The Girls' Room

Most movies out lately are so redundant. A whole bunch of movies about popular, flawless, fake girls fighting over something lame. Don't get me wrong I have liked some of the more recent releases, but they all have the same stuff in it. The Girls' Room was so...GREAT! It was super easy to follow. And I think everyone could relate to some part of it, whether it was a character or a situation. I can't even name a favorite part, there were a ton. Every time it came on cable premiums, I was watching it. I made my best friend watch it and now, it's one of her favorites too. So to all of you who hated it... how nice, how nice, how very very nice.

I saw this movie on Showtime, and it was actually pretty great. The plot is pretty simple: Revenge. The two actesses are great. Soliel Moon Frye and Cat Taber play room mates who are sorely mismatched and Wil Wheaton plays Cat Tabers soon to be hubby. Good acting, engaging plot, and characters, great for a rental or catch it on cable. It is thoroughly enjoyable.

Not many people have seen this, it's sort of an indie flick, and that's a shame.

bad acting, bad southern accents, inconsistent cinematography, horrible script...

I was looking forward to this film at a recent film festival and was so discouraged after seeing it. It contains quote/unquote name talent, but they do not deliver. Of course the basis for this is the uneven and uninteresting story that is told.

don't bother

"The Girls' Room" is a surprisingly engaging little indie "sleeper" about two college seniors and roomies. One is a proper and privileged Southern Bell "have" (Taber) and the other a pot smoking, beer drinking, sexually active "have-not" (Frye aka Punky Brewster). The plot is about the inevitable conflict and competition which, after much ado involving friends and guys and girl issues, results in both learning more about themselves through each other. The film manages an even tone, avoids the usual excesses of filmdom, and communicates an important subliminal message about how, though we all may take different paths through life, we can learn from each other and arrive at the same destination of self-actualization realizing a happiness as unique as ourselves. A pleasure to watch and highly recommendable, especially for females. (B)

what is this movie about? - that's what you'll be saying to yourself throughout most of the movie. The acting SUCKS, the soap opera score and 80's music semi montage scene's only hurt the film, you don't beleive a thing the characters are doing, it all appears to be forced emotions. As far as giving it credit for low-budget film making, I give them credit for only getting this horrible movie made, the editing sucks, the cinematography is mediocre, and the script f***ing blows, "I have to do this page" fade to black, fade in hang out with your room mate all of a sudden in 15 seconds she turns into satan for revenge, this movie is almost as bad as my spelling
