Lady Cocoa
Certified Crap. CrapScore 53, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Lola Falana gets a brief break from prison and an immediate reminder that testifying against a mobster is not a holiday. Seventies style, attitude and police complications carry the adventure. The plotting gets tangled, but Cocoa remains the most interesting person in the room.
