I avoided this movie when it came out because the trailers for it looked awful. Women, or 'girls', in tight, skimpy clothing serving drinks to lecherous crowds in a bar. It sounded rather sexist and, well, plotless. Twenty years later, while waiting for another movie to come on, on TV, I finally had the chance to see some of it. And what I saw was pretty bad. It has the feel, in that 1980s and 1990s style, of parading scantily clad 'girls', and just adding a flimsy story and sexy soundtrack. What else do ya need, is the mentality. I guess the idea of a young person moving to New York City and being thrown in the deep end in a job is a good idea, but there are so many more intelligent, worthwhile avenues you could go down, using that plot, than go for the eye candy route. It comes across as a bit cheap. And the portayal of women is the poorer for it.
