Quarantott'ore a Beverly Hills

I used to watch this movie because it came on all the on HBO in the 80's when I was 5 or 6 years old. I didn't realize just how bad it was and forgot all about this piece of sh*t movie until 20 something years later when it appeared on netflix. I watched it for nostalgic reasons. It was definitely terrible. What I couldn't believe is how they got so many songs cleared in this movie. Oh and that horrible actress is Jennifer Tilly. I was also surprised at how this movie even got produced. I think the main actor singer/songwriter guy just bailed out of Hollywood completely. I looked up the director and she went on to direct typical 80's and 90's shows.

A coupla posters have slagged this off, but it isn't really that bad. It has obviously been inspired by Hoffman's Tootsie film, and adds a new spin on the genre, if I can call it a genre. TK Carter's pretty funny with his over the top impressions and rubber faced expressions. And, it is refreshing to see some black actors in a love story.

Tasty Tasha!!

He' My Girl is yet another one of those role-switching 80s comedies. An aspiring rock stars' manager (Carter) invests his clients money in six hundred entries into a contest whereby the selected winner will win a trip to L.A. for a week. They'll get to meet washed up pop rocker, Simon Sledge. The duo look at the contest as the perfect opportunity to get Brian (the aspiring rocker) recognized since he'll be around all of the industry hot shots. But, the catch is, that the contest requires that the winner bring a date, and the only way Brian's manager will get to go is--you guessed it--by dressing up as a woman.

It's the usual role-switching comedy and follows the same tired story line. The manager is a little too cocky and finds a girlfriend while he's out of disguise. Meanwhile, Brian, too, falls in love. And the two start to find it quite difficult to keep up the charade. The ending was a bit funnier than the rest of the movie, but you've been warned, expect the same old, same old. It even has that peppy 80s intro credits.

But, this comedy is recommended for you if you love performances by TK Carter. If you do, you're in for a real treat since he basically steals the show (what an underrated actor). Other than that, this movie is nothing remotely special.

He's my girl is a very interesting movie with a creative plot.

This movie it is full of laughs and a few songs that you will go on singing for the rest of your life. The suspense in the movie is provided by all of the instances when you think the main character will be discovered to really be a man and the weird love triangles that he/she creates. Take time out to watch this movie. You will instantly fall in love with its light hearted plot and love themes. There is something for people of all ages. This is also one of the earlier works of Jennifer Tilly and TK Carter. You will be able to see that there performances are as good then as they are now.

One for 80's nostalgists, ' He's My Girl ' is terrific fun, a screwball comedy with colourful characters and a great rock soundtrack. T.K. Carter is a blast as Reggie, the manager of would-be rock star Bryan Peters ( David Hallyday ), who dons drag to accompany his client on a prize-winning trip to Los Angeles, courtesy of a popular music TV show. As butch femme Regina, Reggie hopes to make Bryan's dream of stardom come true - but he hadn't counted on falling in love or the lecherous advances of the TV station manager!

Carter's impeccable comic timing and Gabrielle Beaumont's snappy direction make the movie a joy to watch. Musician Hallyday gets to belt out a few cool rock tracks and even Jennifer Tilly pops up in an early role as Bryan's sculptress girlfriend.
