"Dancing at the Blue Iguana" offers a rare glimpse into the often misunderstood world of the strip club, which is much more than the sum of its voyeuristic offerings. The Blue Iguana, in the heart of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, is a club where the glamour is tinged with decay, a crossroads where lives intersect and personas are donned and shed with equal abandon.

Matthew Turner Empire Magazine 03/25/2024
2/5
An interesting failure. It's well-acted by an extremely game cast, but sadly suffers from a lack of direction and a decent screenplay. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri Citysearch 10/19/2001
The result is a very believable strip club, inhabited by cardboard-thin protagonists who come across as caricatures more than actual people. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 10/19/2001
3.5/5
More than anything, Dancing at the Blue Iguana is an acting showcase that allows its stars to strut their emotional range. Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily 10/09/2005

04/18/2020 I love this movie was my favorite movie of the 90's it has 3 top actress's Hannah Tilly an one of the most highly accredited Asian actress's out their so totally worth the hour plus it's a great mood starter always got me in the mood for romance See more 05/11/2013 Will always be a favorite of mine. See more 10/07/2012 I am not giving it a 4 or 5 because I wasnt satisfied with the information I got on each character. I wanted to know more about their background, I found them all to be very intriguing and very lost but I would have liked to have known more. And Daryl Hana filmwas freaking INCREDIBLE in this film. I think it was the best performance in her career. It was a very good movie, people who didnt like it are just being judgemental of the content. See more 09/19/2012 movie about a stripper named angel and im a stripper named angel so thats why i watched it See more 07/30/2012 Bored. This is not a strong women movie. I hit the fast forward for part of this one. See more 04/10/2012 nice erotic improv film about the lives of strippers on and off the stage and detailed accounts of how they deal with f their inner demons. See more Read all reviews
