Fun Stuff

Trivia:

The film was originally titled "Slammer" until Madonna wrote and decided to use Who's That Girl as the film's theme song. The song went to #1 on the Billboard chart in August 1987. more

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the first shot of Louden crashing through the gate and the limo dangling over the edge of the parking structure, you can clearly see that it is a stunt driver in a hat in the driver's seat when the car is shown from the side. When it cuts back to inside the car, Louden is in the driver's seat again. more

Quotes:

Louden Trott: You're lying.
Nikki Finn: How do you know?
Louden Trott: Your lips are moving.

Author: kcfl from Waltham, MA

The critics pile on most post-"Desperately" Madonna comedies, but this was not at all bad. It's a latter-day "Bringing Up Baby," and it's no insult to the memory of Hawks, Grant and Hepburn to say this was almost as good. Not ringing praise, but I think fans of screwball owe it to themselves to see it. Madonna's Golden Globe for "Evita" and stunning film debut in "Susan" were no fluke; she is quite funny here. Griffin Dunne is a worthy foil, as she brings out his best performance. I defy non-Grinches not to laugh when she pulls a "Knock Knock" joke at a staid coop board meeting. See it.
