Product: Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985)
Rating: 5.0
Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt - in a surprisingly fun movie!
If you're used to Sarah Jessica Parker in her more recent incarnation, wife of Matthew Broderick, mother to an adorable son and former star of Sex in the City as well as a designer of a new clothing line (Bitten), then you should see her earlier in her career.All the charm and style is still there (okay, the style isn't quite the same as in Sex and the City) but her personality shines through, as does that of Helen Hunt. They work surprisingly well together and,happily, the movie is an enjoyable romp with lots of dancing (and some very cute guys).The focus of the movie is the chance to be a dancer on a dance show. No, this isn't deep, intellectual stuff but it IS the kind of film teens relate to and THIS adult found it fun to watch, too. Plenty of appeal for everyone!
