Who remembers Demi Moore? She was female lead in one of the
most successful movies of 1990 before flushing her career down the toilet by starring in this botched adaptation of a satirical novel about a single mother working as a stripper who becomes
involved in a murder case when a corrupt politician takes an interest in her.
I
actually have no idea what genre this film is aiming for. I'm guessing it's a comedy because it's so damn hilarious, albeit unintentionally due to the terrible script and atrocious acting. Alas,
it's just another skinflick from the mid 90's with about as much credibility as a softcore film.
Demi Moore's acting skills are as atrociously unrealistic as
her tits (or Burt Reynolds wig). As for the stripteases... Dancing to Annie Lennox songs just isn't sexy, no matter how curvaceous the surgically-enhanced body. Nice tits, shit
film.
2/10
