Just horrendous from start to finish. People would watch this most likely for the nudity or if your in the same profession as the characters. Deservingly awarded in the Golden Raspberry Award for including Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Elizabeth Berkley), Worst Director (Paul Verhoeven), Worst Screenplay (Joe Eszterhas), Worst New Star (Elizabeth Berkley), Worst Screen Couple and Worst Original Song. It's a pity you had Gina Gershon in it.

It was pretty bad. But, the plot did have a few interesting points to it.

Showgirls (1995) A young girl named Nomi(Saved by the Bell’s Elizabeth Berkley), hitches a ride to Las Vegas with aspirations of becoming a Vegas showgirl. Isn’t that what every little girl dreams about? But, life is hard in Vegas, and Nomi will have to sleep her way to the top, leaving her friends (other showgirls) and boyfriends (why are you in this movie Kyle MacLachlan?) behind. For a film that has tons of nudity, it’s one of the most un-erotic films I have ever seen. The sex scene between Berkley and MacLachlan in the pool is so bad, it’s almost scary. The dialogue is horrible. It’s as if the writer (Joe Eszterhas) thought the opinions and plot of this film won’t matter because everyone will be staring at the nude girls. - See more at: …

Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, get ready for a film that took home 7 Razzie awards including Worst Film and Worst Director. It' also a movie that almost ruined everybody's career. So put your arms together for the wickedly crappy and the one and only Showgirls. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡

What shocks me is when good and decent directors making the absolutely horrifically bad movie, and this has happen before but it always keeps …
