Lady-Like

Who paid people to act and produce this? I'd be embarrassed to be connected to Lady Like

A group of students share a house living pretty chaotically. Allie (Stephanie Simbari) encourages her best friend Kort (Kortney played by Allie Gallerani) to pursue Daniel. Allie (the character) finds herself getting jealous when the new couple start to date. While Daniel and Kort are spending more time together, Allie struggles to face up to how little she's actually achieving on her own.

While the acting is generally strong, as someone not living in the US, I found the diction and accent hard to follow for the first fifteen minutes or so - this was especially true of Stephanie Simbari. While things improve as we move along, Allie does also come over as not such a likeable character. It's quite hard to sympathise with her rather self-indulgent attitudes.

It feels a little as though some reviewers here have marked the film up purely because it comes at student excess from a refreshing angle - the girls' viewpoint. It's true that this is a nice change but it doesn't warrant giving the film 9s or 10s. At the same time it's not a bad film. The 1s and 2s don't make sense either. For me, this is a straight down the middle 5.

5/10

This is absolutely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I love super cheesy rom-coms and fun girlfriend movies, but this....this is absolute crap. I can't even imagine having a friend like Allie (the main lead). She is exactly the kind of friend no one should want and no one should have, and yet it seems the writer was trying to make her somehow relatable and likeable? Not even close. It was very cringe-worthy most of the time. Just an absolutely terrible movie.

About 10 minutes in and this got turned off. Life is too short to watch mediocre movie.

A mix of a rom com and a coming of age tale, this has it's moments mainly due to the strong cast and acting. The plot is pretty straight laced and should resonate with a lot of it's target audience. Girl sets up best friend with dishy guy and has to deal with the consequences of being left to fend for herself. Leads to some recriminations and the final reckoning. Goes down easy.
