A fun flickThis movie is worth watching! Love the 80’s nostalgia..:).KayeShneider5Score: 5/5
Best movieEverything in this movie got my attention I love the 80’s nyc and of course Madonna.Mtonym98Score: 5/5
I really like this movie, and I hate romantic comedyI am not sure why, but this movie always stood out to me. It came out when I was just 10 yes old and yes I saw it then, however after seeing it over again later on as an adult, it made much more sense to me. I still really like it and I miss the 80s so nostalgia is part of it. Also it is a good movie, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and is just fun. Movies now are rarely just fun. That is something I miss about older movies. Also everything today is just PC and has to all have some huge message to it. Sometimes people just want to watch a movie that’s fun and has no real meaning. Entertainment for entertainments sake type thing. I never thought Madonna was a bad actor either. Certainly not the seasoned best, but not bad either. It’s a good part for her here..MeecepeeceScore: 5/5
Ah...the 80s NYPerfect portrait of the 80s with a great story...film displays the mega-force of Lady Madonna's appeal. I was just a kid when this film was released, but I remember it well!.RebelYELL23Score: 5/5

Deutsch In einer Kleinanzeige entdeckt die frustrierte Hausfrau Roberta den Hilferuf des jungen Musikers Jim : 'Susan... verzweifelt gesucht'. Als sich daraufhin Susan ebenfalls über eine Kleinanzeige meldet und sich mit Jim verabredet, beschließt Roberta, jene mysteriöse Susan kennen zu lernen. Voller Neugier und ihres kleinbürgerlichen Vorstadtlebens müde fährt sie nach New York und beobachtet das Treffen der beiden. Fasziniert von Susans lebendiger und extrovertierter Erscheinung, versucht Roberta zu sein wie sie. Nach einem Unfall verliert sie ihr Gedächtnis und glaubt nun tatsächlich an ihre neue Identität - mit fatalen Folgen: Killer heften sich an ihre Fersen und eine abenteuerliche Großstadt-Odyssee beginnt.
Italiano Jim è innamorato di Susan, una strampalata ragazza che ama vivere in modo libero e indipendente. Non sapendo come rintracciarla, Jim la cerca attraverso un annuncio su un quotidiano. L'inserzione viene notata da Roberta, una romantica borghese che si è stancata del marito, grossista di vasche da bagno, e sogna nuove avventure. Inizia così una sgangherata serie di equivoci, divertenti per quanto scontati, che servono da contorno per l'interpretazione recitativa (inesistente) e canora (notevole) di una delle rockstar più famose del mondo.
Français Roberta, jeune bourgeoise un peu coincée du New Jersey, s'ennuie ferme dans sa luxueuse maison. Et quand elle découvre dans les petites annonces « Recherche Susan désespérément », elle décide d'enquêter pour savoir qui est cette fameuse Susan...

Inden hun når så vidt, kommer hun i besiddelse af Susans jakke - og da hun ramler ind i en lygtepæl, mister Roberta hukommelsen og tror, at hun selv er Susan!

Magyar Roberta, a frusztrált New York-i háziasszony a szépségszalonban üldögél éppen és a The Times apróhirdetéseit böngészi, amikor megakad a szeme egy különös hangzású közleményen: "Kétségbeesve keresem Susant". Roberta elhatározza, hogy felkutatja ezt a rejtélyes nőt. aki közben már meg is érkezett a városba egy bérgyilkossal a nyomában. Csakhogy Robertát baleset éri, és a nagy ütéstől elveszti az emlékezetét. Susannak képzeli magát. Dez, a mozigépész szedi fel, akinek fogalma sincs, hogy életét veszélyezteti ezzel, lévén, hogy a valódi Susant egy gyilkos üldözi. A személy- és személyiség-csere számtalan rendkívül mulatságos bonyodalmat eredményez. Ironikus, thrillerbe oltott, friss humorú vígjáték két kitűnő színésznővel a főszerepekben. Madonna alakítja az igazi Susant, Rosanna Arquette a mását. Nehéz eldönteni, melyikük a jobb.

Até que um dia, ela aparece em um encontro do casal na cidade de Nova Iorque... E após uma pancada na cabeça, um ataque de amnésia transforma Roberta em Susan, e conduz a loucos caminhos de intriga, risos e romance!

Comedy about a young, lively Italian-American woman and her ex-convict father who sting the Mafia and the law. Emily Lloyd ("In Country," "Wish You Were Here") and Peter Falk ("The In-Laws," TV's "Columbo") star in this high-spirited comedy about a feisty, outspoken, streetwise teenage girl growing up in Brooklyn who manages to outsmart both the mob and the law while rebuilding her rocky relationship with her father after a long separation.

Susan Seidelman established her distinctive vision of 1980s New York with this debut feature, the lo-fi original for her vibrant portraits of women reinventing themselves. After escaping New Jersey, the quintessentially punk Wren (Susan Berman)—a sparkplug in fishnets who lives dangerously downtown—moves to the city with the mission of becoming famous. When not pasting up flyers for herself or hanging at the Peppermint Lounge, she’s getting involved with Paul (Brad Rijn), the nicest guy to ever live in a van next to the highway, and Eric (Richard Hell), an aloof rocker. Shot on 16 mm film that captures the grit and glam of the setting, with an alternately moody and frenetic soundtrack by the Feelies and others, Smithereens—the first independent American film to compete for the Palme d’Or—is an unfaded snapshot of a bygone era.
Levy hosts Ian Abramson, Benji Aflalo, Dave Anthony, Rell Battle, Jen D’Angelo, James Davis, Matt McCarthy, Rob O’Reilly, Jesse Popp, Sara Schaefer, Joe Sib, and Allen Strickland Williams. Each episode also features the well-known internet cartoon, Humorous Vacuum Robot.
