Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
An endearing rags-to-riches family comedy of a wandering scam artist and his streetwise, curly-headed sidekick, this guilty pleasure ranks with John Hughes's best films. Curly Sue is the story of the street-hardened yet tender Bill Dancer (Jim Belushi) and orphaned accomplice Curly Sue (Alisan Porter). Curly Sue and Bill scam Grey Ellison (Kelly Lynch), an unsuspecting power attorney, out of a hot meal and a penthouse bed. Grey warms to the adorable Sue and the diamond-in-the-rough Bill and cools to her ruthless profession as the trio begins to feel more like a family. John Getz plays Walker McCormick, Grey's stuffy, affected boyfriend who tries his best to force the vagabonds on to the next train out of Chicago. Belushi is well cast for this role, blending grit and heart nicely, but it's the charming performance of Porter that steals most scenes. Imagine a modern Annie through the witty eye of hit filmmaker Hughes and you have Curly Sue. --Sarah Chace



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Movie!
This is a romantic comedy that everyone should have in their collection. James Belushi did a very good work with this characterization, as the tutor of little Curly Sue. Alisan Porter is so cute, smart and good singer, you fall in love with her instantly. I recommend this movie for everyone in the family!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Movie
I have always like this movie since I was a kid. And the best part is, is it is a great clean family movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If More Comedy/Drama/Family Movies Were This Stunning...
"Curly Sue" has the kind of premise that, usually, end up being only partially realized in movies. They end up good, but with a feeling that they could have been a lot better. In "Curly Sue", the title little girl and her father are homeless people who get by through pulling low-scale little scams - when the dad pretends to, say, be hit by a very expensive-looking car and mildly hurt, the two of them can often end up receiving a sympathy meal at a nice restaurant and perhaps even a place to ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bittersweet comedy-drama
This a great movie. I saw it when it first came out in 1991 and have liked it ever since. It has a bittersweet storyline about a little girl, and her adoptive father who start out by trying to con a single, rich divorce lawyer out of funds, and end up building a family relationship with her. They teach her what it means to have a family and that there are things beyond money and work. She in turn shows them what having a home can really be like. The story is a timeless mix of comedy and drama. Sad ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An endearing comedy with a BIG heart!
"When somebody gives you something to remember them by it means they are going to take off. If they are going to stick around you don't have to have anything to remember them by because they will be there." - Curly Sue

Curly Sue is one of those goose bumps, feel-good, heartwarming movies. While it has its moments of comedy, it is not one of those rolling on the floor laughing out loud movies. It's about a homeless man (John Belushi) who has taken care of this orphan girl, Curly Sue (Alisan ... Read More
