Critic MJ Simpson in the UK raves: "Steve Balderson is the best-kept secret in American independent cinema. He makes his own films - which are unfailingly brilliant - and the rest of the world very, very gradually catches up with him...  'Stuck!' [is] an unexpectedly powerful, skilfully managed slice of women-in-prison drama that never teeters into camp..."
 
Gonzoriffic Movie Reviews says "Stuck!" is: "Gorgeous ...feels less like an homage and more like a newly discovered classic... better than most of the movies that inspired it..."

Faithfully re-producing the genre with a modern, tongue-in-cheek twist, expect all the hallmarks of a classic prison movie complete with a wrongly accused heroine, hard boiled dames, diabolical alliances, forbidden love, cat-fighting cuties, a sadistic warden, and corrupt prison guards.
 
It's the story of Daisy, an innocent young woman framed for killing her mother.  Condemned by the press and the public, Daisy is found guilty of murder and sentenced to die by hanging.  This jazzy, finger-snapping, broads-behind-bars film is a throwback to another era, with terse Tennessee Williams-style verbal sparring, non-stop action and enough bad-girl jailhouse hi-jinks to make the audience lose the distinction between good and evil.
