It Doesn't Suck: Showgirls

A new edition of the first book in the acclaimed Pop Classics series “The Worst. Movie. Ever.” is a masterpiece. Seriously. Enough time has passed since “Showgirls” flopped spectacularly that it's time for a good hard look back at the sequined spectacle. A salvage operation on a very public, very expensive train wreck, “It Doesn't Suck” argues that” Showgirls” is much smarter and deeper than it is given credit for. In an accessible and entertaining voice, the book encourages a shift in critical perspective on Paul Verhoeven's “Showgirls”, analyzing the film, its reception, and rehabilitation. This in-depth study of a much-reviled movie is a must-read for lovers and haters of the 1995 Razzie winner for Worst Picture.
