This lovingly ridiculous yet sincere trash satire is a glorious and jaw dropping "fuck you" to empty Hollywood films, placing all that is low brow on an huge glittery pedestal with eye popping colour and performances (especially from a deadpan Elizabeth Berkley who tears through the film like a wild animal in true Russ Meyer fashion). If you can't enjoy this film on any level that you must be one of the most boring people alive. Nomi Malone = GOD.

Verhoeven pulled off a fucking coup, here, didn't he? Showgirls combines the myth-making Americana pomp of Busby Berkeley, and the subversive, knowing sex games of Russ Meyer, but then it took all of Bob Fosse's quaaludes and had a seizure going down on a hooker in a Vegas back room. Its Tits-and-Ass-and-Overacting glam is a smokescreen obscuring the truth of the musical mythos: Every kind act is shit on and every little shit gets ahead. It's neither serious nor a satire - it's a statement.

The best melodramatic trash post-Douglas Sirk, "Showgirls" is a manically funny, sometimes disturbingly stressful, and highly original work of genius, fueled with satire-satirizing-satire that boosts an energy unlike any other film I've seen. It works as a bad movie, when the brain isn't functioning. It works as brilliant craft, when the brain is up and moving. "Showgirls" is a colorful and intelligent (maybe a bit too intelligent) examination of psychosexual American hypocrisy.

Less satire than hyper-melodrama, this film has great energy and takes big chances. As a result, some scenes inevitably don't work, but it seems likely that the film's failure was due to more than just its general misanthropy (represented by Las Vegas, land of assholes), and more than just resentment at the fact the writer was paid $2 million for a back-of-a-napkin screenplay. Could it be that what frightens audiences and critics alike is still anything like a close-up look at female sexuality?

Very provocative satire but the problem for me is that it switches tone so much that it kinda becomes a satire on its own satire if that makes any sense. I certainly can't recall a film I've seen with more passive aggressive mockery towards everything about its subject. So that's something at least. Just seething with vindictive rage & gets more than a little carried away with it, losing the consistency of its ideas. Still Verhoeven has the ability to repeatedly floor me with his outrageousness.

Starts out very promising with potential to be one of the best so bad its good movies but deteriorates into just a movie you can get drunk to and laugh at. Everyone is trying SO hard in this film, it's great. Especially Elizabeth Berkley who is desperate to be considered a serious actress (definition of a butterface though. oh, and can't act). Basically a softcore porno with a better storyline. Ending doesn't make any sense.

Showgirls is the cinematic equivalent of a colourful candy coated cyanide pill: it's superficially pleasing but rotten to its core, and it's the perfect aesthetic match for Verhoeven's absurdly hyperbolic vision of contemporary decadence marked by pornographic excess and ruthless ambition. Disregard the noise of the irony brigade: Showgirls is aggressively energetic cinema made by a gonzo master, and it's best appreciated as a sleazy melodramatic 'musical' shot with garish elegance.

This might be the most baffling movie I've ever seen. Elizabeth Berkley gives either the best performance in film history or the worst. I have no idea if it's successful satire or pure trash. Neither? Both? It's the most enigmatic nonsense I've seen since... I don't even know. It's somewhere between 0 and 100, so I'll average it. I'd give it a question mark if I could.

maybe this says more about me than the respective movies, but whereas i felt above the scope of SUCKER PUNCH's feminist indictment, there was no escaping this. if the mark of a great satire is that it sells you the narrative it's spinning while simultaneously spearing you for buying, SHOWGIRLS is GREAT satire. it's physically impossible to resist the immaculately choreographed, righteous sensory overload with which the story's told, and impossible not to feel uncomfortable about that complicity.

It seems to me that this film is better viewed, and thus more fully appreciated, after first watching Wiseman's 'Crazy Horse'. What Verhoeven presents to us here is not just a collection of images, sounds, music and people acting, but a 'feeling'. More specifically a quality of airiness mixed with danger. A heady film for sure, but not titillating. It's deserving of more than ironic love from cinephiles.

A good way to end a day filled with Looney Tunes, so I didn't even need a mind shift. Like those cartoons things happen out of nowhere. It can't even be defended like Verhoeven's really misunderstood satire Starship Troopers. Anyway letting go to the idiocrasy you may easily derive some fun over this. No other movie deserved a "69" more.

Bunuellian vision on and satirization of showbiz: the objectification and liberation of women, as a parralel to Bergmans dialectical approach in Persona. Very crude, though. Truly controversial and upsetting would have been to enlist b-list women and a-list men, in a 'Close-up' effort, and to add some reality to the film.

Elizabeth Berkeley. Did you know that Berkeley (the school) was named after George Berkeley (the philosopher)? Did you also happen to know that it's pronounced BARK-li not Berk-ley? I had a philosophy teacher who would flip the fuck out about that. He brought it up every class. There, I just wrestled a philosophical discussion out of a movie about strippers. I think that speaks volumes about my social skills.

90s Prince slappers, shirtless Kyle MacLachlan, consistently great camerawork, peak midnight-movie neon colors, and a deconstruction of Hollywood's love of deconstructing Vegas glamour - every minute is gloriously batshit. Along with Freddy Got Fingered, one of the modern films most desperately in need of a serious critical reevaluation.

This could have been a lot more interesting, a lot more carefully directed, as it were this film is targetted to a sexual audience instead of an audience that would appreciate the trial and error in this harsh business. That formal review out of the way, I would never see this film again. Ever. I think it should become a trial of adulthood. People 17 should be forced to sit through this movie to become an adult. RIGHT OF PASSAGE... surviving this awful film.

Despite its reputation as a bad film it's not so much bad as underwhelming and severely flawed. It takes itself too seriously to be good satire but is too ridiculous to take at face value. Even so, there's some interesting stuff from time to time and despite many problems it's competent enough to be watchable.

It mistakes raunchiness for risque sexiness, gleefully piling on lurid set pieces so that it quickly becomes wonderful unintentional comedy. Berkley's acting is really a thing to behold: wrong-footed at every emotional step. She goes from sedate to fully enraged at the drop of a G-string, and is so relentlessly physical that you expect her to play the last scene with an Olympic gold medal around her neck. The performance is brutally bad. It also inspires a weird admiration for its fearlessness.

I gave this film a second chance after 13 years and I like it better this time around. The film thoroughly dissects the seedy, venal setting, but it has some serious pacing issues. The film doesn't need anywhere near 131 minutes to tell its story, and the episodic structure and mawkish ending only exacerbate this. The constant ambiguity in the dialogue feels annoying rather than cunning, and the tone wriggles all over the place. I still respect the extremely hard work the cast put in, though.

"All About Eve" with strippers. The acting is over-the-top and the dialogue ranges from cringy to absurd, but at its heart it is a Verhoeven satire through and through. It is a beautifully shot and presented film that revels in shallowness. The story arc for Elizabeth Berkley is fulfilling in spite of her acting performance. Every sleazy and dramatic aspect is exaggerated, which is par for the course in a Verhoeven. If you watch as a satire, it is as good as his other films.

Given the film's general notoriety, this is a surprisingly dull and flaccid effort, with Verhoeven unusually timid in his handling of material which should be right in his ball-park, resulting in a film that's generally watchable, but uninspired; livened by some absurdly acrobatic sex scenes, awkwardly inserted to try and top BASIC INSTINCT. The performers can't be faulted; Berkley is effectively overwrought, even if the film around her doesn't support her interesting characterisation.

I understand why this movie did not resonate with many on its initial release, it's a bombastic, trashy, melodramatic, ridiculous, over the top send up of hyper sexualized American entertainment. It's wildly funny, even more so because it's not a sexy movie at all. Berkley has a great thrashing spastic performance and all of the male higher ups act with enough contemptuous sleaze to hammer home the stirring condemnation. The glitzy facade of vegas is captured marvelously. Next stop, Los Angeles!

What I knew about this movie was that it was mentioned as one of the worst movies ever made. But really, it's not. I can see why it was still too shocking for the 90's audience with the crazy amount of boobage it shows.cked over that today, they just haven't consumed a lot of media. Everyone's kind of a bitch or a dick here, except for Molly, but at least some amends are made towards the end and there's some character growth happening here.

An inspiring story about a confident and independent woman using her empowerment to advance through a career that she loves no matter what people think -- and then uses her empowerment to bully and manipulate her peers for her own gain. Now that's character development! A properly vulgar and hysterical film about a vulgar and hysterical part of America, and manages to show a smidgen of humanity in it, but this remains a window into a mostly ugly, but somewhat alluring world.

It is a difficult film to (unironically) enjoy, but it is an excellent, scathing satire. Despite what it sells itself as, it's not a very sexy film (unlike, say, Basic Instinct), the sexual imagery is clinical at best and downright terrifying at worst. But that really supports the satire and is definitely an interesting break away from more typical over-sexualized Hollywood films. Whether you end up hating or loving this film (and I do love it), it will definitely immerse you in some way.

This is an interesting one. I can't figure out whether it was supposed to be a great satire disguised as an over-the-top movie all about showing skin, but I don't know if it matters.

Honestly, I didn't wholly hate this? I dug its gratuitous use of nudity and it had a lot of really cool choreographed scenes. It also has bombastic style and is so vibrant that it's never boring. On the other hand, the film's attempts at characterization and drama is so ham-fisted and absurd that it's hard to take seriously, especially with how it treats the concepts of fame and celebrity. The acting by Berkley is so bad that her character comes across as really daft in any given moment.

If you don't get Verhoeven's style of moralities mixed with humour and showing and/or doing whatever the fuck he wants you won't get this flick. I do, and I like this flick which is beginning to get a bit of a cult following now, 25 years after release.

British cinemas are very quiet places so remembering just how loudly I -alone- laughed at the swimming pool scene still makes me blush. It's not nearly as bad as people made out then or now.

"It must be weird, not having anybody cum on you." I think Kyle McLachlan is the only winner here, getting the best view in the house during Berkleys seizure-gasm. Teeters over the edge of funny-bad but not frequently enough.

This movie is bad, but it's bad in an interesting way. I can't figure out if this is a satire or not. Verhoeven sitting in the director's chair makes me think that it is, but it is so close to the line that it ultimately doesn't work.

Probably one of the 10 sexiest films I've ever watched, but... doesn't make it good.

Verhoeven is brilliant when he can be bothered to care, which is actually most days. What was it that made Showgirls so bad? It has to be his fault, at least partially. Did he think there was more there to satirize than there was? Did he try going at this film from a feminist angle only to realize that he lacked the intellectual chops for that? When a good artist goes bad, it's actually pretty mystifying. Really, that's the only reason to watch Showgirls.
