VHS Movie Reviews of Desperately Seeking Susan [VHS]

Movie Review: best madonna movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

this is definately my all-time favorite madonna movie. i just love 80s movies and this is one of them. i've seen this movie many times. i love the plot and that fact that it's taken place in nyc. this is one of the few movies that madonna shows some good acting skills. i think she can only display good acting skills if she portrays a character that is similar to herself. i also love the outfits that she wore. the bathroom scene of her changing and using the hand dryer to dry her hair is epic. the movie was just so incredibly funny and romantic at the same time. this movie is definately for all 80s lovers and madonna's fans alike.

Summary of Desperately Seeking Susan [VHS]

This likeable, feminist screwball comedy about several incidents of mistaken identity is remembered more as the film that made Madonna a movie star. She's flip, hip, and energetic as Susan, the wild tramp with whom bored, suburban New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) becomes obsessed after reading of her sexual conquests in the personal ads. Of course, since Madonna essentially played herself, the role's hardly a stretch. Director Susan Seidelmen presents a series of zany incidents too complicated to recount, but the result is that Roberta swaps lifestyles with her fixation to explore New Wave culture on New York's Lower East Side. It's territory Seidelmen knew well as her more offbeat, indie debut, Smithereens, reveled in the same setting. But where Smithereens took a more edgy approach to its characters, Susan is a fairy tale romantic comedy, and eventually becomes as conventional as the suburban characters it mocks by settling conflicts with predictable Hollywood formulae. Still, there's much to be enjoyed. The film's at its funniest when juxtaposing New York hip and New Jersey suburbia, like when Arquette's straight, suit-and-tie husband dances with Madonna in a punk club. The performances, too, are engaging, especially Arquette and Aidan Quinn, playing a romantic film projectionist who becomes her grubby Prince Charming. --Dave McCoy
