In this crime comedy drama, devoted mother Demi Moore loses custody of her daughter to her lowlife, erstwhile husband Robert Patrick because she's unemployed. To earn money and get the child back, she finds work as a stripper in a Florida topless bar, becoming an object of lust for oily, corrupt politician Burt Reynolds, and finding herself involved in murder and blackmail. Andrew Bergman's direction makes it watchable, but his screenplay pulls its punches on the sleaze, and tear-jerking sentimentality and inadequate humour don't combine well with the drama. Moore does her best in a difficult role and Reynolds is entertainingly slimy - as he would be a year later in Boogie Nights. Moore's real-life daughter Rumer Willis plays her daughter.

Bounced from her job, Erin Grant needs money if she's to have any chance of winning back custody of her child. But, eventually, she must confront the naked truth: to take on the system, she'll have to take it all off. Erin strips to conquer, but she faces unintended circumstances when a hound dog of a Congressman zeroes in on her and sharpens the shady tools at his fingertips, including blackmail and murder.
