32 LISTS
In Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a high school gymnast with dreams of dance stardom. When her family relocates to Chicago, she meets the rebellious Lynn Stone (Helen Hunt). Together, they audition for a spot on Dance TV, a coveted local show. The film unfolds as an 80s-themed comedic romp through teen life, competition, and friendship. Despite strict parents and scheming rivals like Natalie Sands (Holly Gagnier), Janey remains determined. This light-hearted comedy-drama is a nod to the vibrant pop culture of its era.
