    Editorial Reviews

    The personal lives of five exotic dancers go under the microscope in this drama, the first American feature from director Michael Radford. Eddie (Robert Wisdom) is the manager of a strip club in suburban California known as the Blue Iguana, where he keeps an eye on the women who make their living dancing for his customers. Stormy (Sheila Kelley) is an attractive, thick-skinned woman who is getting old enough to realize her days as a dancer may be numbered. Jo (Jennifer Tilly) likes to think of herself as the Blue Iguana's star attraction, though her career may hit a detour now that she's learned she's pregnant. Angel (Daryl Hannah) is a sweet, but immature woman, who tries to deal with her fear of being unloved by adopting a child. Jasmine (Sandra Oh), an aspiring poet, tries not to get settled into a career as a stripper, while being encouraged in her writing by coffeehouse owner Dennis (Chris Hogan), who features spoken word performers. And Jesse (Charlotte Ayanna), the youngest of the performers, expresses her desperate need for approval in her desire to please the customers. Dancing at the Blue Iguana received its world premiere at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    July 31, 2002: The movie follows the lives of 5 stripper at the Blue Iguana club. This movie could have been a lot like the Joy Luck Club as we watch how each of these characters change through their experiences. Unfortunately, the only engaging story I found was about Jasmine (Sandra Oh) who tries to find love. Too much time was spend with Angel (Darryl Hannah) who is good-natured but so naive that when things don't work out for her you can't feel too sympathetic. I wanted to see the story of Jessie (Charlotte Ayanna) more developed. Had all the stories been as interesting as the Jasmine's, this could have been a pretty good film. Instead, it's a film that was only partly realized. I thought the acting was fine (particularly Oh and Ayanna). There is a lot of nudity in this movie.
