    With a cast this famous, you might get suckered into thinking the film is good. Let me warn you: PUT IT DOWN NOW!! I would like to suggest they change the title. I saw no girls having fun in this fim.

    This is just a fun movie from the 80's. It's also my favorite movie. I drove my older sisters crazy watching this all the time when I was younger

    Loved this 80"s flick about teens having fun and aspiring to be on a tv dance show..the music made you want to dance and the story even though corny worked for me..recomend you see this for a 80" flashback. It is also the early days for a couple of well known star of today.

    Just silly fun and standard mid 80s high-school stuff. Fun to see a young Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt. Shannon Doherty is 12 yrs old in this. The movie holds up well for having been made nearly 25 yrs ago and these ladies have held up even better. The clothes and music are hilarious but a good representation of that time.

    This is such a fun '80s movie! Even though stupid Helen Hunt is in this movie, she doesn't manage to ruin it. SJP is fun and shows off her dancing skills (no Flashdance here) and Shannen Doherty is adorable! Good times.

    Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt are two girls I would have loved to hang out with during my highschool days. I really love this movie and will own it one day. I love Shannen Doherty's character as well, the kid sister with a crush. AWww! Oh and this movie, makes me want to dance!

    This 80's high school comedy doesn't offer anything new but I did thought that it was still entertaining none the less. The performances by the cast were solid (Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt were really good) and there are some really funny moments as well. It?s a decent flick if I so myself.

    It shows how good of a dancer Sarah Jessica Parker is; it also shows her with her natural hair color, which is refreshing to see every once in a while (for actors and actresses in general)

    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.

    The only reason I am giving this movie good rates is because is an icon of my time. Being a girl and having grown in the 80's, you have to love this one.

    A fun, energizing, comedy, every peer situations and family ones as well. Not to spoil, but its one of those movies where the bad character gets it in the end. yeah!

    All I can say is... wow. Helen Hunt in a grasshopper hat. It's just about the dippiest thing I've EVER seen, and like Marla said, "Can you believe this is the movie that made people think, 'Wow. They ought to be in MORE movies!"
