Girls Just Want to Have Fun

This is one of my all-time favorite 80's movies! There are a lot of funny one liners, great dancing and a really good soundtrack! I like this version of the Girls Just wanna have fun song than Cyndi Lauper's original. My favorite scene is when Janey, Lynne, and Maggie get even with Natalie:)

Just watched this again for the first time since the 80's & can't believe I forgot how good this was!! Something else that people get confused about is the actual big hair!! This movie came out in 85 and NO big hair is in this!! The big hair didn't come until the late 80's & went into the early 90's to 95!! This movie shows how much fun the 80's were!! How great a time it was!! Nothing like this day and age!! A must watch film!!!

Again I watched this movie a long time ago when i was just thinking about starting dance classes. As with all movies with a heavy soundtrack from the 80's - it has aged. But I still love it and watch it at least once a year with my best friend, if not only just to remind us of high school. It was great watching Sarah, Helen and (to a lesser degree) Shannon's careers move on from here. It was a pity that Lee's career never surfaced again (unless we take into account "Models Inc". If you have ever been an aspiring dancer, someone in their 30's reminiscing about the 80's or just someone that loves a stereotypical Hollywood climax - you will love this too.

I have a soft spot for cheesy 80's comedies, and this is DEFINITELY near the top of my list! With awesome music, 80's-clever dialogue, and the amazing Sarah Jessica Parker, it just can't be beat. Also starring a young and oh-too-cute Shannen Doherty, this movie is what I watch when I need a quick pick-me-up. It's fabulous!

This is the perfect movie for a slumber party or for just hanging out with your friends after school or on a Friday night. It's lots of fun, lots of laughs and you're guaranteed to be humming at least one tune from the movie when it's over. Helen Hunt is extremely young in this movie, and really funny. If you're looking for a romantic movie or a comedy or both, you've gotta see this! I'm 17 and my friends and I love watching this movie whenever we can.

I remember seeing this film in the cinemas when I was 10 years old. At the end of the film all the audience clapped and cheered, I had never seen that phenomenon before and have not experienced it since. The film may be slightly predictable, but it is a must see for any pre-teen or teenage girl. Before my after school dance lessons me and my friends would always watch this film to put us in a dancing mood. Just like Top Gun encouraged people to be pilots, Girls Just Want to have Fun makes you want to dance, or be a dancer. Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt are terrific in their roles, a sign of things to come perhaps? While lee Montgomery was ever so cute!. I have to say though my favorite scene(s) are the "I Can Fly" routine, the audition process and the dance off at the end. In summary this film may be lightweight but it sure is a lot of fun-even almost 15 years later.

Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) is new at her Catholic girls school. She's happy to be in Chicago near her favorite show Dance TV. She's a good girl struggling under her controlling Army father. She is befriended by worldly Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt) who shares her love of Dance TV. The girls, ruthless little rich girl Natalie Sands, Jeff Malene with his comedic friend Drew (Jonathan Silverman) and little sister Maggie Malene (Shannen Doherty), and many others audition for the show. This is so very cheesy. One can have a great grilled cheese sandwich party with this movie. It has no reality. It tries to be a light fun affair. Cyndi Lauper does have a cameo. It's a silly teen movie with a few familiar faces when they were younger. It has some fun value in the right mindset.
