Title: Uplifting fun for the whole family
Review: A beautiful drifter (Elizabeth Berkeley) blows into Las Vegas and finds success as the understudy of a big time stripper (Gina Gershon). But at what cost?This film has long had the reputation of being one of the all-time Hollywood turkeys, and I must say that for once a film has lived up to its hype. "Showgirls" is such a naked look into the retarded sexuality of screenwriter Joe Ezsterhas and director Paul Verhoeven that it would have made Freud blush. It is, however, good for several unintended laughs. You can definitely enjoy this if you're in the right frame of mind and don't harbor any unrealistic expectations--such as seeing a halfway decent movie.
