Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Fluke_Skywalker I will always have a major crush on 80s Madonna. So it came as a bit of a surprise to me that I had never seen 'Who's the Girl?'. Rectified. Much to my surprise, I thought it was a lot better than its reputation.The "plot" is stupid, but the script is occasionally witty and the cast pull it off well--Yes, even the oft-criticized Madonna, who I found completely charming here. The real star though is Griffin Dunne. He's like a more handsome 80s Harold Ramis with 80s Tom Hanks' comedic energy and timing. He really should've become a bigger star.This movie is pure, undiluted 80s in all of its glory. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

jokerswild1 This movie is a good bit of fun, better than the critics and the IMDb rating would lead you to believe. To be fair, I should note that I am a huge fan of Madonna (as most fans of this movie tend to be), so that may very well be a factor in your enjoyment of the movie.Madonna plays Nikki Finn, a squeaky-voiced girl with hair like Jean Harlow and lips as red as a fire truck. Having been framed for the murder of her boyfriend and after spending four years in the slammer, she's determined to prove her innocence upon her release from prison, and enlists the help of Loudon Trott, a lawyer who was merely supposed to drive her to the bus station, but ends up getting caught in Nikki's tornado of trouble.Madonna's performance is mostly enjoyable in this film, even if their are some noticeable cracks in her metaphorical armor of acting. Griffin Dunne does a great job playing the straight man, saying many funny and quotable things when being driven to the brink of madness by Nikki's actions. There are a few lines and over the top jokes I can't help but roll my eyes at, and the film never bothers to pay off a certain joke that is set up on three occasions.My theory is that most people just went into this film with a bad attitude, already convinced it would be terrible because of Madonna's previous film, Shanghai Surprise (which is a completely abysmal movie in every way). So if you go into this film with an open mind and no more expectations than a good time, you may very well enjoy it.

Anna Smith I do not understand why this comedy got such bad reviews when it got out. I assume the critics simply did not get the humour of this movie. I think it is such a sweet and funny comedy. I first saw it when I was very sad, totally down and this comedy cheered me up, it made my day. And even now I watch it now and then when I feel sad and this movie makes me happy again. Madonna is so funny in this film and portraying the grazy-but-lovable Nikki so well. And the other cast is good as well. I cannot really find anything wrong with this comedy except the fact that people cannot stand that Madonna can do many things well, including acting. Don't listen to the critics, watch the movie and enjoy!

FinerFilmFanatic "What's his name?" "Loudon." "Loudon what?" "Clear."That gag still gets me, TWENTY ONE years after the film was released.I loved the film back then and I love it today. I must have watched this a hundred times back in the day, and when I bought the DVD recently I could still remember some of the dialogue.Madonna plays Nikki Finn, a young woman jailed for a crime she didn't commit. When she gets out she decides to seek revenge.Griffin Dunne (whatever happened to him?), plays an attorney for his fiancée's father (John McMartin). The future father-in-law asks Loudon to take Nikki from prison to the bus station and to make sure she gets on the bus, as part of a supposed new public relations programme. A seemingly easy task, but there are complications aplenty, some funny dialogue, and some admittedly stupid-but-funny scenes along the way.Madonna has a stupid voice in this film, which until I was able to watch with subtitles made one or two lines of dialogue incomprehensible for me (hence only 8/10), but on the other hand I can't imagine her doing it in her normal voice.This film shows Madonna's comic side (too lacking these days, perhaps), and she genuinely is funny in the role. Dunne makes a great foil, while Haviland Morris is perfect as the uppity fiancée.Yes, it's predictable, yes, the jokes could be better, but I think this is a great film and will happily sit down and watch it 100 times more.
