Brooke Shields and her costumes look impeccable. I can't imagine a more perfect looking Brenda Starr (her acting is lacking in areas.) However, the direction is shoddy, the plot an absolute mess leaving lots of questions, and casting choices that don't work. There are a few tiny glimpses into what the film could have been but it ultimately just falls flat, very flat. Shame. Only watch if you are very curious and a comic book enthusiast.
I do think the film would have done better at the box office if it was released in 1987 as planned. Not that it would have changed the final product though.
Again, only watch if you are very curious and a comic book enthusiast.
