One of my all time favorites.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Neutral review:I have watched this movie in the summer and quite frankly I really liked it,not because Madonna played the main role in the story, but because it was a fun movie with good turn around and with good energy. I could really feel Madonna's spirit throughout the movie, a bit like in Desperately seeking Susan.Now when we watch the movie furthermore, paying attention to little details, one can appreciate the subtle references, Elvis Presley'poster at the beginning or Madonna's soundtrack in the middle of the movie, it really adds to the experience.I thought the movie was also really positive, it wasn't depressing or too dark. One could argue that she was a Popstar at the time and so she was already loved by many people, however, she is clearly adding hertouch the "spirit" of the movie.So a rate of ten for this movie, sir!

This movie is a good bit of fun, better than the critics and the IMDb rating would lead you to believe. To be fair, I should note that I am a huge fan of Madonna (as most fans of this movie tend to be), so that may very well be a factor in your enjoyment of the movie.Madonna plays Nikki Finn, a squeaky-voiced girl with hair like Jean Harlow and lips as red as a fire truck. Having been framed for the murder of her boyfriend and after spending four years in the slammer, she's determined to prove her innocence upon her release from prison, and enlists the help of Loudon Trott, a lawyer who was merely supposed to drive her to the bus station, but ends up getting caught in Nikki's tornado of trouble.Madonna's performance is mostly enjoyable in this film, even if their are some noticeable cracks in her metaphorical armor of acting. Griffin Dunne does a great job playing the straight man, saying many funny and quotable things when being driven to the brink of madness by Nikki's actions. There are a few lines and over the top jokes I can't help but roll my eyes at, and the film never bothers to pay off a certain joke that is set up on three occasions.My theory is that most people just went into this film with a bad attitude, already convinced it would be terrible because of Madonna's previous film, Shanghai Surprise (which is a completely abysmal movie in every way). So if you go into this film with an open mind and no more expectations than a good time, you may very well enjoy it.

Madonna, Griffin Dunne, Haviland Morris, John McMartin and John Mills star in this 1987 comedy. This begins in a New York prison where we meet convict, Nikki Finn (Madonna) who is being released after serving 4 years for murder. Soon, an up-town lawyer, Louden Trott (Dunne) is sent by his boss & soon to be father-in-law, Simon Worthington (McMartin) to pick her up and take her to the bus station where she will go home to Philadelphia. He soon finds himself falling for Nikki while trying to help her prove her innocence and learns that Simon is behind her set up. Mills plays wealthy animal collector, Montgomery Bell whom Louden delivers a cat, Murray to. I've always liked this film, Madonna and Griffin have good chemistry and I like the soundtrack. I recommend this good 80's comedy.

This has to be one of the, if not the worst movies I have ever seen. After watching this piece of sh*t I felt as though I should write to Madonna and demand compensation for my time, but now I feel that I should write Madonna and demand a great 80s album (considering she can't record a good album to save her life anymore) in return for this disaster. On to the movie itself, which can be summed up like this:It consists Madonna jumping around acting like a spoiled teenager who lost her way. She is trying to impress this absolute douche of an actor who plays "the lawyer' in the movie. But, the best was the ending. I was staring with my jaw on the ground into the television as the credits rolled by thinking to my self, "That's it? That's the ending? What a piece of sh*t!". If Madonna wasn't a pop icon at the time of this film, this movie would have single handedly destroyed her career. And the funniest thing of the whole situation was that I just watched the damn movie to see where they placed the song "Who's That Girl". Well, guess where they placed it?...................................at the end!
