It's one of those movies from the 80's, that is just simple and fun. Like Real Genius for me. But with Girl Just Want to Have Fun... it was fun to watch the music, and the dancing and of course root for the romance. And to go against the strict father. And to have the fun loving best friend who would always be there...

It took the love of music/dance shows, and had fun with it. Yeah, the father could have found out before seeing her on television especially the racket trying to get of the window! But it was fun, regardless...
