Bought at the thrift shop for a small price. It turned out not to be what I hoped. The story didn't captivate me from the start. Sometimes I get more interested when I watch a movie longer, but with this one my interest waned more and more. It took me a long time to finish it. It took me some effort. Bland humor, a bland story and characters that didn't touch me. I think the acting is decent. The only thing I like is the 80's atmosphere, but that doesn't make up for much. So a low score. 1,5*

A bit too bland. The first part may still attract some attention, but after that it goes downhill.
Madonna is nothing and the mess is still being saved, what can be saved, by Rosanna Arquette.

Don't like this 80s classic, but it remains an iconic work, in which the fashion phenomena and emancipation from the decade pass by. This was a serious box office success with Madonna whose popularity was soaring at the time. Despite her unimpressive acting career, the role of romper Susan is the one that everyone will remember from her. Arquette and Quinn usually didn't appeal to me in their overly brave performances, but the one that did make me laugh was Gary, Roberta's husband... underrated role. This crazy New York story about a identity switch definitely left a mark in the mid-eighties.
