Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Eric Stevenson Well, here it is everybody, I'm finally reviewing the highest grossing NC-17 rated movie ever made. Granted, it's still only 20 million dollars, in contrast to the highest grossing R-rated movie "The Passion Of the Christ", which made 370 million dollars. Let me talk about this for a moment. I honestly have no idea why the NC-17 rating even still exists, seeing as how it's practically never used and on the rare times it is used, no one goes to see it anyway. Besides, practically every NC-17 or X rated movie (including this one) has been released in an R-rated version. Back to the movie, as this film is really bad.There's this one scene where Nomi has sex with a guy named Zac. Kind of funny considering she also played the love interest of a guy named Zac on "Saved By The Bell". The movie goes on way too long, the dialogue is corny, and the characters are shallow. It's honestly quite boring, as it's nothing but a woman becoming a stripper and rising in the ranks as a dancer. I will at least give this film some credit as it honestly does earn its NC-17 rating. Still, it's better off being forgotten. *1/2

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Showgirls" (1995)The highest grossing NC-17 rated movie on the U.S. domestic market of all time, strives with honesty of kill or get killed for a living, breathing part in a Las Vegas pyro-tec dancing act, where director Paul Verhoeven pulled all the strings in pushing his ultimate limits after the international smash hit thriller "Basic Instinct" (1992).In case of "Showgirls" every spectator needs solid nerves to enjoy the ride, where leading country girl actress Elizabeth Berkley as the character of Nomi Malone already fulfilling her dream of priming showtime under the playtime support of supporting cast Kyle MacLachlan and Gina Gershon, who delivers the hardcore counterpart version as blonde Nomi's nemesis Cristal.The screen-story written by once highest paid writer in Hollywood Joe Eszterhas finds the comprehended skills of Paul Verhoeven, who even with back-securing long-term collaborating producer Alan Marshall could not convincing satisfaction with preliminary critics surrounding executive producer Mario Kassar, who had been about to close the production company Carolco Pictures.With now over twenty years down the road since the release of "Showgirls", it becomes safe to say that the involved filmmakers, including cinematographer Jost Vacano and production designer Allen Cameron, helped to produce a fast-paced U.S. American dream story with not to shy away erotic elements that needs be considered as part of Hollywood motion picture entertainment.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Mr Black It's been a few years since I've seen Showgirls so decided to back and give it another try. Yup, it is horrible. Just a terrible movie. Some of it is just to corny and the rest just bad. If you could have a fun drinking game, you could have a shot every time Nomi gets angry, like yelling, tossing her fries, or storming out - you would be drunk in the first five minutes of the film. The characters are just over the top and not one likable person in the entire cast. I don't know what Elizabeth Berkley was thinking to go full nude like that in her first movie, but it sure sunk her career. Gena Gershon, well, just an irritating character, which I guess does say something good about her. But this whole calling everyone 'darlin' every two seconds was irritating. The rest of the girls in the cast, well lets just say pretty much all of them were probably promised a big starring role by the producers if they just got naked for this one film. hahaha,,, live and learn girls. A terrible movie.

frankie-smales showgirls exploited the show dancing scene in Las Vegas where it's not all glamorous as it seems where you are today's newest star to tomorrows has being and how vindictive it can be but it was a big challenge for actress Elisabeth Berkley known to many fans as Jesse Spano in saved by the bell but this time the actress swapped bayview high for the city of sin as Nomi Malone with high hopes of making it after she has her belongings stolen by the guy who gave her a lift by leaving Nomi sans baggage and money ends up being befriended by local exotic dancer Molly Abrams played by Gina Ravera that takes an distraught Nomi under her wing until she finds her feet the only way is by getting a job working as an exotic dancer whilst she was dancing she got spotted by veteran dancer Crystal Connors played by the ever talented Gina Gershon scouting for her protégé but for Nomi the reality sank in after she made the short list as the movie progressed it got serious after Zack Carey uncovered something Scandalous about Nomi's past before she embarked on an vendetta against her friends attackers but it ended up with Crystal in hospital and Nomi leaving Vegas for her next destination plus baggage and money but after years of being heavenly blasted by critics the film finally met it's calling by the fans that garnered it a cult classic that gave Berkley the respect that she deserved that's why I am giving this an 10/10 with and elevated 20 stars and leave your ambitions at the door.FRANKIE HOLTZMANN SMALESALIENBUGSTOMPERFAN
