A script and story just plain cut out for Madonna, who might wallow in pretty much anything else off her character. Amazing that they cast for her role, when it seems pretty clear she was The One. Madonna plays the laid back, somewhat trampy lead while Rosanna Arquette - ordinary suburban wife - gets interwoven into Madonna's unquestionably wild life. And what a ride it is, repleat with an evil villain, played by a hard-to-recognize Bill Paxton, and a bunch of odd characters including dead-panner Steven Wright and John Turturro as a stand-up comic. And then there's Mark Blum, playing the dufus straight out of Crocodile Dundee. A fun ride all around, great music for great moments, like when The Material Girl struts her stuff down the street. As 80s as it gets and that's a good thing. I'll keep typing until I hit the 600 letters limit, I should have said Aidan Quinn does a great job as someone helping the desperate Rosanna, but still a little menacing after Stakeout. Enjoy!
