Editorial Review:
Description: Janey (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a shy good girl. Lynne (Helen Hunt) is a cool rock chick. But when the two scheme to get Janey on television's biggest after-school dance show, they find themselves on a wild adventure filled with cute boys, hot dancing, prudish nuns, mean rich kids, parents that don't understand, and girls doing what they know best--just having fun!
Amazon.com: Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt dance their way through Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a glorious example of 1980s kitsch. Janey (Parker), the new girl at a Catholic high school in Chicago, dreams of becoming a dancer on Dance TV. With the help of new wave hipster Lynne (Hunt), Janey enters a dance contest and gets paired with Jeff (Lee Montgomery), a rebel in spandex, and the two are soon smitten with each other. Unfortunately, they've made an enemy of a snooty rich girl, who vows to take them down. Everything about Girls Just Want to Have Fun is cheap and cheesy--it doesn't even have the Cyndi Lauper version of the title song--but that doesn't make it any less goofily entertaining, particularly when a debutante ball is wrecked by a bizarre combination of punk rockers and female bodybuilders. Featuring a very young Shannen Doherty as Jeff's little sister. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - 80's flashback
It was fabulous to see Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt when they were teenagers. Shanon Doherty even looked pre-teen. The dad was evil. Good, clean fun with an 80's soundtrack.
Rating: - Sexy, fun and Lovely!
I've been looking for this movie for a long time! I never thought that an oldie like this one will ever be released on DVD! Since the first time I saw it I fell in love with it, I love the dancing, 80's music and it is a nice story! If you like everything related to the eighties this movie is for you! Fun, sexy, just lovely!
Rating: - 80's flashbacks!!
I loved watching this with my daughters just as much as I did as a teen. I still remembered most of the words. Its like taking a step back into the 80's. You cant help but love Helen Hunt & Sarah Jess Parker in this movie.
Rating: - Love it!
My little girl and I love to watch this movie together. It's an oldie but a goodie.

This is definately a chick movie. If you are young or young at heart this is a great movie to watch. If you like to dance or watch dance this is for you.
