While not overly accurate this video makes interesting viewing for Madonna Fans. Too many glaringly obvious inaccuracies for true fans but I enjoyed watching it and picking out all of these. Ie: Her hair is long in places where photo's of the event proove it was short etc. Only Madonna could accurately portray Madonna !

i thought this was a good movie. the acting could have been better. they picked a great choice in casting. then again , where are any of those actors now?? they also got a lot of their names wrong , like :
- paul = dan gillroy (madonna's boyfriend;head of "breakfast club")
- and mitch = jellybean beitenez (dj @ club)
however, a great movie for a madonna fan!!

P.S.= they should have rated this movie too :
PG-13 for sexuality\nudity, and language

This 1994 Made for TV movie shown on FOX television was based on the Christopher Andersen biography "Madonna Unauthorized". The movie focuses on Madonna's arrival in New York City shortly after graduating high school and all the bumps in the road she faced to claw her way to her first big break as a recording artist. Terumi Matthews does a really great job capturing Madonna's persona but the script was somewhat sloppy with its storytelling. The film does capture her determination to make a name for herself but unfortunately the film makes her come across so cold and calculating...even with her most intimate relationships. I cut her some slack there because she was a young woman at the time and I don't think anyone would be critical of her if she were a man trying to make into the music business.

Despite its flaws here and there, I still found this movie to be entertaining. "Just Shoot Me" fans will also enjoy some earlier work of Wendie Malick (Nina Van Horn). It'll be a perfect collectible for any Madonna fan out there or someone who enjoys watching biographical films on famous people.

OK I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS MOVIE ON THE LIFETIME CHANNEL IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ON WHAT SHE DID AND WHO SHE KNEW IT'S A DAMN SHAME THIS MOVIE DID NOT COME OUT ON DVD AND I DOUBT IT EVER WILL :'( THIS MOVIES GOES WAY BACK TO HER BIRTH AND UPBRINGING IN DETROIT TO HER STRUGGLES TO NYC WOW SHE CAN BE A BITCH AND LET ME TELL YOU I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK ON HER PAST AND THIS MOVIE PRETTY MUCH HITS THE HAMMER ON THE NAIL THIS ONE IS A MUST FOR ANY MADONNA FAN TRYING TO FALLOW IN HER FOOTSTEPS OR JUST A GREAT WAY TO PASS AWAY AN HOUR AND A HALF EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MADONNA FANS THIS WILL MAKE YOU ONE OF THEM SO BUY THE MOVIE....... BTW CHECK ME ON MYSPACE!!!!!!!!!!!! SEXY TECHNO BOY

Even though the acting has some goofy moments (like the way Madonna holds the microphone as she sings into it and when her first manager hurts her hand), I enjoy watching this film. If it portrays anything accurately, it's the fact that she knew what she was doing. Honestly, part of the movie's appeal for me is it's goofiness. Her boyfriend's part was acted well.

I thought the film didn't portray a very honest role of Madonna. It made her look like the slut of the centuary. Plus it didn't even get her name right.

Although the acting wasn't great, this movie gave an awesome portral of Madonna's rise to fame. A must have for any Madonna fan!
