videorama-759-859391 I can't understand why Madonna cops so much flack as a bad actress. I really don't. She's really good here, and her zesty and enthusiastic performance makes the film worth watching, where only few other actresses, could of pulled off the role, but not as good as Madonna, so again, lets scratch that Razzie s..t out. Here, she's not your typical young girl, or typical anything. She's just been released from prison, after a four year stint, where she was set up. Assigned to drive her to a bus station, workaholic lawyer (Dunne, really good) encounters a kind of detour, or more correctly, derailment, where in the following hours, poor Dunne, is subject to one hell of a adventure, involving thieving, shootouts, chases, feigning heart attacks, and a very big cat (ha ha). The movie has a couple of amusing moments, involving marriage ceremonies, car stripping, prudish socialites, and Southern in hospitality, plus one butt ugly female warden, who's an arch enemy of Madonna's. We also have the fastest reaction to a tiger, you'll ever see. Even a Dirty Harry favorite and Jerry Seinfeld's mother, show up in this cute little film, or some would say time passer, where Madonna's talents are most of the reason to see it. She is so cute, and sexy loose here, in how she carries herself, bringing yet another interesting and vivacious character to the screen, better than the Norris's, Stallone's Arnie's, Seagal's, etc. Dunne held his own good too. The moral of the story here, regarding the right girl, has been used many times, so you know how this will pan out. Watch this film purely for Madonna, and see why she makes this film, a really good performance in a film that's not. Disappointing, if you regard the director here, who usually makes better films. A director I admire.

Dave from Ottawa Madonna's well-known fascination with Hollywood's golden era glamor (what about this woman is NOT well-known?) led her to seek out a vehicle that hearkened back to the old screwball comedies of the 30s. But while those movies featured charmingly ditzy upper crust types like Jean Arthur and Carole Lombard, this one is built around Madonna's repellent and vulgar 'comic' portrayal of a bottom-feeding street moll with an annoying accent (or more than one) and tacky wardrobe sense. Pia Zadora has more charm, talent and screen charisma than is displayed here by the Materialistic one. Griffin Dunne should get a medal for his attempts to hold the picture together on HIS charm and manages to anchor his scenes adequately even with his co-star running amok in her wild attempts to play a colorful role. A leopard also co-stars for no good reason other than it brings to mind Bringing Up Baby, something this movie otherwise fails utterly to do on its own. The weak script wanders aimlessly in search of situations where Madonna can attempt to be 'zany', but contains little memorable dialog and gives the principles little to do other than bicker with one another in unfunny fashion. Watching this movie reminded me of being stuck in a car with low class neighbors who fight in public. This is not even a so-bad-it's-funny movie, since if it were actually funny, even unintentionally it would have succeeded somewhat as a comedy. It doesn't. It's just irritating.

GreekSexSymbol 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!

Miranda345 I am really sad that that this film has got so much negative criticism. I think it is a nice little comedy and really funny. The humour in this film is kind of warm and innocent and I like it. I also like Madonna's character and I do not agree that she played herself. She has created a character and a sympathetic one. My favourite scenes were the fighting scene on top of the sinking car and where Madonna climbs over the fence in a fancy dress to claim her love. The humour in the film has a slightly syrrealistic touch and perhaps it is not everybody's cup of tea. But it's their problem, not of the film. I found this film wholesome and sunny. In fact, the day I first saw it I was incredibly sad for some reason and this film lit up my day. And Madonna can act. Just take off your glasses of negative thinking.
