Critic Reviews
But even from an objective viewpoint, Girls Just Want to Have Fun isn’t really a bad film, at least not in the ways in which we tend to define bad films. The acting is more than competent, there’s not much glaringly bad dialogue, the humor is inventive, and the song-and-dance is engaging.

But unlike most teen dance films, Girls Just Want to Have Fun does not dwell over long on boogie, even though it motivates the plot and allows the filmmakers to show off beautiful young bodies. Metter and his associates know that, finally, sizzle must also have steak. Or at least ground round. [11 May 1985, p.C7]
But what's the excuse for the film's script? What we get is a reworking
of "Flashdance" and "Footlose" into a routine story about a couple of high
school kids who want to become regular dancers on a show called "Dance TV,"
or "DTV" for short. [10 May 1985, p.LN]
As a movie for today's girls, it's more than offensive. It's cheap. [11 May 1985]
