"Showgirls" is not the worst movie I have ever seen, the critics made it out to be one of the trashiest films of the century. It was a very, very poor movie, but I have definitely seen worse. The main thing wrong with this movie was it's howlingly funny dialogue, there was not one single line that manifested creativity, truth or intelligence. Elizabeth Berkley gives a flat-out awful performance as the lead character, all she did in this movie was lash out with words like "F**k off!!!", "B*tch!!" and "I am not a whore!!!" Gena Gershon was okay, but the vile script didn't give her a chance to express her talent. There is practically no plot, just a lot of naked girls grinding their you-know-what against poles, catty confrontations, Elizabeth Berkley storming out of every room she's in, and some sex scenes that borderline porno material. The only positive thing about this movie was it's direction, it was flashy and intriguing, and it almost distracted me from it's overwhelming crappiness, ALMOST. "Showgirls" is not the kind of movie you can take seriously, only watch it if you're in the mood for campy, trashy fun.

Laughable dialogue, pitiful acting, lots of skin ---- The epitome of cheap fun
