How did she not win an Emmy for this? Total oversight.

You can’t ignore this movie’s true life lesson: “There's always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you."

We learned that in All About Eve with a better script and cast.

The only worse movie you could be watching is “Coyote Ugly”. It’s “Showgirls” without the nudity.

If you like the director, Basic Instinct would make a great double feature...

My favorite review of this movie: couldn’t tell if it was mediocre trash art or appalling pornography. 🎯

I saw this film at a WGA screening when it first came out. One of the best, most memorable movie-going experiences of my life. A theater full of writers enthusiastically laughing their butts off. Enjoy!

You should watch the version where someone performed a re-edit of the whole movie using only music from David Lynch films
