Nobody is going to mistake "Girlfriend From Hell" for "War of the Roses", but it is at least for the first half, an entertaining "black comedy". The idea of the devil taking over a shy, prudish girls body, and sending her into a frenzy of lust is pretty good. Unfortunately, once "The Chaser" appears to hunt down the devil, things rapidly deteriorate into "Three Stooges" slapstick. Character development is acceptable, and there is some sharp dialog. The opening and closing theme song is memorable, as is the long lasting image of a Nun firing a rocket launcher. In the end, the strong first half is enough to almost overcome the weak conclusion. - MERK

I recently viewed this movie. I was actually entertained throughout the movie. In the beginning it came close to it losing my interest, but if you have got nothing better to do. You'll want to stick around to see what happens, especially when the character chasing the devil comes into the plot. It's deffinetaly one of those crazy films kinda like beatle juice or even Little Monsters. The characters in this film are not well known, but their funny none the less, except for the two nerds they were more or less annoying. Overall would probably watch it again if there was absolutely nothing else on. There are very funny parts in the movie for example a part when the devil is walking down the street. It makes a baby jump out of a stroller and attack it's owner. Another would be when the devil starts to "sleep-around" and possess people. This is more of a comedy then an action or drama flick. It was enjoyed and would be watched again, but some of the characters lacked talent and some scenes were strange. For example when their driving. They are both not wearing seatbelts and the scenery around them does not look real and he barely looks like hes driving. It was clear the actors were more amateur, but still managed to put out a decent twisted comedy anyways.

After buying this movie from a car-boot sale for £2 about 6 years ago, I've watched it so many times and found it even more funnier then next! It's like nothing else out there on the shelves. Maggies hair is hilarious, and Rocco's Girlfiend is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! She plays the part so darn well (laughing to myself as I write this) And causes such an out burst when Rocco burst a balloon! She's a big part in this movie and I don't think it wouldn't have been the same with out her! If you see this movie on TV, she's the one in the yellow shorts with BIG blond hair! Absolutely HILARIOUS! In fact, I'm gonna go watch it now.... see ya! OHHHH LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAA!

They say that if you put a thousand monkeys on a typewriter for a thousand years, they would eventually write Shakespeare. In the case of this movie, I think they let 5 monkeys type for 5 minutes and out came the screenplay of this film. This movie is labelled as a comedy, but it seems like the director didn't get the joke. It seems like he actually tried to make this drivel into some type of serious film. This movie is a strong candidate for a future MST3K episode... The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that the soundtrack really rocks! In fact, you can't wait for the movie to end and hear that closing track....
