The movie is so bad, it drills past "stupid," through "embarrassing," and ends up surfacing somewhere around "awesome." Nudity, chimps, nudity, and Vegas—what more could you ask for in a movie? Tossing its original, and very earnest, DVD release aside, the "V.I.P." box-set edition of Showgirls proves that the studio has finally resigned itself to the fact that it made a comedy classic. Savor every laugh-out-loud moment, from Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon discussing dog food to Robert Davi extolling the virtues of a job where "you don't have anybody come on you." The extras are chock-full of fun stuff that's tongue-in-cheek and dollars-in-panties. There's a "Pin the Pasties on the Showgirl" game featuring a poster of Berkley, playing cards, shot glasses, even a lap dance tutorial hosted by the girls of legendary strip club Scores! There's more…but we're spent.
