As most positive reviews have already stated If your not a Madonna fan, you probably won't like this movie. However, as a Madonna fan, I saw this movie when it played on cable the first time, around 1988, I enjoyed this movie then and I still enjoy it now.
It's not deep or even based in reality but it is just very fun to watch. Madonna gives a great performance as Nikki Finn; she's funny, sexy and assertive. It's clear she carries the film; I've read other user's comparisons to Judy Holiday and Marilyn Monroe, and to me, that's not bad company to be associated with.
Her character is simply mesmerizing on screen, in late 80's fashion of course...I don't know about the rest of you, but I just enjoy seeing the Madonna we grew to love, before her exploitive stage, before she 'gave the farm away' so to speak, she was sexier then.
How about the soundtrack? Great especially the theme song
And Griffin Dunne is hilarious by the way. B+

Madonna's best film.
Silly, but I can't help but like it
I'd consider myself a Madonna fan and have fond memories of watching this movie whenever it used to come on Comedy Central. The storyline is a bit silly but it's endearing. It's a fun movie. Nikki and Griffin Dunne's character made a good team with their opposite personalities. I liked the subtle jabs made at rich people as well.
Sam Goody and the old New York City were nice to see as well.
Some good Madonna songs featured as well in it, Who's That Girl, The Look of Love, Don't Stop, and Causing a Commotion.
Should have been a hit!
This is a fun, amusing, quirky quintessential 80s Comedy! Madonna is excellent and funny as Nikki Finn, a blonde bombshell, wisecracking ex con out to clear her name. Madonna totally inhabits the screwball character of Miss Fin with lots of sass, attitude and amusing lines. Great 80s Edwin fun!
