Great Movie!

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.

T.K. Carter's impeccable comic timing and Gabrielle Beaumont's snappy direction make this movie a joy to watch.

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.

Probably one of the worst movies ever made in history ever.

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.
