Petty criminal Nikki Finn (Madonna) is paroled after 4 years in prison. She intends to find who had framed her. Loudon Trott (Griffin Dunne) needs to deliver an exotic animal for real estate mogul Montgomery Bell. He also has to prepare for his wedding to boss's daughter Wendy Worthington. His boss is the one responsible for Nikki's frame up and directs him to drive her to the bus station on her way home out of town. Nikki has no intention of getting on the bus. The cops haven't abandoned the case either.Madonna is trying very hard to be wacky. She's not accomplished enough as a comedian to pull it off especially as a lead. I can see this shtick working as a supporting character. It's too awkward and she overwhelms the screen. It doesn't really make sense that Worthington would direct Loudon to drive Nikki. He should be hiring someone to follow her and call her parole officer when she fails to get on the bus. Logic is not that important anyways. It's all an excuse for flustered Griffin Dunne to be paired with wacky Madonna. It's a wacky and not funny screwball adventure.

Let's face it - Madonna was - Too much peroxide, too much eyebrow, too much red lip-gloss, trying way-way too hard to be little Miss Funny-Girl, and failing miserably.By this point in this little pop-star's career her own personal equation was pretty much standardized as - Madonna + Movie = Garbage.Hearkening back to the 1940s, Who's That Girl? was a real idiot's attempt at "Screwball" Comedy. This film ultimately fell flat on its face trying to capture the essentially important spirit of humor from that particular era.Is it really any surprise at all that the dismal failure of this flick could pretty much rest solely upon the creamy-white shoulders of Madonna?As I understand it - The behind-the-scenes scenario went like this - Madonna being the big "you-know-what" that she is, continually over-ruled James Foley's decisions and direction, refusing to work at all if she couldn't have things her way.Yes. Madonna really had that much clout. And, yes, she was the one who ultimately ruined this picture.Anyways - At this point I think that it's really quite pointless to go into any great detail here, outlining this flick's dumb story, except to say that Madonna, who babbles away throughout the story (using a totally affected voice and behaves like a snot-nosed teen) plays an ex-con. (Ho-hum!)You know, I cannot, for the life of me, see how even Madonna fans could say that they liked this fiasco. It completely lacked any humor, or charm, whatsoever.P.S. - Man, when it came to those frickin' eyebrows of Madonna's, like, that material girl seriously needed to either trim them damn things down some, or else register them as some kind of lethal weapon.

"What's his name?" "Loudon." "Loudon what?" "Clear."That gag still gets me, TWENTY ONE years after the film was released.I loved the film back then and I love it today. I must have watched this a hundred times back in the day, and when I bought the DVD recently I could still remember some of the dialogue.Madonna plays Nikki Finn, a young woman jailed for a crime she didn't commit. When she gets out she decides to seek revenge.Griffin Dunne (whatever happened to him?), plays an attorney for his fiancée's father (John McMartin). The future father-in-law asks Loudon to take Nikki from prison to the bus station and to make sure she gets on the bus, as part of a supposed new public relations programme. A seemingly easy task, but there are complications aplenty, some funny dialogue, and some admittedly stupid-but-funny scenes along the way.Madonna has a stupid voice in this film, which until I was able to watch with subtitles made one or two lines of dialogue incomprehensible for me (hence only 8/10), but on the other hand I can't imagine her doing it in her normal voice.This film shows Madonna's comic side (too lacking these days, perhaps), and she genuinely is funny in the role. Dunne makes a great foil, while Haviland Morris is perfect as the uppity fiancée.Yes, it's predictable, yes, the jokes could be better, but I think this is a great film and will happily sit down and watch it 100 times more.

I am really sad that that this film has got so much negative criticism. I think it is a nice little comedy and really funny. The humour in this film is kind of warm and innocent and I like it. I also like Madonna's character and I do not agree that she played herself. She has created a character and a sympathetic one. My favourite scenes were the fighting scene on top of the sinking car and where Madonna climbs over the fence in a fancy dress to claim her love. The humour in the film has a slightly syrrealistic touch and perhaps it is not everybody's cup of tea. But it's their problem, not of the film. I found this film wholesome and sunny. In fact, the day I first saw it I was incredibly sad for some reason and this film lit up my day. And Madonna can act. Just take off your glasses of negative thinking.
