Sure, it's over-the-top, cheesy, over-acted, loud, and silly, but it is fun! Come on, there's Gina Gershon, who had us in Bound. She looks like she wants to bind Nomi the moment she sees her.
It also has Detective Irene Daniels (Gina Ravera) from "The Closer." as the friend of Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley), who is trying to get her in the dancing business. The real guy trying to help her is James (Glenn Plummer), but first he has to get her over her over-acted attitude.
Of course, she is doing lap dances in the meantime. The dance she does for Zack (Kyle MacLachlan) for Cristal (Gerson) was one of those over-the-top moments. But it was nothing compared to the one in the pool.
She passes everyone on her way to the top, some times not nicely. Then she find the real price of stardom. She was no willing to pay it.
And, it's got monkeys! Sure, it objectifies women; just as reality shows, commercials, and most everything else these days.
