Editorial Review: Description: At the Blue Iguana, in the heart of LA's San Fernando Valley, the lives of five strip club dancers converge over the course of one week. Angel (Daryl Hannah), attempts to qualify as a foster mother; Jasmine (Sandra Oh), is a clandestine poet who finds love at a coffee house reading; Jo (Jennifer Tilly), faces an unplanned pregnancy; Stormy (Sheila Kelley), confronts her bewildering past and Jesse (Charlotte Ayanna) gets a tough introduction to life in LA. This glimpse into the oft-misunderstood world of the strip club bares each girl inside and out both onstage and off, providing an insight to the story behind the dance. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An unforgettable movieI have to say this movie is one of my favorite movies. The sense of loneleiness and longing, and the realness this movies portrays in the lives of five strippers, has made this movie one of the best, especially dealing with sensitive topics such as stripping and stereotyping and cliches. The acting and character portrayals were all phenomenal, and the soundtrack alone was awesome. You felt you knew these five women, and that you could perhaps be their friend. You are sucked into the world of stripping ... Read More Rating:  - Horrid and pointless !This is one of the worst films I've ever seen ! Here are just a few of my criticisms: 3 of the actresses (Hannah, Oh, and Kelley) are way too old to be strippers. Yes they look great for their ages, but they wouldn't cut it in a strip club with younger competition. Strippers aren't all a mess, and yet the ones at this club are. Very unrealistic. No men would go to a strip club where the women kept their bottoms on. There is no point to this movie other ... Read More Rating: - Ghastly...Horrible in every respect. Acting, direction, cinematography, writing, you name it you got it. This is now the age of losers get a chance at fame, the bigger the loser the better. Rating:  - A powerful and gritty filmDancing at the Blue Iguana is a film whose story was developed during a five month improvisational workshop run by director Michael Radford. The story centers around the Blue Iguana, your average seedy strip club, this one located in a faceless semi industrial area of the San Fernando valley part of LA. Each of the lead actors developed their own character and storyline based on their own research. There have been a couple of pathetic attempts by Hollywood to make a film about the world of ... Read More Rating: - Smoke yourself thin Prior to watching this, I expected something on par with "Striptease" or "Showgirls," which are films about stripping that also attempt to legitimize their titillation by tossing in dramatic subplots. Even with earnest intentions, films of this sort usually end up being clichéd and disappointing. Adding to my trepidation was the fact I had never heard of this film, which was released in 2000, prior to 2006. I finally took a chance on it and gladly admit that it really drew me in and convinced me to care about ... Read More |
