This has to be the most overrated movie of 1985.

Even if the plotting (a mistaken identity farce involving that old chestnut, amnesia brought on by a bump to the head) is square as a square peg. Madonna has never found a better fit than the role of Susan.

Works despite Madonna and not really because of her.

Offbeat Susan Seidelman comedy features funny Madonna and Arquette.

Surprisingly boring and annoying '80s movie. Mistaken identity, blah. Nothing really funny happens.

Oddball fun.

The film acquires a pleasant, syncopated rhythm as it bounces from one unlikely event to another.

Featuring the first (and only decent) screen performance by Madona, this charming comedy imposes the old fracical gimmick of amnesia on a hip and stylish East Village milieu.
