ThiefHott Too much of everything
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
brandoandme My sister was supposed to be in this. They cut her scene. They should have left it all on the cutting room floor. Nothing to see here. No substance. No class. I was embarrassed to watch it.Terribly demeaning to women. Couldn't even watch it through. Watch ANYTHING else. Anything else!
tdrish The plot is pretty simple: She needs cash, and she needs it fast. What better way to make a quick buck by being a stripper. Put all morals to the side, they don't exist in Striptease. She just wants her child back, this makes it right, right? What doesn't make it right, is the fact that this bore fest clocks in at almost 2 hours, and about an hour and a half of it is nothing but filler. If it's not filler, it's literally nothing of NOTHING. ( By the way, there is a scene where her young daughter catches her stripping...not sure what to make of it, to this day. She does compliment her, though.) Striptease is just a little better then the horrible showdown of Showgirls, one year this films senior. Burt Reynolds is in this, too...yeah, you know, you have to bill him from time to time, you can't have him just drop off the map completely. Boring, but can be touching and uplifting from time to time, the film does have soul...you can barely see it, but if not, you can feel it. Somewhat. 3 out of 10 stars. ( Just a reminder, if you want to see Demi naked, this isn't your movie, she bares it all in The Seventh Sign. You perverts!
Lars Lendale Striptease is even worse than Showgirls. The stripping is awful, it is apparently heavily erotic - I didn't see anything erotic, the dancing is laughable, this has to be the most overrated erotic movie of all time. There is nothing, not a single relevant, serious, well choreographed erotic dance clip or sex scene. The story was turned into a very shallow script and the only thing that the directors cared about, was showing Demi Moore in a thong. Looking back, this is where Demi's career ended. This movie was so bad it evicted Demi from the movie industry that disabled her any opportunity for a serious role. Demi Moore will be remembered forever in Striptease, the woman who showed a few bits of her butt in embarrassing fashion. There's no substance, no intrigue, no real insight, no drama, if they wanted to do a sexually orientated movie, then they should have waived the rights to Hustler to make a porno movie. Who ever played in this movie never recovered from it in the aftermath. Even for $15M, it's not worth it. Oh and the viewer also wastes 2hrs of his time.
bh_tafe3 It was with some surprise a few months ago that I read a list of worst movies ever made and this one was mentioned. This was surprising for a couple of reasons: the first one being that I'd forgotten the film existed, the second being that I struggled to remember any details from it that would lead to me to feel strongly enough about it to say it was the worst movie I've seen.And so, for some reason, I opted to watch this again. As I suspected, it was a waste of my time that achieved nothing of any value and took the cumulative total of minutes this film took away from me that I will never ever get back to 234. I can only assume director Andrew Bergman met Satan at an abandoned fork of a road in the deep south for this one to bring in $113 million world wide.Striptease is not good, not at all. The performances are bizarre, the script is not funny or sexy and even the soundtrack just doesn't fit. Demi Moore seems to have got her money's worth on highly publicized breast implants and is in fine physical condition, but still somehow unwatchable. Having said that though, this is no trainwreck. The actors all know what they're doing. The scenes are all strung together in a coherent narrative. This may not be any good, but it isn't incompetent either, and that makes things even worse.At the end of the day, unless you have a Demi Moore fetish, you will remember nothing about this movie. You'll forget that Burt Reynolds or Robert Patrick are in it. You'll forget that Moore's character had a child. In time you will forget the film exists. It's simply not bad enough to be entertaining or memorable, or worthy of any thought, positive or negative. And that is the film's biggest crime. Ultimately, Striptease is a giant black hole of nothing.
