Striptease (1996) HD ENG “ Erin Grant (Demi Moore)

Striptease is a 1996 American erotic black comedy film directed, co-produced and written by Andrew Bergman, and starring Demi Moore, Armand Assante, Ving Rhames, Robert Patrick and Burt Reynolds. Based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel of the same name, the film centers on an FBI secretary-turned-stripper who becomes involved in both a child-custody dispute and corrupt politics. Striptease was released theatrically on June 28, 1996, by Columbia Pictures. It was universally panned by critics, and has come to be evaluated as one of the worst movies ever made. It won several Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture. Although it underperformed at the North American box office, the film still managed to be a moderate financial success overseas, with worldwide gross of $113 million against its $50 million budget. Nevertheless, it was widely considered a failure mostly because of its under-performance domestically and failing to meet expectations. Moore was paid a then-unprecedented $12.5 million to star in the film,
