Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This chilling disturbing and in some ways almost funny film deserves 9/10. The color days were used to show how back in the past how Hillary and Bonnie had so much ......well "Fun" in the past hanging out. And The black and white film used it present time how the "fun" they had brought them into trouble. And also being seperated from one another. I saw this movie late one night on Sundance. It had wonderful acting. I loved it and yet was disturbed by it at the same time.Hillary had already told about how she was abused as a kid. And Bonnie was kinda Hyper Active Disorder.Well you know what they say "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"Why did I not give it a 10/10. I loved everything except....where was the ending? If what i saw was the ending I didnt like it. Give it more UMTH! Than .....whoops cant tell! I say see this movie whenever you get a chance. But you HAVE to see it begining to end. Or else youll miss out on the fun!

Excellent. Chilling. Heartfelt. Grotesquely beautiful.

Fun is personally my favorite film. This is a risky film to stand by with a claim like that, but in my opinion Alicia Witt has never been greater and before taking on more fun, low brow roles, proved herself an incredibly gifted actress. Bonnie's psychosis (or perhaps unsettling lack thereof) is brought to life with a combination of intensity and whimsy and like similarly antiheroic characters leaves us questioning where we are morally. You cannot advocate the behavior, but there's a potency to the role that makes you almost excuse it in your weaker moments. Renee Humphrey is an interesting counterbalance to Witt in that sympathy is easier to find with her character, though I must admit that the personal magnetism is most visible in Bonnie. To quote Bonnie, "Fun is number one".

He made what?

It's hard to believe that Rafal Zielinski, the guy responsible for bargain basement sleaze like "Screwballs", wanted to make a movie like "Fun". The movies don't exist on the same plane of reality. "Screwballs" featured characters with names like Jerkovski and Purity Busch. "Fun" is a gritty true crime drama, actually based on a true story.

This is not to say that "Fun" is a masterpiece. It is bolstered by its two unfettered performances from Witt and Humphrey as two motiveless, remorseless teenage killers. However, the best thing that I can say about the direction is that it gives these actresses the space they need to do their own thing.

"Fun" is a must-see for fans of true crime, but anybody else can probably skip it.

Well acted; Provocative and Ultimately Disturbing.

This film just blew me away. The tale of two teenage girls who are devoted to each other and conspire to murder an elderly woman was chilling.

The presentation of the film was realistic and honest. It's use of flashbacks and black and white photography, gave the film a stark and detached feel, yet enabled us to emphasise with the main protaganists, authority figures and victims.

The acting by the two leads; Alicia Witt and Renee Humpherey was superb, thoroughly deserving of the joint best actress award they won at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. An extrordinary representation of todays lost and misguided youth, in a society that is floundering in it's own judgements; beliefs and failure to acknowledge the truth. 9/10.

Lack of supporting talent kills it

I could not get into this film, which bothered me as the two young actresses playing the leads were extraordinarily good. However, the whole flashback structure required the story to be told to two supporting actors in 'current' time, neither of whom seem like they have any acting chops whatsoever. "Jane" and "John" are such caricatures that any scene involving them feels incredibly false. The flashback sequences are excellent -- except for the victim, who is also a terrible actress -- and those are compelling enough to make the film worth a look. I gave it a 5. Shame on either the producer or the director for the casting decisions involved. Alicia Witt is especially good in this.

If you want to see the same theme dramatized much more effectively, see "Heavenly Creatures".

Quiz
This film was based on the real life events of two teenage girls in 1983 who killed an elderly woman in Auburn, California after they had just met for the first time at school and cut classes to go on a irresponsible spree leading up to the murder... all over the course of one afternoon.

Citazioni
John: Meanwhile, I think the story's coming along pretty well.
Hillary: I don't give a shit about your story!
John: Why?... You could be helping a lot of other girls. Did you ever think about that?
Hillary: It doesn't matter what happens to us. People who shit on their kids are not gonna' stop. Something makes them do it. Everybody knows it's wrong, but they do it anyway... And I'm not unhappy. You know, even in here, sometimes I laugh so hard I... I can't stop.
John: Doesn't mean you're happy. There're a lot of different kinds of laughter.
Hillary: [Looks off into the distance] Yeah, I like the kind at the ocean... when a giant wave comes pounding down on you, and you think it's gonna' crush you, but then it breaks and comes down and sends you crashing to the sand... that's when you get up and laugh. That's the kind of laugh that makes you know you're alive.
Hillary: [fidgeting slightly] You know, it's like cavemen. I bet nobody ever had to remind them that they were alive. Every day they killed for food, or they starved, or they froze to death... but, I swear to God, I'm sure they laughed a lot better than most people today do.
