Desperately Seeking Susan is written to be a kind of sex–crime–comedy film in the vein of Something Wild and Miami Blues. This is the PG-13, unfunny version of those movies. The script is actually great, but the director doesn’t seem to know this is a comedy. This really could have been hilarious, but it isn’t. Still there are a few highlights: Giancarlo Esposito has a great cameo, Aidan Quinn is gorgeous, and Madonna is perfectly dynamic and sexy and fun (without being funny, because, as I think I’ve noted, this movie is bafflingly unfunny).
