	Media	Author	Review
		Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"A sexless seriocomedy that would be a bust without the support of Burt Reynolds and Ving Rhames. (...) The film's premise is thinner than the heroine's G-string."
		Mark Caro Chicago Tribune	"It should be a funny movie (...) But at its center is a megastar who takes her role as a stripper awfully seriously"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"'Showgirls' was funnier than 'Striptease.' While 'Showgirls' was funny the whole way through, 'Striptease' has long, dreary stretches, where you're forced to watch Demi Moore undressing."
		Tom Charity Time Out	"The kind of comedy thriller which cancels itself out, this is pitched too close to caricature to engender suspense"
		Susan Wloszczyna USA Today	"Moore's body is in better shape than her acting."
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Striptease can’t decide whether to be sexy or safe or campy or cuddly. So it comes close to being nothing at all."
