This, I suppose, is what happens when a director allows his actors to put together a movie -- it's sort of like letting the inmates run the asylum.

A predictable exercise in fake tawdriness and half-nude psychodrama.
Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz

More than anything, Dancing at the Blue Iguana is an acting showcase that allows its stars to strut their emotional range.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Mostly this is a whole lot of chain-smoking and griping about men. You'd be better off renting Demi Moore's Striptease.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Even if Dancing at the Blue Iguana can't rise to the level of the performances of Hannah, Oh and others, it is nonetheless engaging, not without humor and an aura of authenticity.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
