A fun teen comedy inspired by Cindy Lauper's hit song of the same title. The always appealing Sarah Jessica Parker is showcased and, for once in this genre, the parents are portrayed as neither monsters nor morons, which was very refreshing at the time. This film is a slight bit of diverting fun, especially good for the younger set. The film does have one delicious sequence: Snubbed by the rich, snotty teen queen, the two heroines purloin an invitation to her exclusive debutante party. They take it to Kinkos, have dozens of copies made, and proceed to distribute them to every thug, lowlife, and street person in Chicago. Priceless!
