SHOWGIRLS is a movie made up of scenes that could only exist in SHOWGIRLS. That alone makes it worthy of recognition, and that’s before you even factor in how director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas managed to depict Vegas in an unflinchingly brutal - yet still entertaining - way. So, of course, the Tomatometer deems this film rotten and now Alex and Julio have to come to its rescue. Elizabeth Berkley, Gina Gershon, and Kyle MacLachlan getting down and dirty for two hours? How could anyone hate this movie???
