Product: Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985)
Rating: 5.0
FOXEY!!!!!!
Lets just start off here with the triple bill. Two hot foxes in their prime, Sarah Jessica Parker AND Helen Hunt. Oh yeah. Plus Shannon Daugherty, who may only be twelve in the movie, but she totally looks fourteen... even Jonathan Silverman accidentally makes a pass at her at one point.I despise most of the eighties dance movies, like Footloose (ugh! A town that can't dance, duh!) or DD. But this one has it all! The totally believable military dad (ok, thats a little sarcasm) the wicked realistic acting (hooo, more sarcasm) and great dialougue (yep, "he's uhhh! Just uhhh!") Actually I'm pretty sure that none of the stars in this movie actually know how to dance, but the top notch editing jobs between SJP and the male lead waving their arms about and the stunt dancers is seamless, so it feels like a for real "dancing in the streets" type vibe.I like the realistic take on the teen scene circa 1985, with the big spiky haired punks and the rich bitch teens. I also like the several blatant product placement spots by Pepsi, and of course the cyndi Lauper title track, along with a few other choice tunes, but really, I can't lie, I'm on board for these foxes... Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker. Go on and have your fun, doesn't bother me a bit! Five stars!
