Striptease [Blu-ray]
To take on the system, she first must take it off. Demi Moore is a single mom who turns to stripping to acquire the money she needs for a custody suit involving her child. The pulsating, steamy world of gentlemens clubs and the strippers and patrons who inhabit it get skewered in this lively comedy/drama. Also starring Burt Reynolds. Uncut-version in scintillating hi-def.This horrible misfire from the usually reliable writer-director Andrew Bergman (The Freshman) has nothing funny, provocative, timely, or interesting to say (despite being based on a novel by Carl Hiaasen) once Demi Moore gets her clothes off. Moore plays a single, unemployed mom caught up in a custody battle who elects to make some money by stripping at a club. The charact

Surprisingly Good! Not so sexy, but really funny.,
So a friend and I snagged this movie for a guy’s night when the girls were out of town. We got it more as a joke than anything else. I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. Not because it was sexy but because it was funny. The main thing this flick has going for it is that it didn’t take itself seriously. Ving Rhames, who I always love, did a superb job playing a no BS bodyguard. Burt Reynolds was hilarious. And Demi? Well, she got naked. That’s about all I can say for her. The story was hugely predictable, and the acting was pretty bad, but this movie was really funny. There were some great one-liners. The best line of the movie was one of Ving’s: “Nico: What are you, nuts?! Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish.” Rent it with the guys, drink a few beers, have a few laughs. It’s not as bad as you might think.

|Very Sexy,
A fun comedy, I would thik made with a pretty low budget, but still worth seeing and if you like Demi Moore it is definetly worth buying it.
In the unrated version you will see some more nude scenes compared to the original.
It is definetly the sexiest movie for Demi Moore’s fans.

|Despite negative reviews, Striptease is a great movie,
Demi Moore was excellent in this film. She is not only a beautiful woman, not just body wise, but within her soul.
Demi plays a divorced woman, Erin Grant, who looses custody of her beloved daughter to a scumbag of an ex husband. (This is typical justice in the real world. I relate to this movie because it happened to me and I haven’t seen my daughter for 13 years.)
Anyway, she had a respectful job at the FBI and looses it because of her husband’s criminal activities. Then she looses her daughter because she doesn’t have a job.
So she becomes an exotic dancer to make the money needed to get her daughter back. It’s excellent money for her but she doesn’t really like what she’s doing. However, she performs with class and dignity, regardless of the stigmitism of “strippers.” Ving Rhames, who is the bouncer Shad, has a soft spot in his heart for Erin. Anyone calling her a “stripper” will find a drill gun spinning at their forehead. She is a “dancer.”
Burt Reynolds plays the corrupt, twisted Congressman who finds his “angel” (Erin) and persues her. There is legal snaffu’s, funny scenes, and Erin is witty and courages because she will not give up on her daughter. Her love for her daughter is deep and real.
Demi learned to dance like an exotic dancer for this film and after just having a baby at the time, she looks great.
This film you will either like it or not. If you’re looking for a lot of skin, T&A, this is not what you want. This film does have class. Demi’s brief nudity in the film just proves that she is a confident woman and a great actress.
