Girls Just Want to Have Fun

Pros: Fun, fun, and more fun...

Cons: What DID happen to Lee Montgomery?

The Bottom Line: Sarah Jessica at her cutest, Helen Hunt before she annoyed me, Shannen Doherty before she was b*tchy, plus dancing! Yeah.

Review: Once upon a time, in a land called the 1980s, there were several movies made with a few things in common:

1- Girl with strict dad falls for “rebel” guy
2- Girl has to break the rules and lie to dad to see said guy
3- Relationship...

Pros: A baby sitting in a pizza! And other whacky 80's antics.

Cons: painfully poignant moments for any military brat, Pedophiliac overtones

Review: From the director of Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow...


As our time machine lands in 1985 we are introduced to Sarah, the dancing military brat, as she stands in front of her Catholic school-mates awkwardly introducing...

Pros: It's got everything -- great music, great cast, funny and quotable dialogue, and brings back so many 80s memories

Cons: well, it won't be winning any awards...hehe...smile and say CHEESE! :-D

Review: I first saw Girls Just Want To Have Fun at age 12, sleeping over a friend's house. I immediately fell in love with this movie, got a copy of it for myself, and have seen it over 300 times in the past 9 years!
There's so much that draws me to this...

Pros: great stars

Cons: bad story, but who cares

Review: In typical 80's movie fashion, a geeky, awkward, yet truly beautiful, teenager overcomes her fears and finds the guy of her dreams. Plus, it's so much fun to see how Helen Hunt, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Shannen Doherty looked in 1985.

I've...

Pros: a Great Cast

Cons: It has very few if any

Review: I saw this movie after renting it from my local video store. The reason I rented it was because it looked good. And it was. I use to rent it every time I would rent a movie until I bought a copy. The movie has great songs and a great cast.

...

Pros: Funny, spunky, great cast

Cons: Formulaic

Review: I love this movie! It's got dancing. It's got several stars in "before they were famous" type roles. It's got a cute leading man. It's got conflict. And it's got an incredible 80s soundtrack. Really, what more could you want?

...

Pros: HILARIOUS

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Watch this movie. It will make you laugh. A lot.

Review: Wow, this is such a great movie...my friends made me watch it, and now it is one of my all time favorites, and I've only seen it once! It makes me wish I could go back to live in the 80's. The best part is when they climb out of a bus and over people's...

Pros: excellent cast; charming story; superb 1980s' dancing; music; humor

Cons: predictable, feel-good ending

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is somewhere dancing in Chicago at the end of summer...

Review: I love this 1985 teen movie. Girls Just Want To Have Fun is filmed in glorious Chicago, directed by Alan Metter and written by Amy Spies, and it’s one of the movies I turn to if I’m feeling frustrated or having a bad day. Seeing Sarah ...

Pros: 80s flashbacks, recognize well known stars

Cons: cheesy as hell :)

Review: And yet another 80s teen movie! Granted it's cheesy but I liked and even my parents enjoyed it! My dad kept saying that's the girl from Mad About You. Not is Helen Hunt in it(she hasn't changed that much) but a young Sarah Jessica Parker and and very...

Pros: helen hunt

Cons: lamest lines

Review: Comedy Central has been showing the heck out of this film recently. Probably because Sarah Jessica Parker, who stars in this film, is riding high with HBO's "Sex and the City". Now if only Comedy Central would show the S.J.P.'s tv series...
