Showgirls Redux

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2005)

Think of this as an unofficial & toned down PG-13 remake of Showgirls if you will.There is a trace of wit & satire found here,believe it or not,just as there was located in that infamous United Artists release.Melody Perkins sparks matters up at the end with a brief bit,one of the best in the film.She steals the show here,just as she did nonstop in her immortal role on Power Rangers in Space.Of Ms. Perkins film credits so far,I shall give Coyote Ugly the edge,second only to Power Rangers in Space of course.I think the film was unfairly panned at the time of release,it's quite enjoyable as a matter of fact,spellbinding escapist fun.Enjoyed the new Director's Cut as well.My Uncle William Hagood owns & operates Atlanta's high class Cheetah Lounge,& I couldn't help but be reminded of it throughout the film.
