All of this is cause for consistent smiling and a few outright laughs, without ever building to complete comedy.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Director Susan Seidelman guides her cast with a light, enthusiastic touch, never making more out of her frothy material than need be.

New York Times
"Desperately Seeking Susan" (accurately rated PG-13) is a lark, an exhilarating celebration of people who have the good sense to be in touch with themselves and with each other.

The movie was a vehicle for Rosanna Arquette, but Madonna danced away with it...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
Offbeat Susan Seidelman comedy features funny Madonna and Arquette.

[Director] Susan Seidelman's comedy really picks up, with genuinely amusing if not wildly hilarious results.

Product Description:
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.
