Showgirls... is one of those delirious, hilarious botches that could be taught in film schools as a How Not To.

Berkley's acting debut is a joy, if you can call it acting: she jumps up and down a lot to indicate excitement.

One thing I'll say for Showgirls, it's educational. But sadly, it isn't much else.

rotten:
The script -- a generic blend mixing the soap of All About Eve with the suds of Valley of the Dolls -- is replete with the clunkiest dialogue this side of Peyton Place.

rotten:
A film of thunderous oafishness that gives adult subject matter the kind of bad name it does not need or deserve.
