Un diavolo di ragazza

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.

Well... Girlfriend from hell is about a shy single soul called Maggie who just so happens to be set up by her friends for a birthday party. When the Devil is being chased by 'Chaser' it enters the body of little shy Maggie. Not so shy anyone, Maggie goes on the town with her friends to raise some hell and boy does she!!!

Some people may be off put by the first scene which happens to be worse the 'The Blob's' first scene.

Every single person in the film is wonderful and I'm sure that you will laugh out aloud at this one, even if you don't want to.

Nuns with guns... Killer lobsters... steering wheel jams... blow jobs from hell... five wrapped sweaters... a cake... And for god sake... When invited to a birthday party of Rocko's, DO NOT burst a balloon.

The woman playing Rocko's girlfriend is the highlight of this film. She makes me smile and laugh just from looking at her doing nothing! For example, when Rocko burst a balloon....

"WHAT did you do that for...?" "It was a stupid balloon!" "It wasn't just a stupid balloon, it was one of your birthday balloons I spent a very long time blowing up..!" (KICKS HIM IN THE FACE)

FANTASTIC, HILARIOUS COMEDY THAT IS VERY WELL DONE... LOOK OUT FOR THE SCENE WITH THE VASE!

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.

After buying this movie from a car-boot sale for £2 about 6 years ago, I've watched it so many times and found it even more funnier then next! It's like nothing else out there on the shelves. Maggies hair is hilarious, and Rocco's Girlfiend is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! She plays the part so darn well (laughing to myself as I write this) And causes such an out burst when Rocco burst a balloon! She's a big part in this movie and I don't think it wouldn't have been the same with out her! If you see this movie on TV, she's the one in the yellow shorts with BIG blond hair! Absolutely HILARIOUS! In fact, I'm gonna go watch it now.... see ya! OHHHH LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAA!

...which is that if "nothing interesting happens in the first fifteen minutes, forget it." And this movie unfortunately, is slow, ponderous, and incredibly plodding right up until the Devil possesses former wallflower Maggie and turns her into...well, what you'd expect in any female incarnation of the Devil NOT being played by Linda Blair. Wild 80's hairstyle and all. Even if it's a 1990 film. Sure, it's a dumb movie...over-acted, weird script, dumb plot, but...once Maggie becomes "The Devil" and the "Chaser" (who not only has some great one-liners ["Yeah, I met God. He's a lot shorter in person."] and also has the great running joke of his trenchcoat that seems to have at least one of everything in it somewhere...blow-up doll, six-pack of beer, roll of toilet paper, who knows what else...) starts coming after her, it turns out to be pretty darn funny. While the "Franks and Beans" joke is pretty lame and badly set up, what immediately follows (the "Rambo Nuns") is a riot. Not worth killing yourself to get a copy of, but worth a look if you're in a weird mood.
