Showgirls is one of those movies that falls into the genre:"sleezeart". It's not a movie to be taken seriously in any way and it definetly is the quintessential "bachelor party" dream movie.
To be fair though I saw this in the theatres(went in not having any idea what it was) and proceeded to definetly be entertained so the evening wasn't a total waste. This is, at least a mvoie one can howl over. When it was over most of the comments were about how bad it was. But at least it wasn't boring.
In all seriousness-the title itself is a dead giveaway that one isn't going in to see shakespear. Showgirls is what it is-its a movie about Las Vegas,strippers and what else?-showgirls. Not a movie to take seriously but hardly boring-and though i have no desire to see it again I could see this one being viewed in a big party situation with people whooping and hollering-its that kind of movie and it knows it.
But I don't think the movie was meant to be taken seriously. This is not a sex moive that thinks of itself as anything else-I didnt get the feeling, unlike "wild orchid" for example this movie thought it was great-it was just a sex and showgirl party movie and speaking of "wild orchid" this one at least managed to be better then that so thats 1 good thing.
