Somehow I got swindled into the worst 2 hours of my life when my TV got stuck on ABC Family and some terrible movie called 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' came on. This was basically 2 hours of some of the most un-attractive female actresses of our time dressed in some really bad 80's clothes with a stolen Flashdance storyline which I can only imagine was a straight to BetaMax release.
It was obviously miserable but here is the full review:
The storyline is basically about some high-school chick who looks like she's 45, who gets moved across the country by her strict father and finds herself in the town where her favorite dance show is being taped.
I was only half paying attention but apparently she goes to some kind of Catholic School and befriends the chick who was married to Paul Reiser in that terrible NBC show.
As if this doesn’t sound terrible enough, she meets some guy who looks like a taller Marky Mark without the huge crank. Of course neither her father or the nuns at the Catholic School are happy about this situation and when the bad boy punches out some guy at the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance who looked like Biff and the the two new love-birds bust out on his motorcycle. This is when you would expect to find the chick with the horse face and Dirk Diggler getting wasted and screwing in the parking lot but instead they try out for some terrible dance competition, which makes you wish for a Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze reunion.
What is most impressive about this movie is how they tried to convince the audience that Sarica Jessica Parker and Helen's Hunt could possible by high-school girls, I have no idea how old these two chicks were in 1985 but they already looked like martini drinking cougars. The Marky Mark dude is in desperate need for a Funky Bunch and the fact that SJP’s dad looks like Mike Dunleavy is very distracting.
you are so funny. when i was little, i thought the girls in that movie were sooo cool and wanted to be them.
