Showgirls Reviews
Incredibly Misunderstood and Understated 90's Film
I've always loved over-the-top films, in terms of acting, plot twists & turns, etc. The only problem? I don't know that the movie I just watched and adored was campy until someone else tells me as such. So was the case with "Showgirls", a movie I had heard so much bashing about that I was to the point where I couldn't believe it would be as bad as so many had previously labeled it. The surprise: I was right.
Showgirls was one hell of a great movie, and no, I'm not talking about it from a so-bad-it's-good viewpoint. It holds up on its own as not only a great film with a wonderfully written (and quite intricate) script, but also as a milestone in MPAA history: "Showgirls" was the first film to be given the NC-17 rating, replacing the of-the-past X. Unfortunately, the mass of persons whose money is being given to the studios didn't think as I did, calling the film horrendous, replacing "Valley of the Dolls" as the worst, camp-iest film of all time.
Personally, I love VOTD and didn't think it was bad either, which was a surprise in itself to find that the world hated that film as well. Same goes for "Mommie Dearest." Therefore, it hurts me when others speak so freely of films I enjoy so with such a bland incompetence to how a movie is supposed to run its course.
I do not know why this film has been ruined by reviewers, not to mention the ruining of the actor's careers (minus Gina Gershon), but at this point I really don't care. I don't agree and don't understand this other view, but I'll accept . . .
I'll just continue loving "Showgirls" and maybe the world will be a happier place.
"Showgirls" has been rated NC-17 for nudity and erotic sexuality throughout, and for some graphic language and sexual violence.
Ridiculous
The film itself includes a hysterical commentary by David Schmader called the greatest movie ever made, plus a pop-up trivia track that offers juicy insights such as Elizabeth Berkley's total time in the film spent naked.The rest of the box includes a collection of party games such as pin the pasties on the stripper and a pair of shot glasses and game instructions for various Showgirls-themed drinking games. It's almost as ridiculous as the movie itself.Highly recommended.Showgirls is fun
