I'm a dude, and I guess I'm suppose to say this is so erotic and watch it over and over again just to see some seductive garbage. But this was just very disturbing. I'll admit that Elizabeth Berkeley who was also from "Saved by the Bell" is very attractive, but her acting is like she's trying to be sexy. As gorgeous as she is, it didn't help out a lot. She shows her breasts.....too many times. I'll be honest as a man, I always wanted to see her boobs. But after the 3rd time, it got really tiring very fast. My reaction was, (YES, she has nice t*ts, enough!) Also....the plot was so disturbing. I just don't understand what the plot this is trying to show me, its just bizarre. This was really hard for me to sit through, it's not worth the time....okay, maybe just one sit through the movie if you like bizarre erotic films with lots of stripping, Elizabeth Berkeley's t*ts and lap dance, weird sex and mediocre softcore porn.… Expand

The girls were looking good. There is no other reason to see this.… Expand

Not 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.… Expand

Showgirls is a prime example of a movie that doesn't really get anything right with a story-line never really goes anywhere, direction that is all over the place and a terrible central performance from Elizabeth Berkley.

If you're really desperate to see lots of topless women then this might be for you, otherwise just avoid it completely.… Expand

I really watch the movie on TV and it nearly killed Elizabeth Berkley's career for good reason.

Sure, Showgirls is a cult classic, but some critics find it obscure why NC-17 films can't even make it to a major wide release unless it's still an R-rated raunchfest. I'm definitely agree with the critics including the late Roger Ebert. Showgirls was like the soft-core erotica of the 90's with little known but finds very unsatisfied for horny men wanting to show a little bit of nudity and some rape scenes and finds itself on the VHS bargain bin. I still hate this movie. I hate the acting, I hate the script, I really hate it when they added nudity. Nobody wants to see that mess. How come a RoboCop director directed this stinker, anyway?… Expand

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

Super trash. all bad reviews are well deserved. They tried to pull on "sexy" strings so hard that at the end some real porn film will be high art compared to "showgirls".

All basically this film is is nudity, dancing, more nudity and naked women and a film that drags and drags with horrible dialogue and weak acting. This film is so bad it's easily one of the worst films ever made. It's tacky and even the sex scenes look rubbish and neither the sex scenes or nudity can save it. A film for adults only due to strong sex scenes me nudity but this film is so bad and so crap. Real stinker.… Expand

The plot is incomprehensible, the acting is poor and it's incredibly un-sexy. The worst film I've ever seen.
