acearms Review of Dancing at the Blue Iguana

Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000)

Like mixing whiskey, wine and beer to make one sick dude.

[1/10 · 18 November 2003]

I guess when all is said and done, if you're going to portray a sleazy side of life this is the way to do it. It had lots of sex, in various forms, nudity all over, foul mouths by the dozens, murder, greed, and a few other of the deadly sins and should of been given an "X" rating instead of the milder "R" it got. As to the plot, it was about strippers in the night club, Blue Iguana, and their lives on and off stage. The story has a ring of being true to life, but it was hard to follow as the action jumped around so much trying to keep up with a half dozen strippers. Then there's the added feature of an assassin, which seems to be a red herring, thrown in for good measure. This one is kind of like mixing whiskey, wine and beer all in the same evening, which makes for one sick dude. A movie with out any redeeming value.
