Excellent but underrated film

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

So if you're 14 or whatever and want to know what the 80s was like, watch this movie. Everything--and I mean EVERYTHING, is spot on. The costumes are amazing. The production design in amazing. The colors of those opening titles--woah! And the best thing? The music! The person that picked the songs really earned their paycheck, because the selections are really authentic to that 80s club culture. These aren't the same, worn out and cliché 80s songs you always hear when the 80s is involved but proper, underground stuff typically only played in clubs and in radio stations in Miami, New York and LA.And you know what? The story is actually really fun! It takes place over the course of one night, which I really like (think After Hours by Scorsese). The character arcs are fun to witness, and the acting is enjoyable to watch (although don't expect ultra-realism).Oh, and I am in lust with 80s Daphne Zuniga. Man. When my time machine is complete, she had better watch out.

Cute fun movie about a night out in the life of several clubkids. I saw this a long time ago but liked it. I would actually like to see it again if I could only find it.There is nothing remarkable here, just a good fun movie. a bunch of girls are going out on the town and all the things that go wrong(and right). It captures the time period and "night out at the club" feeling beautifully, and the cast is pretty good. Look for Daphne Zunniga of Melrose fame, she has a major role and is quite good, quite an underated actress. The movie's target audience is clealy clubkids but since I used to be one as was the guy I watched this with, I had no problems with that. It makes for many laughs, some pretty funny situations and an entertaining overall view. My vote is 7. 5 out of 10.

"Modern Girls" is a cheap film that offers a few laughs, but nothing particularly interesting as it doesn't really have much of a story, other than three roommates (80s b-movie regulars Cynthia Gibb, Virginia Madsen, and Daphne Zuniga) who endure the dating scene in the course of one night. The latter part of the night turns into an oddball adventure chasing rock star Bruno X, a dual role played by actor Clayton Rohner, who 80s teen movie fans might enjoy if they like performance in "Just One of the Guys." This is a particularly ridiculous pursuit given the girl's fixation that being with Bruno X is somehow her destiny, even though she just met him for a second. Because of such a stupid story, the movie just gets by one whatever laughs it can muster and is really one movie that I would say is best recommended for fans of the cast.

Nothing screams 80s like this movie. Watching this film as a young teen I wanted nothing more than to be waltzed off to a bad goth bar and find my friend intoxicated rolling around on top of a pool table, and during all this trying to find the rock star lover of my dreams. Needless to say,I gave this movie a 10. Besides, I can't think of any other movie that plays Depeche Mode over and over again.
