Description

In STAR-SPANGLED GIRL, campus newspaper editors Andy Hobart (Roberts) and Norman Cornell (Susman) are two self-proclaimed radicals who work for an underground newspaper. Meeting the perfectly perky `Girl Next Girl,' Amy Cooper (Duncan), the two leftists find themselves falling inexplicably in love with the girl whose good old American pie ideals are the very antitheses of them.

Customer Reviews:

Not one of Neil Simon's best but still entertaining.......2006-05-22

"Star Spangled Girl" was one of many Neil Simon movies in the 70s. It doesn't compete with "The Odd Couple" or even "Seems Like Old Times" which have better scripts and don't seem as dated.

This movie is straight out of the 70s-- very reminiscent of the "Mary Tyler Moore" show or "Love American Style." In fact, it seems more like a made-for-TV movie now than a theatre release.

That said, it's a cute romantic comedy-- Sandy Duncan and Tony Roberts are enjoyable, and it's fun to note the classic 70s dress, storyline (the 2 leading men produce an underground newspaper while Sandy Duncan is a flag-waving Olympic swimmer), and music. Davy Jones (of the Monkees) sings the theme song.

Is it a great movie? No. In fact, some will probably find it annoying. But if you can handle "cute" there are some classic Neil Simon funny lines, it's G-rated so it's safe to watch with kids (although it's probably too talky for them), and it's worth the bargain price if it sounds at all appealing to you.

Davy Jones, brady bunch.......2004-09-26

TV land is running a Brady Bunch marathon, I have not seen this movie but I do know that the song "Girl" that Davy Jones of the Monkees sings on the Brady Bunch episode where he meets Marcia Brady, was cut for The Star Spangled Girl, with Sandy Duncan. Marcia is president of the Davey Jones fanclub, also the Peppermint Trolley gang sang the original Brady Bunch theme, written by Sherwood Shwartz at home on his piano with one finger. I have not seen this movie, but it looks good, like a piece of candy, I recomend giving it a try. Garry Hixon, Mirror Vision Inc. The first surround vision.
