... better than Showgirls * *But mister, please * *I'm afraid it falls a little bit short of Striptease.

Showgirlz 'n the Hood.

Feisty, funky, sympathetic without being condescending to the bad hand dealt many single mothers, and rudely funny to boot.

Film Journal International

A bit uneven but works a lot better as a serious drama than its individual ingredients would make it appear to be.
