Girls Wanna Have Fun (1984)

Girls Wanna Have Fun: Directed by Marisa Silver. With Sarah Boyd, Rainbow Harvest, Neill Barry, Alyssa Milano. Twelve-year-old Lonnie Sloan is a well-to-do New York rich kid and Karen Bruckner is the more ordinary, impoverished New York kid. They happen to meet one day on the street in their neighborhood and hit it off.

“This is a story of a friendship between an unlikely pair but kids donu0026#39;t care. One young girl comes from a well-bred upper class family and another girl is a street smart daughter of a New York apt. building super. They learn from one another about a different culture and the dialog is fantastic – extremely believable. Iu0026#39;m sorry the overall rating this movie received was so mediocre. The low scores were obviously given by persons out of touch with real life, especially from the perspective of a young girl.”
