The Wilde Girls

Chloe Rose is great! Her acting and her singing were much much better than I had expected. Olivia did a wonderful job. I think this is her best role yet. This is a must see for all Olivia fans....actually, for everyone. Swoosie was hilarious. The music was awesome. I cannot get the songs out of my head. I wish there was a soundtrack!!!

Is this a hit, no. It's more like a Halkmark movie. Olivia, Swoozie and Chloe acted fine. Of course, Olivia music is loved, as a decades long fan, I didn't mind the new music. Chloe has talent, nice voice, acting not bad. Glad to know she has fought all her demons she struggled with growing up. I enjoyed it more than expected. With Olivia's anniversary of her death approaching, her music and movies have popped up in my YouTube feed. Just saw a Christmas one that was adorable... Chloe was also in it, much younger. I grew up with Olivia on the 70's-80's, sad to hear she lost her battle with breast cancer.

This comment is for the above comments from DAVID and GEORGE. First off, I used to go anti-private investigator meetings. You know what our motto was George and David? Our motto was "Don't be a dick". Now, as for "The Wilde Girls", what were you expecting? Action and people getting shot in their heads? This is a movie with Olivia Newton John and her Daughter Chloe for God's sakes! You expect things like singing to animals and occasional mushiness! You guys, freeking shape up, cuz we don't need you men! LOL

This is a pleasant film. I can't imagine anyone hating it or loving it. It is jarring to see Olivia and Chloe have such harsh words for each other's characters in their arguments, but that's as high as the stakes get. We know Izzy's not going to get in any major trouble in L.A., and we know her father isn't going to turn out to be horrible man. Therefore, Swoosie Kurtz's character ends up providing "comic relief" where not much relief is needed. Maybe a wackier story line would have been if Jasmine had a son and he went off to L.A. to be a drag queen, but that wouldn't have been a showcase for Chloe. So what we have is a kinda funny, kinda dramatic mother-daughter story with music as a backdrop. This film may not be gripping or hilarious, but the target audience (pre-teen girls, Olivia fans, gay men) will find it enjoyable, and most others should find something to like about it. A few of them might even view it again.

This isn't a great film, I'll admit, but I have seen worse.

My only issue with this film is that Chloe Rose, the girl who plays the singer in the film, really isn't a very good singer - I find her Mariah Carey-esque warbling a bit grating. Still, she plays the part quite well and luckily there isn't too much singing.

Olivia Newton-John doesn't do herself justice in this role - but not every part can match Sandy in Grease I suppose, and she does do okay in it. I much prefer her singing to that of Chloe Rose's.

It is a bit of a generalization, but I would suggest this is a nice film to be watched by a mother and daughter - a silly, light-hearted film, semi-dramatic and quite heart-warming. Don't expect much or look at it too critically - it is only 90 minutes long and it is nice enough.
