Overview

Margo, Kelly, and CeCe have three things in common: they're roomates, they're gorgeous, and they're hooked on the glamour and excitement of L.A.'s rock and roll night life. When they get mixed up with a rock star, an arrogant ex-boyfriend, a pseudo-sadist, and the nicest nerd in The City Of Angels, it's a full night to say the least!

Doing what modern girls do evidently, which consists mainly of making new wave noises according to last month's fashion and listening to the assorted techno-pop bands on the sound track.

Pat Graham, Chicago Reader

It isn't worth seeing, but it might be worth putting in a time capsule, right beside ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'' Twenty years from now, no one will believe life was ever lived this way.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

Here's a movie without a brain in its head about three young women with no brains in theirs.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
