"Yeah, well, fortunately, for everybody, I'm here and I'm thinking." - Susan

Why watch this? A great story of mistaken identity... and misplaced adoration.

Plot Summary: Roberta Glass is a bored New Jersey housewife fascinated with a mysterious woman named Susan, whose life she follows through personal ads in the newspaper. This fascination, and a knock on the head, leads Roberta to be mistaken for the free-spirited Susan. Roberta becomes entangled in a wild mix-up involving some dangerous characters. As Roberta navigates Susan's life, she finds herself discovering more about who she truly wants to be.

Dad's Preview: I love Madonna. She is quite an American success story. She busted her tail to make it. She's all pop-star-diva, brutally honest feminist and rebel against the machine, but she's also a very good actress. She has never strayed away from her sexuality. She is who she is, and I like that. This light, fun film teams her with Rosanna Arquette, who plays a girl who has lost her memory. Though they rarely share the screen, they admire each other from a distance. It's a superb plot to unravel the identity mystery.
