Movie Haiku:Some guy’s looking for his missing girlfriend, so NJ housewife (Arquette) joins the search. The kooky Manhattan chick has no idea she’s being followed, nevertheless, like a sexy White Rabbit, Susan (Madonna) becomes Roberta’s guide on a magical voyage of self-discovery. Ground-breaking feminist comedy transformed Madonna from wannabe to STAR.
