Customer Reviews of Desperately Seeking Susan [Region 2]
A Fun, Romantic, Escapism Movie I've always loved this movie. Cute, silly, and fun. Cracks me up every time I watch it. <

>I'm a fan of Thomas Newman's soundtracks and have this one. If you like the music, you'll want to check out his many other movie scores. One of the rarer ones is "Josh & S.A.M." which is another cute movie and one of my absolute favorite movie scores.
It made Madonna a star
I remembered seeing this movie when I was a kid, when Madonna was new and exciting and innovating. It's twenty years later and she's still new and exciting and innovating. She had made a name for herself with her music, and she has always flirted with a movie career. While this was her first effort, to this day, this maintains to me as her best movie work. Because she was, after all, playing herself.

>Madonna plays Susan, a punk rock / New Waver in the 80s who travels all over the world in her pursuit of a good time. She and her boyfriend, Jim, keep up through the personal ads in the paper (way before the Internet and text messaging - think about what an effort they had to make!). Their ads have attracted the attention of a lonely New Jersey housewife named Roberta. Unhappy in her own marriage and the mundane pattern of her existence, Roberta finds Susan's to be exciting and is curious to see the woman behind the print ad. She follows Susan to a quick meeting in the park with Jim, and through a series of semi ridiculous coincidences and semi screwball comedy antics (mostly on Arquette's part), she ends up being mistaken for Susan and due to her questionable amnesiac condition gets to switch places with her. If only she could remember it all.

>It was a somewhat romantic if not feminist comedy without having any gay undertones to it. Roberta realizes her marriage to Gary was weak at best (the best laughs come from the interaction between Gary and his sister, Laurie Metcalf pre Roseanne) and breaks free from him in the end. Susan doesn't change, but realizes maybe she should curb her wild ways just a tad. If not to avoid another murder / stolen antiquities scandal. And Aiden Quinn is a lovable handsome prince for Roberta to fall for.
Great Movie!
This movie has always been one of my favorites, so it makes sense that I made it a part of my collection. On the disk's special features there is an alternate ending which puts an intersting perspective to the movie.
