Girlfriend from Hell (1989)

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Disappointing Continuation

The acting in this movie is really good.

Yea... yea... I know its not a politically correct "I wanna change the world" movie.Nor...is it written by some Ivytower "I'm smarter than you" elite Hollywood snob writer/producer with a mega budget.Just because a movie is not pushing the latest agenda from some crybaby group doesn't make it trash.I myself found this movie to be very amusing and entertaining.I will admit I have a soft spot for corny, freespirted,funny,and happy go lucky movies from the 80's being I was was in my mid 20s in the late 80's.Unlike the movies that followed in the mid 90's. They are mostly dark and gloomy with dysfunctional prozac taking misfit freaks crying about something or acting like a reject hiphop simpleton punk losers with 50 word vocabularies portraying disgusting anti social behavior.Boys are portrayed as emasculated and girls are portrayed as trashy sluts who are smarter and just as strong as men.How PERVERTED !Good job feminist movement ! Little do you know but your perverted agenda has set the womens movement back!Now young girls are portrayed in movies acting like men !!!They have no self respect for themselves they deface their bodies "Trampstamps" They dress like cheap sluts on the corner. They sleep with whomever and speak like illiterate fools spewing vulgarities.So in other words they act like men.LOL Good job you demented angry fools!!! OK... back to the movie!This movie came out at a time when the political correct straight jacket was being thrust upon us by every intolerant whining group from A to Z. Just another reason why this movie was so funny by making fun of some of these soon to be ridiculous hot button gender issues to come in the loser mid 90's too the present.It's funny and sad that this goof ball movie that was pointing out and making fun of these issues is now reality.Just look at the foolishness on T.V.Women fighting fist to cuff with men.It's absolute perversion!Its the main reason I don't watch TV. I haven't in over five years.Total perverted trash oozing from the demented sewer pipe of Hollywood.OK...My mind needs a break from this insanity!I'm going to pop in Girlfriend from hell and laugh from start to finish.Oh yeah,even the closing credits of this movie are funny as all heck.Check them out sometime.

hilarious horror/comedy is juts stupid but funny stupid and it has awful acting but that is just part of it's charm and a i found out one of the guy's in the movie invented the condom!!!!!!!!!!!!! a worthwhile rental bring a few buddies over and have some beer and a couple of pizzas to boot *** out of 5

...which is that if "nothing interesting happens in the first fifteen minutes, forget it." And this movie unfortunately, is slow, ponderous, and incredibly plodding right up until the Devil possesses former wallflower Maggie and turns her into...well, what you'd expect in any female incarnation of the Devil NOT being played by Linda Blair. Wild 80's hairstyle and all. Even if it's a 1990 film. Sure, it's a dumb movie...over-acted, weird script, dumb plot, but...once Maggie becomes "The Devil" and the "Chaser" (who not only has some great one-liners ["Yeah, I met God. He's a lot shorter in person."] and also has the great running joke of his trenchcoat that seems to have at least one of everything in it somewhere...blow-up doll, six-pack of beer, roll of toilet paper, who knows what else...) starts coming after her, it turns out to be pretty darn funny. While the "Franks and Beans" joke is pretty lame and badly set up, what immediately follows (the "Rambo Nuns") is a riot. Not worth killing yourself to get a copy of, but worth a look if you're in a weird mood.

They say that if you put a thousand monkeys on a typewriter for a thousand years, they would eventually write Shakespeare. In the case of this movie, I think they let 5 monkeys type for 5 minutes and out came the screenplay of this film. This movie is labelled as a comedy, but it seems like the director didn't get the joke. It seems like he actually tried to make this drivel into some type of serious film. This movie is a strong candidate for a future MST3K episode... The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that the soundtrack really rocks! In fact, you can't wait for the movie to end and hear that closing track....
