Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
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!
adonis98-743-186503 A stripper and single mother gets dragged into a dangerous situation after a congressman takes a fancy to her. Striptease is not meant to be taken seriously i mean Burt's perfomance was over the top and it was meant to be like that. The comedic element was also made on purpose and unlike films like 50 Shades for instance this film has nostalgia and the 90's all over it and is better filmed and has a better sex appeal than most film people give it credit for. It's not the best film of the 90's and it's definitely not Demi Moore's best movie but it's not her worst one either. (A+)
sage411 The actual film is very silly and basically just a big paycheck for Demi and her daughters, Rumor Willis's early start to SA Guild membership. The 5 star from me is mostly for Annie Lenox tunes that Dermi grinds to are great. It is basically a part of the greatest hits disc from Annie Lenox. Demi is also in very great shape for this films. The story line is very silly but with just listening to the music.
videorama-759-859391 It's hard to know how to take Striptease. Should you take it, as a comedy or drama. Here you get little of each. Getting over that very raunchy, commercial, and flamboyant Verhoeven effort, Showgirls the year before, the strip show circuit, is thrown back in our faces again, where what we have here, instead, is a story, only this movie is less captivating, or enticing. Fighting for custody of her daughter, against her white trash alcoholic ex, (Patrick in one of his best performances) our hot Demi, such eye candy in black lingerie, goes back to what she does best, stripping, so she can earn enough to get herself a good lawyer and have permanent custody of her angel. This only scratches the surface of the story, involving murder, of an overweight, drooling customer, who tries to help Demi out of her pickle, bringing the attention of a good natured cop (Assante very good, but wasted here). After all the body, practically landed on Assante's doorstep. Of course the scene stealer is Burt, as a crooked congressman, who really has a kinky side to him, sporting different disguises when he frequents strips clubs. But we all have our kinks. His performance can be seen as terrible, or terribly great if you can grasp that concept. It's sad he got a Stinker award, whatever as this character is the furtherest from Burt, we've ever seen, as he's not Burt. Demi does really work the stage well though, like a pro, and we almost see all of Demi. She's As an actress here, though, she's done better, Disclosure, solid evidence of that. We too have a hot stripper actress from Showgirls, as well as other hotties. We have a really cute and funny, chimpanzee, could be the same one from Monkey Trouble, for all I know. Unfortunately Striptease, is a film, that just have that spark, or take off. But if you like nudity and comedy, hey, you could very well like this. Oh, also, if you're an Annie Lennox fan too.
