Un diavolo di ragazza

Evil girlfriends... Nuns with rocket launchers... A guy girls keep trying to kill even though he's undead. Even the food attacking people was an uplifting sight. A true cult classic in the poorist form. I found this movie irrelevant and enlightening.

I recently viewed this movie. I was actually entertained throughout the movie. In the beginning it came close to it losing my interest, but if you have got nothing better to do. You'll want to stick around to see what happens, especially when the character chasing the devil comes into the plot. It's deffinetaly one of those crazy films kinda like beatle juice or even Little Monsters. The characters in this film are not well known, but their funny none the less, except for the two nerds they were more or less annoying. Overall would probably watch it again if there was absolutely nothing else on. There are very funny parts in the movie for example a part when the devil is walking down the street. It makes a baby jump out of a stroller and attack it's owner. Another would be when the devil starts to "sleep-around" and possess people. This is more of a comedy then an action or drama flick. It was enjoyed and would be watched again, but some of the characters lacked talent and some scenes were strange. For example when their driving. They are both not wearing seatbelts and the scenery around them does not look real and he barely looks like hes driving. It was clear the actors were more amateur, but still managed to put out a decent twisted comedy anyways.

Okay Oscar winning material this is not. But if you like movies that are so bad they're good...this is it. God's hit-man, a geeky looking guy who drinks and likes to womanize, chases the devil throughout eternity. In this movie the devil leaps into a wall flower of a girl named Maggie. The ensuing hilarity which ensues involves rocket launcher toting nuns, women constantly punching their boyfriends, a high speed car ride, and the stealing of men's souls through their...umm...just see the movie. Don't expect witty dialogue...this movie is definitely only for those who like bad movies. I enjoyed it but I've got weird tastes.

I won this in an auction on ebay for about 3 bucks, so I figured it was worth it. You can't go wrong for 3 bucks, right? Right! While Girlfriend From Hell may not be the best movie ever, it certainly beat the hell out of the movie I saw Sunday night -- Never Been Kissed. Looking at the IMDb info, I find it hard to believe this was made in 1990 -- the movie screams 80s. Outfits, hairstyles, music...Girlfriend From Hell is about a shy woman -- Maggie -- who gets possessed by the devil. Dana Ashbrook, later of Twin Peaks fame, plays Chaser, a spirit whose job is to track this devil down and destroy her. Maggie, now possessed, wreaks havoc on everyone in the movie, and a few funny scenes ensue: the amount she can drink in one sitting, Rambo nuns, etc. The movie really goes pretty slowly for the first half, but picks up greatly in the second half when Chaser wakes up goes after Maggie. Chaser is a sexist jerk, and has some pretty funny lines. The two surviving women in the movie also have some pretty funny lines at his expense. This is the type of movie you'd be likely to see at 3am on USA on a Saturday night. There's a gratuitous nudity scene that wouldn't make it on tv, but that doesn't really make it worth renting this film. If there's nothing else in the store, pick this up. Or, if it's on tv, don't be afraid to watch it. It's not that bad.

Nobody is going to mistake "Girlfriend From Hell" for "War of the Roses", but it is at least for the first half, an entertaining "black comedy". The idea of the devil taking over a shy, prudish girls body, and sending her into a frenzy of lust is pretty good. Unfortunately, once "The Chaser" appears to hunt down the devil, things rapidly deteriorate into "Three Stooges" slapstick. Character development is acceptable, and there is some sharp dialog. The opening and closing theme song is memorable, as is the long lasting image of a Nun firing a rocket launcher. In the end, the strong first half is enough to almost overcome the weak conclusion. - MERK
