Desperately Seeking Susan

I know that Desperately Seeking Susan was marketed as a vehicle for Madonna’s stardom, but it really shouldn’t have been. This is Rosanna Arquette’s movie. She is the star and Madonna just kind of comes and goes as she pleases. And while they try to portray Madonna’s character, Susan, as a free-spirited bohemian, she just comes across as arrogant and annoying. I would hate to have someone like Susan in my life. Arquette is believable as the naïve character Roberta, but the story is really flimsy. It might have worked better if they would have made Desperately Seeking Susan a comedy instead of a drama.

I watched this movie for the first time a couple of days ago. It was a fun throw back to the 80’s. So many miscommunications in a world without cell phones and social media. The story was kind of cute. I really enjoyed Aidan Quinn in it especially. I think Patricia Arquette did a great job too. Madonna was fine. It definitely was 80’s weird in parts. Like you know the kind of weirdness that was present in the 90’s. Like really random, strange things that are kind of messy and eclectic. It’s not a bad thing. Kind of charming actually. It’s what I love about the 80’s.

A movie that must’ve worked better in the time it was released, Desperately Seeking Susan’s strange script and unbelievable story make it less enjoyable for today’s audience.

A really good 80s comedy caper. Not the funniest but has a light film and quite a tight plot for a screwballish film. Madonna and Arquette are both very good. Watched on Amazon Prime.

This movie is a great snapshot of the '80s. It's the best movie Madonna ever did. She's essentially playing a version of herself. This is early Madonna before she became the Madonna. Great cast all around including Aiden Quinn and of course Rosanna Arquette

One of my favorite movies! It's suspenseful and mysterious, with lots of plot twists and characters. Very good movie

A fun, lighthearted, and entertaining movie.

Such a fun 80s, romp!! Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn, Laurie Metcalf and Madonna are killer in this!

I remember when the media hyped everybody into believing this was a great movie. When I got around, actually watching it in the movie theater, I realized Madonna would never have an acting career. Nice to see that finally the rest of society is taking the pennies off their eyes and see there is nothing to see.

worst movie ever made
