Before Gigli, there was Showgirls. While both movies took their fair share of criticism, MGM is proving the old adage of taking lemons and making lemonade.
On July 27th, Showgirls will get another chance when the VIP Edition debuts on DVD. Not only will the film enjoy a new digital transfer and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, but the extra features will play up the cheese factor of the film.
Showgirls expert David Schmader will defend the film as the greatest movie ever made on a commentary track. The kit will also include a deck of Showgirls playing cards, two shot glasses and a "pin the pasties on the showgirl" game.
