 that "Little Bird" is going to leave you breathless! | ||||||
| Demi Moore came under intense public attention for those "pictures", little did they know she was going to star in a movie about going starkers...STRIPTEASE. STRIPTEASE is one of those "guilty pleasure" movies that have a certain campy charm, it's certainly more enjoyable that it's bastard-sister-film; SHOWGIRLS. Erin Grant (Demi Moore) loses the custody battle for her daughter when she is fired from her job. What's a girl to do? Go and shake her booty, what else?!! Down at the Eager Beaver Club, where the beer isn't the only thing on the menu, Erin finds a job prancing around to such innocuous tunes as "Little Bird" and "Money Can't Buy It". Soon, a mysterious murder and a hilarious excuse for a congressman - Dilbeck (Burt Reynolds in an inspired performance) prove more of a hindrance than a help as Erin decides to expose her lousy ex-husband as the drug-pushing, slack-jawed yokel that he really is, all the while spinning around a pole in a G-string. Sound exhausting? Nah! We're only getting started! Overall a pretty enjoyable caper. The DVD transfer is beautiful. | ||||||
 The sexy Demi maketh the film | ||||||
| This film is quite interesting, and actually not as bad as many people make out. There's the odd laugh here and there, Ving Rhames does his usual solid support and Burt Reynolds is enjoyably sleazy as a perverted congressman. What makes the movie is the beautiful and very sexy Moore, who may not be able to act very well, but boy is she hot. Seeing her strip is worth the price of the DVD alone, but beyond the gorgeous Demi there's an entertaining almost-satire to be had - but who needs that when you've got an (almost) naked Demi. It may be the cinematic equivalent of a night out at a strip joint, but what a night out...put this in your collection just to see one of the sexiest women alive show just why she's so goddamn hot. You'll need to cool down after this one...five stars just for the lovely Demi. | ||||||
 NATURALLY BAD CONGRESSMAN WAS REPUBLICAN | ||||||
| "Strip Tease" was typical. In it, Burt Reynolds was depicted as so many Republican politicians are depicted: Stupid, immoral, greedy, corrupt...am I leaving anything out? STEVEN TRAVERS | ||||||
