Erin Grant (Demi Moore) must confront the naked truth; to take on the system, she must first take it off. Bounced from her job, she needs money if she's to have any chance of winning back custody of her child. The pulsating gentleman's club world of exotic dream-girls and whooping patrons is skewered. Erin strips to conquer, then faces unintended consequences when a horny hound dog of a congressman (Reynodls) fixates on her. Cash, blackmail, murder – the legislator has a lot of shady tools at his fingertips, but against Erin he's overmatched. She may strip for a living. Yet it's the politician and his cronies who end up exposed. (Warner Bros. UK)

If I hadn't read all those sarcastic comments before watching the film, it probably would have been a candidate for a Boo! rating. But even so, the scriptwriting and directorial cluelessness really caught me off guard. The producers must have been struck blind... I could forgive the complete lack of humor and tension, but the fact that it's possible to make such an unsexy story set in a strip club is, in a way, fascinating. Demi Moore may not be great, but she delivers her standard performance, which can't be said for all the actors involved. Overall impression: 20%.
