Oh What a Chick Flick

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2006)

I love Flashdance, for all its faults and cheesy lines and melodrama and nudie bar scenes and dancing and sexploitation! It is still emulated and relevant showing up in cartoons such as Shrek.
I will always remember fondly the curious feelings it gave me when I watched it as an 8 year old kid. Seeing all the dancing and decisions in the young women's lives of Alex and her friend. The nude bar scenes were my first exposure to sex. I had never seen naked women in a movie before! It was awesome and confusing at the same time! And my mom never censored it! And of course you feel sorry for poor Jeani. There's a real life porn actress/prostitute who has a similar story. You can see the path Jeani is going before Alex helps her.
I will always remember the barking of the sleazy nude bar owner every time I pass a strip joint: "Live nude beautiful girls!!!" LIve nude...nude live....beautiful...girls...
10 out of 10 I give it 2 boobs up!
