Summary: one of the worst movies of all time
Review: this is really a horrible movie. no good story meets a cast that is wasted permenetly. man what a crock of spit man. I'm sorry for all you Striptease fans but this one I did not like and I dont care if Demi Moore is nude or not, its so awful, this and Showgirls. I cant believe this was ever concieved man. I was bored all threw out and Burt Reynolds is not funny at all. Ving Rhames, Armand Assante and Robert Patrick are wasted as well

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: As bad as you might think
Review: First off, any one going to a movie entitled "Striptease" and expecting a great movie needs to be punished. That doesn't give it an excuse to be bad, though...

...and not just the title, but the first five minutes of this movie lets you know just how contrived it is. Demi Moore is having problems keeping custody of her kid in a divorce case because she doesn't have a job at the present state. Her husband, a drinking, two-bit, deadbeat, man with a history of crime is given the daughter instead. Huh?

It gets worse. Demi's character has experience at government jobs...so of course, the only job in America for her after that is being a stripper. What?! OK, wait a minute...crap-o-meter on overload! I don't think so.

The movie goes on to get worse and worse. Its not worth the time of any one, even a pervert, because even as softcore porn this thing is bad.

In the words of Jay Sherman, "It stinks!"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nudity & humor are good.
Review: I never watched this for a plot, I watched it to see Demi naked, get a few laughs. People who expected a bigger plot or some kind of huge message are pretty narrow minded in how they enjoy something. This movie was to satisy a few simple carnal pleasures like great female nudity, and a few laughs. If you need satisfaction from 500 different things and tear the movie apart your just going to disappoint yourself too often.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly Good! Not so sexy, but really funny.
Review: So a friend and I snagged this movie for a guy's night when the girls were out of town. We got it more as a joke than anything else. I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. Not because it was sexy but because it was funny. The main thing this flick has going for it is that it didn't take itself seriously. Ving Rhames, who I always love, did a superb job playing a no BS bodyguard. Burt Reynolds was hilarious. And Demi? Well, she got naked. That's about all I can say for her. The story was hugely predictable, and the acting was pretty bad, but this movie was really funny. There were some great one-liners. The best line of the movie was one of Ving's: "Nico: What are you, nuts?! Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish." Rent it with the guys, drink a few beers, have a few laughs. It's not as bad as you might think.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: that doesn't look anything like George Bush
Review: I can't believe this was 'based' on a book. In reading other reviews, they say it dosen't really follow the book though.
So maybe it's alright?

Because, this movie was absolute CRAP!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Sexy
Review: A fun comedy, I would thik made with a pretty low budget, but still worth seeing and if you like Demi Moore it is definetly worth buying it.
In the unrated version you will see some more nude scenes compared to the original.
It is definetly the sexiest movie for Demi Moore's fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just about nails the book perfectly
Review: After reading the excellent book I just had to go out and get the movie. I would say that except for a collapse at the end, this film does capture the essence and spirit of the movie. And that's not an easy thing to do. Carl Hiaasen's novel about the topless business in Florida walked a very fine line. On one hand, just about everyone but Erin, played very well by Demi Moore, was portrayed as a loser to some degree under the biting pen of the author. Yet he told a story that made these characters seems realistic.

The movie does a much better job than I thought could be done with the subtle attitude of the story. A lot of the reviews I've seen show that the reviewers who saw it just don't get it. Yes, most of the characters are dumb and or evil, but they are done so in a sly, elegant manner. Just about every character in the movie nails the book, except Stuart Pankin's dull portrayal of the sleazy lawyer.

There are two factors that keep it from five-star territory. First, Hollywood does wimp out on the ending. One of the fine things Hiassen does while keeping his characters funny is also to make some of them realistically dangerous. These are nasty people, and while there is death in the movie, there was a lot more in the book. Were they thinking of making a sequel?

The other factor, and I have to be a stickler about it, is that the book portrayed a nude club, and there's just not enough shots of the ladies the way I'd like to see them. Some plot is just too important to leave out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can't figure out what it wants to be
Review: First half is a drama, second half is slapstick comedy. Both halves are awful. What are we supposed to make of a movie when the people who made it can't figure out what it's supposed to be. If you want to watch a good drama with Demi Moore try A Few Good Men or G.I. Jane.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Movie
Review: It's good, not great, but good. If you like dramas...this movie is for you!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disclaimer: Do Not See If You Have A Brain
Review: The film should've been released with the following disclaimer: "not for those with a brain." The story is drivel, and the characters are as cardboard as they come. The only reason to see STRIPTEASE would be for the titilation (mild, at best) provided by Demi Moore. She works her butt off working her butt off, and that'll appeal to some men. Other men? Well, we prefer our women just a tad more cerebral.
