Product Description
If you know what to look for, you can find almost anything in the personal ads, including the love of your life! Rosanna Arquette (PULP FICTION) is irresistible in her first starring role and pop star Madonna (Evita) gives a marvelously comic performance in this delightful madcap comedy about mistaken identity. Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta (Arquette) fills her days by reading the personals and following an ongoing romance between 'Jim' and 'Susan' (Madonna); mysterious drifters who appears to lead the kind of free-spirited lives she can only dream about. And dream she does, until the day she actually shows up at the couple's pre-arranged rendezvous in New York City and after a bump on the head, a bout of amnesia turns her into Susan and opens the door to intrigue, laughter and love! Directed by Susan Seidelman (MAKING MR. RIGHT) with a stellar supporting cast that includes Aidan Quinn, Mark Blum, Robert Joy, Laurie Metcalf, Will Patton, Steven Wright, Peter Maloney, Giancarlo Esposito and John Turturro.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024Great movie, soundtrack by the co-Star Madonna. Great for couples watching romantic/drama. Other co star was Rosanna Arquet (sic) sister to the other one, the brother who played VJ on mtv.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025Film is so easy to enjoy. A cheesy love comedy. Great cast, and Madonna does a great job on the silver screen. Quirky, hilarious lines, good actors and good enough to watch multiple times IMO. Watched this as a young g boy and still watching it as a grown man. A classic all the way!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024I saw this film in the theaters when it came out in 1985 and many times on cable. It's fun and quirky. Looks and sounds great on blu ray. Includes deleted scenes from an "Alternate ending".
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021I loved this flick from the start and decided to add it to my library on DVD so that I could watch whenever the urge strikes. The one thing i detest about streaming is that from time to time some older movies are just "no longer available" and that irks me to no end, so having what I love on hand is a cheap insurance policy. This movie is a keeper and pure joy to watch over and over.

Alejandro CavedaReviewed in Spain on November 26, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Descubriendo a Susan
El tiempo ha reivindicado esta comedia romántica y feminista de Susan Seidelman, concebida en su momento a mayor gloria de Madonna, pero donde todos los demás actores brillan con luz propia, desde Susanna Arquette a Aidan Quinn, pasando por un jovencísimo Will Patton. Aunque su estética ochentera resulte algo exagerada a estas alturas del siglo XXI, la historia de Roberta, que se encuentra a si misma a base de perder la memoria y creer (¿o desear?) ser otra persona, es atemporal y a día de hoy sigue teniendo el mismo encanto que en 1985. Una pequeña joya a (re)descubrir.

Ottima spedizione e ottima risoluzione
LondonerReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Awful artwork!!
I don’t know who okayed the artwork on this bluray release! It’s awful 😁
Also I don’t see any significant improvement on the image or sound quality on this bluray release (in comparison to the standard HD version) apart from maybe the colours being a little more vibrant.
There’s a poster included of the original artwork but the reproduction is so bad it looks like a cheap colour copy.
That aside, this is the best film ever !
