I was entertained and that's what mattered to me the most in this cheesy flick containing massive amounts of beautiful boobs. And what great boobs they were, ranging from Elizabeth Berkley to Gina Gershon, with nipples extending into the night via buckets of ice, to peak our interest even more. I truly wasn't expecting it, and yes I thought there would be a nice bit of nudity here and there, but I wasn't expecting such lovely women displaying nearly all their intimacy so much of the time.
This, however, doesn't make for a good film per se, and there were far too many doubtful moments to make this a classic, such as the first girl that Nomi meets on her arrival in Vegas turning out to be her best friend through thick and thin, which was all too convenient like so many scenes in the film, with both of them doubling up in a rickety trailer when Nomi is clearly earning very respectable money and dating Ferrari-driving millionaires, plus some dubious casting decisions in Kyle MacLachlan, Glenn Plummer and Robert Davi, in fact, nearly all of the men were dreadful (were they supposed to be?), plus the famously wooden acting of Elizabeth Berkley, bless her beautiful soul. And lest not forget the super stunningly gorgeous Gina Gershon who had me erecting out of my chair, good God!
And I can only guess that this film received such shamelessly horrible reviews in its day because of the way we took ourselves so seriously back then, as though each new film was supposed to mean something significant and hit new highs, instead of being what this film actually is, a giant middle finger to our shallow society - we're not here to make a statement - but here to have fun and show off some beautiful tits while emphasizing how banal and basically obvious the male species can be, and often is.
I enjoyed it, so there.
