लड़कियां मस्ती करना चाहती हैं

This is a wonderful 80s film - the best of the bunch if you ask me - beats breakfast club anyway. Great dancing, great suspense - will she make it to the competition or won't she? And then, the wonderful Lee Montgomery (what every happened to him?). A feel good film to remind you of your teenage years.

I just rewatched it on the comedy channel. It's such a feelgood movie. It makes you want to dance. I always wished for a sequel. I would love to see how the characters turned out years later. Sarah and Helen are great in this movie. And I think Sarah did alot of her own stunts because she was doing gymnastics at the time. The dancing is great and the music is pure 80's fun. The movie has a good storyline that moves along with just the right amount of suspense and timing. This is a fun, feelgood dance movie. I highly recommend it.

Although cheesy,predictable & clichéd storyline.. It was casted,acted decent & enjoyable music plus cinematography.

Remember when it first came out,it has aged fairly well but a remake might be interesting.

Worth seeing! It's a fun type,weekend popcorn flick.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun is the ultimate movie of the 80s. I was 8 years old when this came out and my friends and I would hold our own Dance TV, of course everyone wanted to be Janey but I wanted to be Helen Hunt's character Lynne.

Even though Sarah Jessica Parker had the title role and the hunky Lee Montgomery as her dance partner and boyfriend, this film belonged to Helen Hunt. She was absolutely wonderful as the best friend who helped Janey with her dream of being on Dance TV.

Jonathan Silverman was funny as Drew, Jeff's best friend that in fact the best friends were the one who made this movie more enjoyable.

Shannen Doherty was also impressive as Jeff's little sister Maggie, but a little too old to be playing a 12 year old.

The music is brilliant, though a little dated and every time I see this movie it brings back all the nostaglia of growing up in the 80s.

A definite must see no matter how many times you've watched it.

It's actually quite hard to rate this film out of 10, because it really isn't a good movie. It's completely cheesy, makes very little sense, but it is fun.

You've got a very much pre-Sex And The City Sarah Jessica Parker and a young Helen Hunt who somehow manages to look and sound about 30 in this even though she would have been around 21 at the time it was made as best friends, trying to get on to a really dreadful looking TV dance show called Dance TV (how original) by throwing some very, very 80s shapes in very, very 80s outfits. Add to this a little romantic element with Richard Montgomery as the love interest, a bratty rich girl trying to cheat her way to winning the contest and you've got the whole plot, such as it is, right there.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun is just that - it's a fun movie, the kind of thing teen girls would have watched on a sleepover. It's colourful, the soundtrack is good in a very 1980s way, and it goes everything it needs to entertain. It's one of those movies that could never be remade or rebooted because it is SO very much of its time.

Richard Montgomery looks great in this movie, whatever happened to him by the way? As do Parker and Hunt. The acting is actually alright given the script and the audience it's aimed at.

Enjoyably silly, incredibly dated, but a nice watch. Not all movies need to gave a coherent plot or depth. Some are just there to be watched and forgotten.
