About this product

Product Information

Rosanna Arquette is Roberta Glass, a bored New Jersey yuppie housewife who finds escapism from her mundane life in the New York personal ad exploits of a flighty bohemian named Susan (Madonna). When Roberta travels to the city to witness an ad-inspired meeting between Susan and her lover Jimmy, she bumps her head, loses her memory, and for all intents and purposes, becomes Susan, thanks to a case of mistaken identity. As a result, she is pursued by crooks and other shady characters through the funky East Village of the early '80's. Quinn is the confused film protectionist who stumbles into the role of Roberta/Susan's protector. Madonna, not quite a superstar when this was filmed, uses this small role to show the sort of charisma she would soon shower upon the world in larger doses. Steven Wright, Giancarlo Esposito, Richard Hell, Ann Magnuson, John Lurie, and Arto Lindsay also turn up in small roles in this screwball '80's love letter to the downtown scene.

A Total Blast From The 80's!
I actually got to see this movie at the Bleeker Street Cinema (as mentioned in the cab scene) So stoked to have this finally on DVD, after going through 2 copies of it on VHS tapes. I even still have the trinkets that were given out to promote the film. It is a very funny, enjoyable movie. The characters are all unique with their psychotic quirkiness. The movie truly captures the kitschiness of the 80's. I was a 20-something at that period of time, so I know...I actually got to see this movie at the Bleeker Street Cinema (as mentioned in the cab scene) So stoked to have this finally on DVD, after going through 2 copies of it on VHS tapes.

This Movie Is a Screwball Delight
Rosanna Arquette and Madonna both play Susan in this clever, screwball comedy about mistaken identity. Madonna as Susan accidentally pilfers some ancient Nefertiti earrings while living with a mobster. Rosana Arquette as Roberta accidentally becomes Susan after a bump on the head. She is really a bored New Jersey housewife, who starts reading the personal ads in the newspaper to add some spice to her life. She ends up following a "Desperately Seeking Susan" ad and drives to see who the two lovers are. That is when she accidentally bumps her head in a motorscooter accident and becomes Susan. Two things link the real Susan and the wannabe Susan. A hippie jacket with a pyramid on the back and the Nefertiti earrings. Both become the possessions of Roberta while she thinks that she is ...

She ends up following a "Desperately Seeking Susan" ad and drives to see who the two lovers are. That is when she accidentally bumps her head in a motorscooter accident and becomes Susan. Two things link the real Susan and the wannabe Susan. A hippie jacket with a pyramid on the back and the Nefertiti earrings. Both become the possessions of Roberta while she thinks that she is Susan. Roberta as Susan ends up finding true love with Dez, a film projectionist played by Aidan Quinn. But what about the mobster's killer (Will Patton), who wants the Nefertiti earrings back? If you think that this is all confusing, you will, like me, become so fond of this movie that you will want to watch it at least twice. The script is so clever that you will try to find loopholes in it. But I can't find any. It is a comedy-release for us as well as for Roberta. Acting kudos go to Mark Blum, as Roberta's husband Gary, who is aghast at his wife's disappearance. He is a hot tub business proprietor who is totally engrossed in his business, which leads to Roberta's boredom. Special acting kudos go to Laurie Metcalf (who later became Roseanne's TV sister on that show). In this movie, she plays Gary's sister, who jumps to all kinds of conclusions about Roberta possibly being a lesbian or a prostitute. This was Madonna's first movie and probably her best effort. Her best-selling song "Get Into the Groove" is sung in the background during the movie, and Madonna is very good as the drifter Susan, who can never be pinned down. Rosanna Arquette is especially good too as Roberta/Susan. She has the most footage in the movie, but I think that Madonna shines brighter--just a little.

Meet me, four o'clock, Battery Park. Keep the faith....
Though the story line has been done so many times it's a great film. I'd seen this several times as a teenager and still think of it the same way. This movie really has less to do with Madonna and more to do with Rosanna Arquette. It's hard to imagine anybody not coming across this film but if you haven't it starts out with Roseanna Arquette who plays Roberta Glass, a bored New Jersey housewife, who constantly follows the on-going relationship of Jim and Susan. One day, Roberta decides that she would really like to meet Susan, so she places an add in the paper, telling Susan to meet Roberta at Battery Park in New York City. Susan (played by Madonna) shows up, but is arrested because of cab fair. Roberta is being harassed by some lunatic. After a bump on the head and a bout of amnesia, ...

One day, Roberta decides that she would really like to meet Susan, so she places an add in the paper, telling Susan to meet Roberta at Battery Park in New York City. Susan (played by Madonna) shows up, but is arrested because of cab fair. Roberta is being harassed by some lunatic. After a bump on the head and a bout of amnesia, turns Roberta into Susan. Susan's boyfriend Jim (played by Robert Joy) asks his best friend Dez (played by Aiden Quinn) finds Roberta, but thinks she is Susan. The two become lovers. It's not all that great of a storyline, but the characters are charming enough and the music, of course, is '80's perfect. This film captures perhaps better than any other New York & general American pop culture of the early-to-mid-1980s. Madonna is at her best/(worst?) here, and we get a full helping of the clothes, hair, quirky characters, and great pop music of the era. The supporting actors are great, including Laurie Metcalf as Roberta's uptight sister-in-law and John Turturro as a sleazy night club host. The acting is understated and not over the top- including Madonna, who just seemed to be reading her lines very carefully, but to good effect. Susan Seidelman did an excellent job at directing, too bad she has not done much more! The settings are used to great effect as well, giving you a taste of the exciting East Village and it's suburban opposite Fort Lee, NJ. This great 80's flick will include running audio commentary by the director as well as deleted scenes and an alternate ending, which to me wasn't all that great. Keep your expectations low and you'll have a good time with this one.

Desperately Seeking Susan (DVD, 2000)
In this madcap comedy of errors Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) is the bored young wife of a hot tub salesman, Gary (Mark Blum). He is so consumed with his business, that Roberta spends her time searching the newspapers for personal adds. She is intrigued by one recurring add concerning a rather Bohemian young woman named "Susan" who vicariously lives a gypsy lifestyle. Living in New Jersey, she travels into New York City to run an errand, but more importantly, to witness a clandestine meeting between Susan and her boyfriend Jimmy. All set to watch, Roberta hits her head and is knocked unconscious. When she wakes up, she thinks that she is Susan. This is the start of her madcap adventure.

In this madcap comedy of errors Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) is the bored young wife of a hot tub salesman, Gary (Mark Blum). He is so consumed with his business, that Roberta spends her time searching the newspapers for personal adds. She is intrigued by one recurring add concerning a rather Bohemian young woman named "Susan" who vicariously lives a gypsy lifestyle. Living in New Jersey, she travels into New York City to run an errand, but more importantly, to witness a clandestine meeting between Susan and her boyfriend Jimmy. All set to watch, Roberta hits her head and is knocked unconscious. When she wakes up, she thinks that she is Susan. This is the start of her madcap adventure. Having earlier purchased a sequined jacket with a stylish pyramid on the back that belonged to Susan (Madonna), now other people think that Roberta is Susan. Both being about the same size and age, now Roberta is on the run from gangsters looking for a valuable pair of Egyptian earrings that Susan ripped off. They are priceless. As this comedy of errors continues, the real Susan teams up with Gary to find Roberta. Jumping to all sort of crazy conclusions, both Gary and his sister ponder possibilities that Roberta is possibly a lesbian or even a prostitute. Susan, being a totally moment to moment type of person, begins wearing Roberta's expensive clothing and living it up at her home. This movie is an early snapshot of the life and ways of early 1980's East Village. Here Roberta meets Dez (Aiden Quinn), who becomes Roberta's protector in this confusing twisted plot of mistaken identity, and she winds up finding true love with him. You will have to watch this film more than once to truly unwind this twisted plot.
