Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen Loudon flips through the prenuptial agreement, the first few text pages he flips through are identical. When he gets to the sexual-position diagrams, the various icons repeat on various pages. This is Wendy's father's way of overkill because he wants to make sure she and Loudon don't have sex.
- Quotes
Cabbie #1: So, you're getting married?
Loudon Trott: Yep. Tomorrow at noon, I'm marrying Wendy Worthington.
Cabbie #1: You? Nah.
Loudon Trott: What?
Cabbie #1: You marrying Wendy Worthington? I can't see it. You're not her type.
Loudon Trott: You know Wendy Worthington?
Cabbie #1: Sure. Wendy from Scarsdale. I had her in the cab once.
Loudon Trott: Well, just because you happened to have given her a ride, that doesn't mean that you know her type.
Cabbie #1: I didn't say I gave her a ride. I said I had her in the cab.
[Loudon slumps back in his seat looking mortified as the cab stops]
Cabbie #1: Here we are. That'll be $6.50.
Loudon Trott: I don't have any money.
Cabbie #1: Oh, forget it. For any friend of Wendy's.
- Crazy creditsAn animated Nikki Finn opens up the Warner Bros logo and steps out. She then sets off a musical number ("Causing a Commotion") that covers the opening titles and recaps the events that put Nikki in prison.
- Alternate versionsThe BBFC in 1987 cut the film both for cinema release and domestic video, with cuts totaling 1 min 43 secs, to the scene where Madonna is shopping with Griffin Dunne in the record store and can be seen putting cassettes into her own pockets and into a shoplifter's pocket to frame him, cuts were waived on the 07/03/2006 with a PG cert, although the Uncut version played on television channels in the early 90's

It's not deep or even based in reality but it is just very fun to watch. Madonna gives a great performance as Nikki Finn; she's funny, sexy and assertive. It's clear she carries the film; I've read other user's comparisons to Judy Holiday and Marilyn Monroe, and to me, that's not bad company to be associated with.
Her character is simply mesmerizing on screen, in late 80's fashion of course...I don't know about the rest of you, but I just enjoy seeing the Madonna we grew to love, before her exploitive stage, before she 'gave the farm away' so to speak, she was sexier then.
How about the soundtrack? Great especially the theme song And Griffin Dunne is hilarious by the way. B+
