She has two good performers on hand who do make the film work a good deal more than it would have without them – Ann Magnuson who has a way of lighting up the entire screen every time she crinkles her eyes in humour and John Malkovich whose dual essayal of the emotionless Jeff and the wide-awake blank innocent Ulysses is an extraordinary chameleon split.

Seidelman never enervates the snowballing comedy of errors with the same kinetic craziness that Desperately Seeking Susan had, although the film’s homilies on love and what women want in life are amiable. Studio Trigger Have Cut a Trailer for Netflix Anime Series Cyberpunk.
It is not what one might call a great comedy, but it is nevertheless a modestly likeable one. Sandwiched in between Desperately Seeking Susan and She-Devil was Making Mr Right. She is not particularly out there forging feminist frontiers, her films never burn with a political anger, they are loose and easy comedies that come from a single working women’s background, freely, sometimes hopelessly, dreaming about finding fulfilment and escaping and at the same time gently laughing at the foibles and frustrations of a modern woman’s lot. Seidelman has alas failed to make another Desperately Seeking Susan – her subsequent films have entirely eluded cinematic releases and she now tends to work in tv.
She went onto make the wholly unlikeable Fay Weldon bastardisation She-Devil (1989) but then faded away. Disappointingly, Seidelman never quite fulfilled her initial promise. After appearing with the likeable Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), which became a reasonable hit, Susan Seidelman was seen as one of the few women directors working in the mainstream during the 1980s.
