Support the Girls

I really enjoyed this and was very surprised when I saw the negative reviews here. I worked in the service industry when I was younger and so the movie felt very real - it is hard to explain how close you get to others in the team in that sort of workplace, and this movie did an amazing job at presenting it. The acting was wonderful, and each character brought something interesting to the table. However, the pacing is slow, so will probably not please everybody. Recommend to anyone who's ever worked in the service industry before and is looking for a solid drama movie.

I have spent more than half an hour trying hard to figure out what this movie is about. Or who is the main character. Or if there is some evolution of some sort. A badly made reality TV show is usually more entertaining and has better outlined characters.

It's a rare film that showcases the hardships of everyday Americans. Hollywood seems to be too busy nowadays with Superhero films, Sci-fi, Historical dramas etc. and seems to have forgotten about the dreams and hardships of average Americans. This film tries to showcase that, and it succeeded without being overly dramatic. Regina Hall delivered an excellent performance in this film.

I really enjoyed this "day in the life" film portrayal about a bunch of young girls dressed in their skimpy halter tops and hot pant shorts working at an independent sports bar named "Double Whammies" but not for the sexy movie cover of the bar maids as you may think.

I thought Regina Hall's portrayal of the mother hen Sports Bar Manager Lisa was so realistic that I wanted to grab a burger and a beer just to support Regina's girls myself. Three other significant contributions were made by actresses Haley Lu Richardson the effervescent EverReady bunny waitress Maci, young mom Danyelle played by Shayna McHayle, and the recently fired waitress Krista played by AJ Michael's who had a foot long image of basketball legend Steph Curry permanently tattooed on her side ribs with an explanation being "I work in a sports bar".

Adding to the mix of realistic characters was James Le Gros who plays Cubby the bar owner who continually threatens to fire his bar manager Lisa.

No spoilers here but suffice to say the three ladies express their true feelings in the closing scene which reminds me of the hit country song "Take this job and shove it!"

Great film in the day in a life of a sports bar and the patrons who visit on this particular day.

I give the film a more than pleasurable 7 out of 10 rating.

From The Edge of Seventeen, Split, to Columbus and this Support the Girls, Haley Lu Richardson is consistently shining in critically acclaimed features and constantly making progress in acting as a young rising star. In this movie, her role is totally different from her previous ones and she is simply unrecognizable. The performances of Regina Hall are also memorable. This is a hilarious comedy for female audiences.
