Elizabeth Banks is hot off of Cocaine Bear, so she thinks she can do anything. Anything like a remake of the 1985’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The original film is about military brat Sarah Jessica Parker who secretly auditions with Helen Hunt, her best friend from Catholic school to be on a dancing show like Dance Fever. She gets paired up with bad boy Lee Montgomery. He has the support of his best friend, Jonathan Silverman and his sister, Shannen Doherty. They are going to do everything in their power to get on the show, but they are going to hit a lot of roadblocks before they get to the finale.
It was the perfect teen movie. And even though it holds up, today’s generation wouldn’t get it. Unless they change the dance show to be on something like So You Think You Can Dance. But that is not the same feel.
If you have never seen it, then you should watch it on Tubi for free. It is just a lot of fun! And don’t we all want to have fun?
Banks did something original. Why can’t she keep doing that instead of making something that has already been done?
