Summary: "Showgirls" An Instant Camp Classic
Review: There are many movies that come along which critics feel compelled to call an "instant camp classic". Unfortunately, they are simply bad movies for the most part. "Showgirls" is another story. A wonderfully tawdry, overproduced, overacted spectacle featuring a goddess of over the top performing, Elizabeth Berkley. She attacks this glitzy trash as if an Oscar nomination were just within her reach. Gina Gershon and the rest of the cast give this beautiful mistake of a movie the aura of pornographic glamour that only big budget Hollywood could provide. Immensely entertaining, and more fascinating each time I view it. If you're ever feeling depressed, or simply down in the dumps, just watch Ms. Berkley sniff her sad little sniff in what is perhaps my favorite scene. Don't let this movie pass you by simply because it has been labeled "bad". This is "bad" as high art.

Summary: Offensive, Vulgar, Jaded, Wicked, Sinful
Review: This movie is disgusting and degrades women more than playboy, hustler, and porno movies combined.

I burned my DVD, after only watching the first 30 minutes of the movie. This movie was too much for me. I felt very sick and dirty while only watching about 30 minutes of this sleazy movie. There is constant female nudity, sexually frank language, and a demented/crazy rape scene. Fight this filth.

As a movie, this reeeeked! I have never heard more awful and laughable words than what the characters spoke. From what little I saw, I kept thinking to myself, "this movie cannot be serious". but it was, and the naomi character was such foul mouthed tart. That scene where she is in the car and the guy tries to hit on her was hilarious. I thought that was some of the worst acting i've ever seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant rubbish
Review: One of the worst films I've ever seen. Five stars.

Summary: Hilarous. A campy farce. If you "Get It" You'll love it.
Review: The thing that so many people seem to miss is that this film is a farce.
Its a giant satire on the American Dream and Las Vegas. If any of you have seen Robocop, one of Paul Verhoeven's earlier films, you may remember the "News Stories" sequences, which were a hilarious incendiary post-modern mockey of the ultra violent technology driven future. Yet Robocop was a studio film that was marketed as an action adventure. Showgirls works the same way. No studio would intentionally fund a big-budget mockery of America and Vegas. You have to read between the lines people...take for example Nomi riding around in her friend's truck eating the hamburger, she takes the wrapper off and flings it off (littering) and laughs like a schoolgirl. Why would a european filmmaker include that minor detail, hmmmm? There's countless examples of Showgirls being able to be read on multiple levels, making it one of the most hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable films I have seen in a long time. Don't take it so seriously and notice the details - you'll be rewarded.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Masterpiece. What a Way to Ring in 2004.
Review: I had the great pleasure of seeing this film on January 1, 2004, at our friends' annual New Year's Day party. What a combo to ring in 2004: the Rose Parade followed by Showgirls! From the first few moments, you realize you are in the presence of a "masterpiece of bad," a category saved for the likes of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and a few other classics. From a plot that is a mixture of Lifetime TV, soap opera, 42nd Street and Gypsy, to acting and writing that should drive any lover of film to question his entire belief system, not to mention the meaning of life, this classic misses the mark each and every time. . . thank goodness for that. And, from the DVD extra on the making of this film, you'd think you were watching Ingmar Bergman and his cast discussing Wild Strawberries. I urge you to rent or buy this film today, open a nice bottle of cheap chianti, order a pizza, and spend 2 hours and 11 minutes watching this. You'll realize that only in America could so much money be spent on something this bad without everyone involved being imprisoned or executed at dawn. If that doesn't give us hope for the New Year, what will?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HORRIBLE MOVIE, But I am BIASED because it is Jessie!
Review: There were two reasons why I was curious to rent this movie several years ago. One was that I was 13 when it came out on video and I remember the controversy of this film when it received an NC-17 rating. The other reason is that I grew up watching every episode of Saved By The Bell, where the star of this film Elizabeth Berkley plays Jessie. However, in this film Berkley sheds her good girl image and takes on Nomi Malone. Nomi is a girl hitchiking to Vegas because she has a dream to dance in the BIG SHOW! She gets her sole briefcase stolen and relies on a kind citizen to let her move in with her. She has her first job at the Cheetah, a sleazy strip club run by the guy who played Sanchez in Licence to Kill(Robert Davi). She soon quits after getting hired at the Stardust. The thing I like about Nomi is that she will hurt or kill anyone to get to the top of the world. And once she gets to the top of the world, she spits in everyone's face, kicks the crap out of them, and throws away everything that she busted her ass to get. So bad it is good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A big slice of cheesecake
Review: Elizabeth Berkley stars as a hooker who wants to be a Las Vegas showgirl...only to find out it's not as glamourous as she anticipated. All I can say is, they certainly saved money on the wardrobe....Elizabeth Berkley spends over 50% of the movie naked.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best comedy ever made
Review: This movie is full of laughs, highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Oh, my..
Review: Oh, I should get a dozen lashings for having watched this, what with only sixteen years under my hip-hugging jeans, but I thought I'd give it a chance. And I'm pretty pleased to say that I am glad that I did.

This movie won't change your life, but it will give you a couple laughs at the complete ridiculousness of some things - Nomi's tough-girl facade and her hilarious 'sexy' writhing during the 'hot' love scene, and the 'tension' between her and the lead Showgirl.

If you watch this movie without taking it seriously, you'll probably enjoy it. At least on a rainy day.
