There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Things should be going well for lawyer Loudon Trott as he is due to get married to the daughter of one of New York's wealthiest men the next day; he just has to do a couple of things first
pick up a cat and then drive a woman to the bus station. Neither go according to plan; the cat is some sort of endangered cougar and the woman, Nikki Finn, has just been released from prison and wants to do a few things before catching her bus such as getting a gun in Harlem and acquiring the evidence to prove that she didn't murder her boyfriend. This means getting a safety deposit box number from the actual murderer before she can learn who he was working for.This is a fairly lightweight film but that doesn't stop it being rather fun. There are plenty of laughs and some decent comedy action. Madonna is a lot of fun as the slightly punky Nikki; as Laudon states in the film she is a real force of nature. Griffin Dunne is also good as the uptight Laudon; his character is far less 'in your face' but still provides some good laughs. While it is these two who carry the film the rest of the cast are pretty good too. The ending is entirely predictable but that isn't really a problem as all about how we get to that ending. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see film but if you want a decent, inoffensive '80s comedy you could do a lot worse.

Neutral review:I have watched this movie in the summer and quite frankly I really liked it,not because Madonna played the main role in the story, but because it was a fun movie with good turn around and with good energy. I could really feel Madonna's spirit throughout the movie, a bit like in Desperately seeking Susan.Now when we watch the movie furthermore, paying attention to little details, one can appreciate the subtle references, Elvis Presley'poster at the beginning or Madonna's soundtrack in the middle of the movie, it really adds to the experience.I thought the movie was also really positive, it wasn't depressing or too dark. One could argue that she was a Popstar at the time and so she was already loved by many people, however, she is clearly adding hertouch the "spirit" of the movie.So a rate of ten for this movie, sir!

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.

This is the epitome of bad 80's film-making, unless you are a pre-pubescent girl. Riding on a big name like madonna, a story line that physically assaults one's intelligence and humour that is most suited for a nursery school. If there was ever any doubt i think this turd of a movie clearly displays Madonna's absolute lack of acting talent and made me feel highly embarrassed on her behalf. The only thing i can't believe is that they ever let the director near another movie again. Madonna spends most of the movie prancing around like an infantile rag doll, and talking like a baby. It is painfully obvious that the only reason this movie was ever made was due to the fact that Madonna was a big name in pop music at the time. DO NOT BE DUPED INTO SEEING THIS AWFUL ATTEMPT TO CASH IN ON POP STARDOM. Stay away at all costs!
