Review of Showgirls (1995) by Chris M — 09 Jun 2010

I'd been told this was 'so bad it's good ... it's unintentionally hilarious'.

The second claim is almost right. It's unintentionally funny - especially Kyle Maclachlan's manic expressions and the terrible dialogue, but more cringeworthy than actually funny.

But for the first claim, it's just so bad. Everything about it, but especially that it takes itself so seriously, as though by taking itself seriously it might trick the viewer into thinking it's more than just soft porn. It's not.
