Average Rating: 
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 ... 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 film
Dancing at the Blue Iguana is a film whose story was developed during a five month improvisational workshop run by director Michael Radford.

Rating:  - Sandra Oh, Jennifer Tilly
I'll be honest, any movie where I get to see Sandra Oh and one of the Tilly sisters nekkid is going to get 6 stars from me.
But it actually is a pretty good movie, though it is a little predictable. I would say it is fairly realistic (having dated a couple of strippers), except for the total lack of any lesbianism. But maybe thats just in the bay area.
On the plus side, this is one of the better Jennifer Tilly movies. That girl needs to get a better manager!
