Yet another case of the star's salary being much more interesting, and exuberantly vulgar, than anything the screen reveals.

Striptease
Overview
Bounced from her job, Erin Grant needs money if she's to have any chance of winning back custody of her child. But, eventually, she must confront the naked truth: to take on the system, she'll have to take it all off. Erin strips to conquer, but she faces unintended circumstances when a hound dog of a Congressman zeroes in on her and sharpens the shady tools at his fingertips, including blackmail and murder.

The Striptease script... is at a loss for any kind of drama between Moore's dances. Not for a second do we care about her as a mother, wife or working woman.
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
The film's premise is thinner than the heroine's G-string.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

Bergman, who made The Freshman and Honeymoon in Vegas, provides quotable one-liners for everyone (especially Rhames), and a bevy of strippers lend colorful albeit stereotypically ditzy support.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

Men will doubtless be lured to Striptease by Moore's beautifully sculpted body. But it's the heart she puts into Erin that gives this more erratic than erotic picture the centering presence it needs.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
