 This week's movie is the 1985 Sarah Jessica Parker classic, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Jump on your motorcycle, practice your dance moves, and put a grasshopper on your head.

 Though she's a talented gymnast, Janie has always followed her strict Army Colonel father's orders and stayed out of the spotlight. However, when she moves to Chicago and meets the carefree Lynne Stone, she disobeys her father for the first time in her life.

With Lynne's encouragement, Janie enters a TV dance competition she's dreamed about her whole life and soon finds herself with both a cute dance partner and an arch rival who is dead set on getting Janie eliminated from the contest. Dun, dun dun.
