Pros: none for me Cons: story; acting; dancing; directing
Does it make sense to you that Showgirls from 1995 is listed among the Top Ten Best Bad Films ever made in The Official Razzie Movie Guide by Golden Raspberry founder John Wilson and yet, as of this year, it's the highest grossing NC-17 movie of ...
Pros: Um...So bad that it's entertaining. Cons: Just about everything else.
Well, I finally did it.
For years I had been avoiding the movie "Showgirls" like the plague, since I'd heard so many reports about how it was the worst movie ever made (and things). But finally, curiosity got to me and I decided to place it...
Pros: Female nudity by the cartload Cons: Nothing approaching credible characterization
”Who do you have to **** to get off this picture?” --attributed to Bette Davis Who did Elizabeth Berkley have to **** to get starred in Showgirls? The movie seems intended as a love letter to her, though I ...
Pros: The new DVD extras are hilarious. Cons: Throw away inclusions like shot glasses only drive up the price.
I was approximately 16 years old when "Showgirls" hit the screens. Not only enough to get into the theater, but I got into the theater anyway. I was a budding gay man and even though I'd had little to know exposure to what the gay community enjoys ...
Pros: They spent money on this movie ... Cons: ... just not on the stars, writing, or acting coaches.
SHOWGIRLS (1995) is, by now, notorious as one of the worst movies ever made. That title, of course, is constantly being contested but SHOWGIRLS defends it well, and will always be in the top ten or twenty of the bottommost Hollywood films. The ...
Pros: flashy direction Cons: bad acting, silly script, generally poor outlook on women
I was told by a fairly reasonable friend of mine that she did not subscribe to the generally held belief that Showgirls was nothing
but a putrid, trashy film, deserving all the criticism (and all the Golden Raspberry awards) it received. Her claim...
Pros: Laughably bad, absurd dialog, takes itself way too seriously Cons: A thousand monkeys wrote the script over a thousand years
Showgirls is easily one of the funniest movies I've seen. It ranks up there with anything made by guys with the last name Sidaris. But it isn't funny on purpose. Instead it is such a grand mal turkey of a flick that I can't help but love it as one...
Pros: Everything below the star's neck Cons: Everything above it, including the entire picture
Who was “Showgirls” made for? Middle-aged men who are too ashamed to be seen walking into an X-rated theater? Please. They can watch smut without ever setting foot outside their homes, courtesy of cable and satellite TV. So, who else would...
Pros: cinematography, great locations, sets Cons: cheesy dialog, violent, depressing
It is easy to see why this film was not a success and is often laughed at. The studio spent loads of money creating elaborate sets, but who is this movie really intended for? At first glance, it seems like a skin flick that only exists to satisfy male...
Pros: Elizabeth Berkley looks fantastic nude. The always sexy Gina Gershon topless. Nice cinematography. Cons: Terrible acting, atrocious script, ham-fisted direction, way too long.
I've been a fan of director Paul Verhoeven for many years now. While he has often been criticized for using style over substance, I think that a lot of his films are done quite well. This is especially in regards to his Dutch films from the 70's and ...
Pros: An interesting cast (esp. TV star Berkley)
Cons: Is it bad, or is it supposed to be bad?
It is very hard to put a rating on a movie such as "Showgirls". At certain points, the audience (and myself) may ask "Did he really just say/do that?," in reference to the brazenly stereotypical statements and actions strewn throughout the film, and at...
Pros: It's awful, vulgar, badly acted, badly written, badly 'you name it'! Cons: Same as above. Be in the mood before watching it. So much nudity it gets tiresome.
In 1995, when 'Showgirls' was newly released and in only one movie theater in my area, this little NC-17 movie attracted a picket line on it's opening night! Joe Eszterhas and Paul Verhoeven could not have paid for better publicity than an outraged band...
I'm sorry, I don't dislike many movies and can usually find something redeeming in most I see. But I really think this is the worst movie ever made. Elizabeth Berkeley was SO bad in this movie. Most men would love to see the nudity and sexual content...
Pros: One of the funniest movies ever made. Cons: It wasn't intended that way.
Fade in: A young woman stands at the dusty curb of a highway, trying to hitch a ride. The camera pans around to view her front, eventually zooming in to a closeup of her face, to which a number of people in the audience hiss, "She's UGLY!"...
Seduction, passion and power struggles unfold when the creators of Basic Instinct, director Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers) and screenwriter Joe Es...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
