This movie is more fun to watch than actually good

Showgirls (1995) is a movie that I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady with a troubled past who wants to become a dancer. She initially makes ends meet at a local strip club where anything goes until she meets a man who agrees to help her refine her technique until is recognized by a more reputable dance company. Once she joins the reputable dance company she discovers it may not be as reputable as it appears.

This movie is directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) and stars Elizabeth Berkley (Saved by the Bell), Kyle MacLachlan (Dune), Gina Gershon (Killer Joe), Glenn Plummer (South Central), Robert Davi (The Goonies) and William Shockley (Robocop).

This movie is more fun to watch than actually good. The women are gorgeous and the dance scenes are very well done. The settings, attire and circumstances are interesting. The storyline is uneven and had potential but could have been executed better. The cast is impressive and well selected. There is an abundance of nudity throughout this picture and a great pool sex scene. The rape scene was tough and how it was handled felt unrealistic, as did several parts of the ending. However, this movie is hard not to watch and enjoy the journey it takes you on.

Overall, this movie is not good but it is entertaining and worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing once.

I've certainly seen worse

No, it isn't a great, or terribly good, movie. I've certainly seen worse. And it is certainly too bad that this seemed to ruin Elizabeth Berkley's career. I didn't find her acting to be all that bad. I think that she was a victim to her role. She might not have had the star power or charisma to overcome a bad role, but I think she played it exactly the way Verhoeven wanted. Not sure that the nudity was a problem either, as I don't recall 1995 being all that puritanical. The rest of the acting was OK, too. I've never been a fan of Kyle MacLachland, but his skeevy smarminess was well-suited to his character. Gina Gershon seemed to have great fun chewing the scenery. No, the problem with the film was that every character was intensely dislikeable. (With the exception of Gina Rivera's Molly character) The exposition of Nomi's problems came way toward the end of the movie, when it was really too late to give her a break for all of her previous behavior. I think most of the blame for this being a poorer movie than it needed to be was Eszterhas's.

Shown Girl is a 10.

There's a point in this film, where it takes a sharp, serious and dark turn, out of damn near nowhere, and it's that moment in the movie that encapsulates just how unfocused Showgirls is.

If I was to take this movie seriously, it would be a 3.5/10. If I weren't to take it seriously, then it would be 6/10. The sexiness and erotica points of the film were done relatively well, however, the story, the acting and over acting, the pace and those hilariously ridiculous seizure fests they tried to pass off as dancing or some kind of choreography were just too shockingly laughable.

Showgirls is sexy, especially Elizabeth Berkley, and is as progressive as any ordinary film tends and needs to be without being static, however, it ran longer than it had to, and that just stretched an already poorly handled story too thin. Its structure and pace doesn't allow one to feel the necessary emotions of sympathy, however parts like what happens in the beginning of the movie give it some edge. I'll meet Showgirls halfway and give it 5/10.
