The entertainment
industry has always used the titillation of strippers in movies to get bigger
box office receipts. Some movies pretend to be more than just titillation,
while others are more blunt about what they are doing.
This section of movie reviews is not to review the entire movie, but
to review the movie as it pertains to strip clubs, dancers and the industry.
Emphasis will be placed on scenes dealing with stripping and strip clubs.
The ratings or opinions given will be based on how well the movie deals with
these subject matters in a realistic and/or entertaining way.

Made
Starring Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn [DVD version]
A never-been second rate boxer is a driver for his bachelor party stripper
girlfriend. When's he's asked by his boss to travel to New York for a "job",
he takes his goof-ball friend with him, which leads to some mishaps.
An unglamorous peek into the lives of five dancers who work at one Valley
strip club. We see the lives of these dancers in and out of the strip club
in which they work, along with some of their co-workers and customers.

Independence Day
Starring Will Smith and Vivica A. Fox. [DVD version]
Let's face it. ID4 is not a great movie. However, although the actual strip
club scene is very short and uneventful, the Vivica Fox stripper character
is portrayed in a very unusually positive image by Hollywood
standards.
The movie itself is watchable, but unless you're a big fan of Love and want
to see her dancing on stage, the strip club scenes are a bust.
6/6/2000
Go
Starring Katie Holmes, and Sarah Polley. [DVD version]
Although the strip club scene is only a small part of the movie, it's hot
and mostly realistic. If you like Nikki Fritz, you'll probably enjoy
it.
5/8/2000
Striptease
Starring Demi Moore, Burt Reynolds, Armand Assante, Ving Rhames
and Robert Patrick. [Unrated International DVD version]
Since this movies is about a stripper, naturally, there are tons of stripping
scenes with Demi Moore and other characters. This one is hard to beat in
terms of pure time spent in and around strip clubs.
