Who’s That Girl (1987)





When you see her on a movie poster, say a prayer and kiss your money goodbye.  You know a film is in trouble when there are punctuation mistakes in the title.  Throw in a stupid plot, Madonna as the star and you've got a perfect storm for a cinematic turd. Who's That Girl is a screwball comedy with the Material Girl  playing a framed free spirit trying to prove her innocence with the help of a stuffy tax attorney. 

Don't get me wrong,  I'm a big fan of The Queen of Pop (except for that embarrassing rendition of Santa Baby).  But my love for her quickly disintegrates once she leaves the recording studio and steps onto a movie set. Yes, she hit it out of the park in A League Of Their Own (1992) ;-) even though she basically played herself. But that doesn't make us forget the hours we lost suffering through her celluloid catastrophes.  The only good thing to come out of the movie were the singles "Causing A Commotion" and the title track.
