Review of Showgirls (1995) by Kenny N — 30 Jun 2015
Roger Ebert has once said that Showgirls is "a waste of a perfectly good NC-17 rating". I cannot agree more. I'm a fan of Paul Verhoeven and his boundary-pushing approach to cinema. But not this one.
I hated this campy, rancid scum of a film. There was not a single moment in this movie where I found myself somewhat entertained. Watching this film was like someone dropping multiple sour candies in my mouth, and forcing me to swallow without gagging.
The script is awful, and the characters are unlikable and have no charisma or whatsoever (how am I supposed to relate to the protagonist who always looks and dresses up like a hooker AND talks like a dumb schoolgirl!?!? UGH.
) It's either super dramatic or super sexual, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MESSAGE THIS FUCKING MOVIE WAS TRYING TO CONVEY! This is one of the worst movies ever made. It's not even "so bad so good".
It's plain awful.
