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

Variety
...A terrifically genial New York City farce....Arquette and Madonna are delights, as is each member of the huge supporting cast...
New York Times
The movie was a vehicle for Rosanna Arquette, but Madonna danced away with it...
Rolling Stone
A few scenes are very funny, but the picture would have worked much better if Seidelman had thrown away half the dialogue and built some momentum.

New York Magazine/Vulture
An attractive, energetic young cast and some witty, off-center visual humor make the resultant laughs more than worth the wait.

Hollywood Reporter
...Endearingly hilarious....DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN is a lark, an exhilarating celebration of people who have the good sense to be in touch with themselves and with each other...
Los Angeles Times
More central to the popularity of "Susan" is the way it allows the audience to feel hip.

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.
