Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: NC17 Release Date: 5-JUN-2001 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: When Goldie Hawn recommended Elizabeth Berkley for a small role in First Wives Club, she publicly stated that Berkley deserved the opportunity to redeem herself after starring in the ridiculous Showgirls. That says it all: this sleazy, stupid movie, which mixes soft pornography with the clichés of backstage dramas, is the kind of project an aspiring actress would have to put well behind her to keep a career going (though costar Gina Gershon certainly benefited from her, uh, exposure in the film). Berkley plays a drifter who hitches a ride to Las Vegas, becomes a lap dancer and then a performer, and discovers--gasp!--there's a whole world of sex and violence involved with these things. Gershon is probably the best element in the film, playing Berkley's bisexual rival for the big spotlight on stage. Joe Eszterhas was well overpaid for writing this howler, and director Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct) should have known better than to take it seriously. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bring Showgirls to Blu-RayThis is like my favorite stupidist awesome film ever. I will watch it, without interuption anytime I see it, I cannot pass it up! Even the Tv version is awesome! This neeeds to be on Blu-Ray, it's begging to be on Blu-Ray, I'm begging for it to be on Blu-ray! With all these extras of course, and maybe a new cast commenentary on cast memebers cellulite in HD, kidding! Most awesome cast ever, a new commentary would be nice Rating: - Saved by the Bell: What happened to Jesse when the others went to collegeAh, Showgirls, the best worst movie of all time. Oh, how I love it so. Poor Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley in the most masochistic role in cinema history), after being caught cheating on the SATs, her offer letters now nothing more than trash, she didn't get into the university of her dreams, she hit rock bottom; and when Slater dumped her for image purposes, her whole world crashed. Jealous of how Zack, Screech, Slater, and Kelly were hanging out in college, she sunk into a deep depression, ...

Even Gina Gershon thought the script was camp, only realizing it wasn't shortly after filming started. Bless her professional heart for not quiting. Liz Berkley is not only an awful actress but a horrible dancer. I lost count the number of times she flung out her arms, either in anger or "dancing." Fries over here, ice over there. Her character is supposed to be irrestitable to men & women alike but she looks like a cheap hooker throughout ... Read More Rating: - OMFG! How did I miss this? ONE OF THE GREAT FILMS OF THE 90'S!!!The editing in this thing is spectacular!!! Here it is! Trash as high art, and here I was writing Paul Verhoven off after a string of irritating Hollywood bores (basically everything after 'Robocop.') I never bothered with 'Showgirls,' for years, but this is Directorial Genius - all the more impressive for turning an absolute P.O.S. script into visually ecstatic gold! Verhoven has regained his former (pre-Hollywood) stature in my eyes, and then some! A masterpiece - don't let anyone say otherwise! The visual exploitation ... Read More |
