Editorial Review:
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!
Description of Girls Just Want to Have Fun:
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
Girls Just Want to Have Fun Reviews:
Girls Just want to have fun- love it 
2008-09-29 - The movie is great...even works on my dvd player considering im in Australia (ALDI's DVD player)...
The shipping is a bit to expensive, even if i'm in Australia....i've had and i know it should be cheaper.
Would most likely buy again
80's flashback 
2008-09-01 - 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.
Sexy, fun and Lovely!
2008-07-24 - 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!
80's flashbacks!!
2008-07-16 - 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.
Love it!
2008-06-14 - My little girl and I love to watch this movie together. It's an oldie but a goodie.
