Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt dance their way through Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a glorious example of 1980s kitsch. Janey (Parker), the new girl at a Catholic high school in Chicago, dreams of becoming a dancer on Dance TV. With the help of new wave hipster Lynne (Hunt), Janey enters a dance contest and gets paired with Jeff (Lee Montgomery), a rebel in spandex, and the two are soon smitten with each other. Unfortunately, they've made an enemy of a snooty rich girl, who vows to take them down. Everything about Girls Just Want to Have Fun is cheap and cheesy--it doesn't even have the Cyndi Lauper version of the title song--but that doesn't make it any less goofily entertaining, particularly when a debutante ball is wrecked by a bizarre combination of punk rockers and female bodybuilders. Featuring a very young Shannen Doherty as Jeff's little sister. --Bret Fetzer

 PG13 not PG March 5, 2009

i remembered this movie from way back when and thought my niece would love it. however, this movie is rated pg13, not pg as stated. i ordered it for my niece who is 7. i would not have ordered it if the rating stated would have been correct. she will now have to wait a few years to watch.

Just to clarify - I LOVE 80s movies, and have a pretty decent collection of DVDs representing the era. I got this movie since I haven't seen it before, and I liked main actors in it. But whoever directed this piece did a horrible job, acting is below even one star - I couldn't believe that the same actors - Helen Hunt, Sara Jessica Parker and Shannen Doherty did such good jobs on TV and in movies later in their careers. Sarah Jessica looked like she was trying waaaaay to hard, and Helen Hunt and Shannen Doherty were just... horrible. As far as the script goes... well, it was just empty. Somebody compared this movie to a Center Stage - well, I wouldn't, since there is no good choreography here at all - absolutely NOTHING to look at and enjoy. I got rid of this DVD the very next day after I watched it... Don't waste your time.

I purchased this for my teenage niece and she really liked it. She said she would watch it a second time so I think it must be really good.

The movie is great...even works on my dvd player considering im in Australia (ALDI's DVD player)...
The shipping is a bit to expensive, even if i'm in Australia....i've had and i know it should be cheaper.
Would most likely buy again

It was fabulous to see Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt when they were teenagers. Shanon Doherty even looked pre-teen. The dad was evil. Good, clean fun with an 80's soundtrack.
