The widely ridiculed NC17-rated flesh opus Showgirls that was chased from our local cinema by religious fundamentalists (so, just don't go see it!) really isn't all that bad, and if you're in the mood for some steamy scenes...here you go. It tells the story of young Nomi Malone (Berkley) out to seek her fortune in Las Vegas. But her dreams of showgirl stardom are momentarily sidelined as she pays the bills by lapdancing in an off-the-strip nudie bar. Eventually, Nomi has her shot at a part in the hottest show on the strip and goes about getting it by going after the hotel's entertainment director (MacLachlan) as well as his girlfriend (Gershon)—the star of the show. Whatever it takes. (Gary Reber)
