'You Don't Nomi' is a documentary that takes its title from the name of Elizabeth Berkley's character in the notorious 90's flop 'Showgirls'. I hesitated in watching this, figuring I could get most of its information and insight off of YouTube videos, but there is something to be said for this doc. It is not a lazy hit piece, it was not made to mock. Rather its a fairly serious examination of the critical and cultural legacy of a film that has become a synonym for bad, but in actuality is a much more complex and interesting failure then it might at first appear. It made me want to watch 'Showgirls' again. ***
