This has to be the most overrated movie of 1985.

Oddball fun.

Director Susan Seidelman guides her cast with a light, enthusiastic touch, never making more out of her frothy material than need be.

Works despite Madonna and not really because of her.

Offbeat Susan Seidelman comedy features funny Madonna and Arquette.
July 26, 2002
Still Madonna's only worthwhile film performance.

The film acquires a pleasant, syncopated rhythm as it bounces from one unlikely event to another.
July 14, 2003
Surprisingly boring and annoying '80s movie. Mistaken identity, blah. Nothing really funny happens.
June 20, 2006
Featuring the first (and only decent) screen performance by Madona, this charming comedy imposes the old fracical gimmick of amnesia on a hip and stylish East Village milieu.
January 26, 2006
Even if the plotting (a mistaken identity farce involving that old chestnut, amnesia brought on by a bump to the head) is square as a square peg. Madonna has never found a better fit than the role of Susan.

All of this is cause for consistent smiling and a few outright laughs, without ever building to complete comedy.

It has its moments, and many of them involve the different kinds of special appeal that Arquette and Madonna are able to generate.
