User Reviews

Brilliant pastiche of American Society’s desire to consume nudity regardless of its sex appeal.

A wonderfully sleazy parody of the entertainment industry with a surprisingly feminist viewpoint. 8/10

A nightmarish, nonsensical, and ultimately transcendent trip through a stilted Sin City. It has no right to be so horribly wonderful.

So bad it's good! Paul Verhoeven knew what he created — a total camp, roadshow theatrical release, slapped with a NC-17 rating.

It’s a bit long but I don’t care. It’s so bad it’s good.

Soft core porn with a message. Seen it so long ago, I can barely remember most of it.

There is no script really, just shows a chapter in this girl's life, but its very well filmed, entertaining without being misogynists.

I couldn't sympathize with Nomi in almost NY part of the movie. It is great if you're a teen with no access to boob pics. Shallow AF.

Good plot, OK acting and great lap dance scene lol

Michelle Sharpe

Is this movie good? God NO! Is it totally rewatchable and entertaining by how bad it is? Oh my god yes!
