Movie Info

This undistinguished drama goes no further than clichéd views about women who gain success by bedding down those who have it. Pia Zadora stars as Jerilee, just out of high school and married to a prominent Hollywood screenwriter, with her own heart-felt aspirations to get her screenplays noticed by the right producers. Her marriage fails for many reasons and once on her own, she comes to the difficult decision that she really will go nowhere fast unless she uses her sexual charms to pave the way

[A] sleazy little yarn.

If The Lonely Lady had even a shred of style and humor, it could qualify as the worst movie of the year. Unfortunately, it's not that good.

You've got to say this much for Miss Zadora: she's got spunk.

a poorly acted, ineptly made and nearly incoherent piece of garbage that can't even properly exploit its star, which would seem to be the primary reason for its existence.

There's a reason Pia is a Razzie icon.

Audience Reviews for The Lonely Lady

With more bad sex scenes than The Room, this is a camptastic pile of fail from beginning to end. It makes me want to see Mommie Dearest. And Pia Zadora couldn't have been more terribly miscast if you made her the leader of the Manhattan Project.

Arguably, the worst movie of all time. Basically a porno without the porn.

    1. Jerilee: I don't suppose I'm the only one who has to fuck her way to the top.
