Description: Desperately Seeking Susan is a movie starring Rosanna Arquette, Madonna, and Aidan Quinn. A bored New Jersey suburban housewife's fascination with a kooky character she's read about in the personal columns leads to her being...

Plot: Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) is an unfulfilled suburban housewife living in Fort Lee, New Jersey, who is fascinated by a woman she knows about only by reading messages to and from her in the personals section of a New York City tabloid. Her fascination reaches a peak when an ad, with the headline "Desperately Seeking Susan," seeks a rendezvous in Battery Park with the man who regularly seeks her (Jim, played by Robert Joy). Roberta goes to Battery Park, too, sees the woman (Madonna), and in a series of events involving mistaken identity, amnesia, and other farcical elements, Roberta goes from voyeur to participant in an Alice in Wonderland–style plot, ostensibly motivated by the search for a pair of stolen Egyptian earrings. With both of them trying to locate Roberta, her husband Gary (Mark Blum) encounters the wild Susan.
