✦ Synopsis

"Masterpiece" -- Through the looking glass -- Getting away with murder -- The Verhoeven touch -- "You got a name?" -- "Ain't anybody ever been nice to you?" -- "She can dance, can't she?" -- "Show me your tits" -- "If somebody gets in your way, step on 'em" -- "We just want to party, baby" -- "Goodbye, darlin'" -- "They don't want to fuck a penny" -- "It doesn't suck.";"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."--Publisher.
