Description: Sunni (Kari Wuhrer, TV’s "Anaconda," "Higher Learning," TV’s "Sliders") is a beautiful singer with an attitude, and is about to record her first album. Deacon (Peter Outerbridge, "Mission to Mars," TV’s "Millenium"), is an ex-tycoon producer whose popularity has gone downhill and who thinks he can make it big again with this young sex kitten. He tries everything to turn her tin ear into gold, but she just can't carry a tune. Drowning his sorrows at a karaoke bar, he stumbles upon a young housewife (Gail O’Grady, TV’s "American Dreams," "NYPD Blue," "China Beach) who is more at home in the kitchen than behind a microphone, but has an amazing voice. He convinces her to lend her voice to what she believes is a demo tape. Her voice is dubbed over Sunni's entire album which ultimately hits the top of the charts. The fans go wild and demand a live concert. Will the two women meet? How will Deacon handle the scam he has pulled? Will the fans get the live concert they crave?
Lip service very good This is a very well acted and humorous movie I liked it very much. Kari wuhrer is delightful as a seductive bimbo, who by her relationship with a record mogul gets a chance at a singing career her problem is that she has no talent at all as a singer but yet thinks she's very talented as a singer. enter record producer roger duncan who has to make it all work out, when he stumbles upon Maggie stanley at a karaoke bar who has a great voice but is crowd shy he tells her he is a record producer and would very much like her to make a demo unbeknownst to maggie he dubbeds over Kari's voice with maggie's Kari(sunni)becomes a instant star maggie becomes pissed! what follows is hilarious because now sunni wants to perform live. since this would be a great embarrassment to all involved in the coverup. what follows is trickery and backstabbing, in short what follows is sunni's humiliation and maggie's vindication. This movie was well produced entertaining and funny which is very uncommon in a video of this sort.
A really cool movie. Yeah, it's a B movie, but there are some wonderful things to point out. It was originally released on VH1 as "Out of Sync". I happened to catch it and all the cliche'd characters and catchy songs totally got me into it. Gail O' Grady is absolutely hot and her son in the movie (who's actually in the now defunct band, Serial Joe) reminds me of when I was young trying to find direction in music. For a TV movie it totally rocked and I could watch the ending song "If Love Could Only Live (Online)" a hundred times. From what I've found, that song was written and recorded by Kim Bingham with her band, "The Kim Band", but I haven't been able to find it...just a snippet from her website. As for Serial Joe and the movie soundtrack, there are no traces of it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a real gem and comes with some great laughs...PLUS you can learn a thing or two on how to deal with your troublesome teenagers!!!
One Great and Interesting movie!!! I liked this movie--good plot, good acting and Kuri Wuhrer nude--what else do you need? She doesn't have a voice and she plays the part of one stupid singer who can't sing rather well--but she is good at it. The other actors are good also, especially the one with the voice--she is one good singer and she is beautiful. The plot is great and easy to follow. This is one B movie to watch!!!!
Re: Singer for "Lip Service" As per the previous reviewer's inquiry as to who the singer in this movie was...it was (an actress herself) someone named "Karen Le Blanc". As far as I can tell there is no available soundtrack for this movie. Hope this helps......A very well done movie appreciated as I am a musician myself. Very good songs too.
Don't give me Lip I loved this movie when I saw it on VH1. It was called Out of Sync. They had to change the title since there was another movie of the same title it appears as I have been looking for this movie. I thought the movie was funny and helped me get over a little of my stage fright and the music is pretty good.
