RandyC.Sep 30, 20058A masterpiece of high camp... i laughed the entire time.

RD.Sep 29, 20073Not very erotic. I mean some scenes are very sexy like Elizabeth Berkeley's lap dance or her final French kiss with Gina Gershon. But the movie is not well acted and directed. Although, it is not that the movie has no redeeming qualities at all (infact, it is very unintentionally funny at times), but still a very bad movie.

Dec 25, 20120One of the worst movies. It has decent acting compared to a porn movie. The acting is plain bad. The main character can only express two feelings: anger and lust. The story is really the low end of Hollywood screenplays. It is nothing more than a soft-core porn movie. The girls were looking good. There is no other reason to see this.

SamApr 6, 20060It's gone beyond the well-loved "so bad it's good" bar and gone down to something much, much worse.

SabrinaJ.Jan 29, 20077Not to be taken to serious. It's a very clean T & A movie. This movie will be a classic!!

PatrickJFeb 19, 20077"Its a Versace" Nomi sums it up herself nicely. Also deserves at least a six out of 10 for being six points better than the atrocious Striptease.

LeonardP.Aug 15, 200410Showgirls is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. It's like a big budget Dynasty.

TheGilbertMulroneycakesSmile-TimeVarietyHourDec 3, 20020Look! There's some naked women! In the nude! With no clothes on! The film underneath's totally and utterly terrible, but it's got naked women in it! With nothing on! They're all naked! They're naked! Naked! Naked!

PatC.Jan 19, 20041I've heard that sex sells and that unscrupulous people can exploit human weakness for anything that's sexually titillating. This film proves otherwise. This is what happens to a movie when the costume budget is first to go. One point as educational material for explaining lap dancing protocol.

SusanM.Feb 3, 20058Cheesy, yes. But sexy, definitley, and fun, too. Even though I'm a straight girl, I admit I had a big crush on Gina Gershon after this movie!!

WillieB.Feb 13, 200510An overlooked masterpiece. A deliberately satirical look at American culture that's effective, damning, entertaining, well-written, and very, very funny.

MarkM.Jul 14, 20069A cult Classic, much better then you think. Don't make the mistake to take this film to seriously.

BobbySSep 14, 200410This is the best, worst movie ever! My friends and I love this horrid film so much we recite lines from it, scenes from it. Heck, we even mimic some of the dance moves! If you take this film seriously... well, you are missing the whole joy that is Showgirls. It's terrible, and yet so entertaining! For camp fans ONLY!

JJBigunsJul 6, 200410Seeing Elizabeth Berkley's breasts flap up and down wildly during the swimming pool sex scene is worth the price of admission. Thumbs up on this one!

BeauF.Aug 11, 20023Total soft peter.

AndyQ.Jul 13, 20038OK. Yes, I would probably agree with all of the Zero Votes here but if we look at a good film as being entertaining, this is one of the best! View it as an example of truly bad acting, dialogue, and script-writing! Sink into the hilarity of its over-the-top histrionics! If you've wondered what the word "camp" really means, this is it. Check it out.

BenjaminB.Apr 15, 200410Hilariously bad acting and sleazy dialogue and the most ridiculous sex scene in a film ever (the swimming pool)...This movie still cracks me up and I've seen it at least 50 times, what other movie can you say that about? I can't think of a single one. Cult classic. "Oh my god! I used to eat doggy chow too!"

BrianJ.Jan 10, 200510I found this movie thoroughly entertaining, which is the reason I watch movies in the first place, (for entertainment).

MichaelL.Mar 20, 20059One of the best "bad" movies ever. Right up there with "Valley of the Dolls" and "Faster, Pussycat, Kill, Kill". The poor, self-important critics missed a hoot of a ride by trying to take this dreck seriously. It's pure midnight movie joy! Over-acted, over produced, stereotyped into oblivion...accidental genius. To the critics: As Nomi Malone would say... "chill!"

Sep 28, 20106I am not comfortable calling Showgirls a bad film. I derive far too much enjoyment from its misguided attempt at drama to judge it so harshly. No, its not fair to call Showgirls bad, but I think â
-
Mar 15, 20116It's a real guilty pleasure with crappy acting from every actor in this movie.
-
Sep 29, 20115While Elizabeth Berkeley looks incredible, the movie would have been better had she actually looked like she was enjoying what she was doing. Other than that this is a guilty pleasure. The kiss between Elizabeth & Gina Gershon is up therer with the best lesbian kiss in a movie.

Jun 2, 201210i thought it was a pretty good movie,don't listen to the haters....
i never knew of this movie until my sister told me about it,i was hesitant at first to watch it honestly but when i did,i enjoyed it one of the best erotic movies i have ever seen in my life....
i constantly watch it from time to time. -
Dec 9, 20125"Showgirls" is not nearly as bad as you might think; what it lacks in screenwriting it makes up for in gratuitous nudity. A peep show on the silver screen.

20This film is just a coarser, dumber, smuttier remake of the 1983 Eszterhas-penned "Flashdance," throbbing music, working-class Cinderella and all.

60What matters much more than the story or the Spicy Stuff is the dancing, the show-biz dancing. It's electric. Exciting. And there's lots of it. [23 Oct 1995]

25What's completely baffling is that everyone in the film thinks Nomi is one heck of a dancer, even though her one move -- throwing her arms out stiffly -- is straight out of "Dr. Strangelove."
