Plot: Nomi Malone is a fiercely independent young woman who comes to Las Vegas running from a troubled past. Looking for a break on the Las Vegas Strip, she lands a job as an erotic dancer at the Cheetah Cl...( read more read more... )ub. But, to make ends meet, she also works as a lap dancer in the club's back room. Possessed of a raw and riveting dancing talent, Nomi is soon introduced to the vastly different world of the big Las Vegas shows--and the powerful men and women who run them. Zack, the handsome and ambitious entertainment director at the Stardust, could push Nomi into the spotlight. Cristal, the glamorous star of the stage show Goddess, is inexorably drawn to Nomi's beauty and spirit and may make her... or break her. As the complex bonds of passion, jealousy and love form between them, Nomi is pulled deeper into the world she so desperately desires.

    Wow! I knew it was bad, but I was expecting it to be quite this bad! The acting is mediocre at best, the dancing is laughable and the lead caracter is completely unlikable.

    Wow...... Who the hell thought this would be a good idea?!?!?!? The only good part of this movie is the poster, it's kinda cool.

    Not an exceptional movie, and almost all of the performances are waaay over the top...but it's still a fun movie to watch. Call it the ultimate guilty pleasure.

    I'm so glad I've seen this movie.It was so overestimated and cheap you just loved glancing at every nude body without a specific ideal or movement.Is this the origin of pop-corn erotica or just another copy to expand the likes of Wild Orchid and similar cheap erotic films a while ago?More like chauvinism on my case.
    p.s.: whoever refers to the All About Eve parallelism clearly doesn't know a thing about movies.

    I was in awe from the very beggining. I want to be like Gina Gershon when I grow up. I think the reason this has such a low rating is because people completely missed the point here: Nomi betraying Cristal is clearly an allusion to All About Eve, Nomi's rise of fame represents quite clearly the harsh reality of the starving children in Africa and waterfall pool fucking... uh.... um... WHATEVER. YOU PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT =(

    I didn't actually watch this. Just caught about 10 min on TV. It was terrible. Jeez that Power Ranger girl can't act.

    A sleazier, hotter, and all-around cooler modern-day version of "All About Eve" - Verhoeven is a genius.

    Too many boobs. And Kyle McLachlan? Ridiculous film, just ridiculous. Clearly a horrifically bad movie and also irresistable

    It is quite a good movie, don't know why so many critic dislike it. I got the VIP edition set DVD at a bargain. Elizabeth Berkley is quite good in this role, depicting what she goes through and did to be the number 1 star in the show. It sure ain't easy to be a Showgirl.

    catchy title and what you see is what you get... glitz and glamour, the behind the scenes drama of stage life... predictible in some ways, yes, but still nicely done. elizabeth berkely is impressive and her character is brassy enough to kick butt and savvy enough to get what she wants.

    Berkeley was a freakin hottie. And though the movie was cheese galore, her hotness made it a cult classic.

    I wanted to see it because to Gina Gershon and Kyle MacLachlan. I think I had to take a shower after watching this movie.
    SPOILER~

    It's like going to a strip club. It sounds like a great idea, but when you get there, the naked women are hideous, you're not getting off like you thought you would be, and then you realize you're poorer than had you just stayed home.

    this is one of those movies that has so many problems it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. well, i will try. jessie spano was poorly written. the acting was bad and the plot was weak. i never felt a connection to this movie. i remained an outsider, laughing occasionally at its cheapness. jessie got pissed off and ran away so many times it became funny. the ending was atrocious. how can an erotic film be so boring?? not gonna lie, some of the trashiness was fun. the ideal way to watch this would be to fast-forward to the trashy dance scenes. i know this is a big camp film and it definitely has campy aspects. but i thought it was overall too depressing to be considered any fun.

    From what I've heard, it seems to be a film made to give pubescent boys an excuse to masturbate in the cinema. Am I wrong?

    The script (from the bits I've read on IMDb) looks simply awful, but hey, you never know.

    There is only one reason I will see this. The critically bashed pool scene.

    Probably one of the best BAD movies ever made. I little depressing if you are familiar with any of the press that Elzabeth Berkley did for this film. She spent SO much time talking about how hard she worked on this film and how proud she was of it, that you can't help but wonder if she ever actually saw the finished project. There are so many amazingly bad moments in this film, but also lots of truly grand "train wreck" moments as well. Invite some friends over, have a few drinks and enjoy.

    quite interesting dance movie and lots of flesh is shown in this one if you're interested ofcourse. But storyline is nice although quite basic but still...it's a movie! i like couple of the dance moves.

    My salvation in those lonely pre-internet-porn days. Berkley and Gershon are instant erection. Well, the first used to be, she looks like shit these days.

    Evey thing about this film was just BAD. I have never seen so much nudity in a movie either. For all of the hype before this one came out...not worth any of it.
