A beautifully downbeat view of the dancers and their coworkers' as they spiral lower and lower.

Always a more interesting acting exercise than compelling drama.

Mostly this is a whole lot of chain-smoking and griping about men. You'd be better off renting Demi Moore's Striptease.

The result is a very believable strip club, inhabited by cardboard-thin protagonists who come across as caricatures more than actual people.

Too often the uneven script is either hopelessly strained or tediously lackadaisical.

After a full hour of Iguana I was watching the DVD counter tick by in slow motion.

A predictable exercise in fake tawdriness and half-nude psychodrama.

The film's a mess, albeit a fascinating one.

More than anything, Dancing at the Blue Iguana is an acting showcase that allows its stars to strut their emotional range.

Even if Dancing at the Blue Iguana can't rise to the level of the performances of Hannah, Oh and others, it is nonetheless engaging, not without humor and an aura of authenticity.

This, I suppose, is what happens when a director allows his actors to put together a movie -- it's sort of like letting the inmates run the asylum.

There's a lot of tepid exotic dancing as the girls' writhe and slither around the pole.
