Summary: Terrible & Offensive Mistake
Review: This movie was completely and utterly appalling, and I am very disappointed that most of the other reviewers on this website apparently loved it. As an initial matter, Girls Will Be Girls is incredibly offensive. My partner and I rented this film because we were under the impression that it is about three draq queens. It is not. Instead, the basic premise of this movie is that three vapid, dumb, mean, and bitchy women have to learn how to co-exist in the house that they share together in Los Angeles. All three women are played by male actors.The behavior of these women is appalling. They are all mean, nasty, and stupid. One of them is tricked into becoming a prostitute by a man whom she believes is a movie producer. For some reason, she is too stupid to realize that she has become a prostitute. This man orders her to have physical relations with men for money and to give him the money, and she happily complies, not realizing that this is prostitution. Woman number 2, the oldest of the three women, spends the entire ninety minutes of the movie drinking, spouting out obscenities, talking about her son's anatomy, and trying to seduce hapless men. Oh yes, she also intentionally causes a car accident to get insurance money and does not care one bit when woman number 3 (who is in the car) is hurt and hospitalized. Woman number 3 (the middle-aged one, played by a man who wears a terrible wig) is just plain dumb. As a teen, she tries to seduce an abortion doctor. She gets pregnant time and time again and goes to him for an abortion each time, hoping he will fall in love with her. She is depressed when she finds out, finally, that he is married. This is suppose to be funny?! Are you kidding me?! Let's break it down. Would those who liked this film also enjoy the minstrel shows of 100 years ago, in which whites painted their faces black and bounced around the stage trying to act like the then-stereotypical dumb but nice African-Americans?? Or how about a movie showing white people, pretending to be blacks, running around the ghetto pimpin' out? Of course that would be racist and offensive and hopefully such a film will never be made. What about a movie in which a bunch of straight guys are cast to act as effeminate gay men? Would that be cute and funny, too? NO. Why, then, is it ok for a movie like this to be made? Why is it ok for men to prance around in a film acting like stupid, vapid women? How is that funny? What would most women think of this film? If the creators of this movie honestly think this sort of humor is funny, they are miscogenists. The portrayal of women as dumb, vapid, hateful, mean, miserable, scheming, and bitchy little creatures in this movie is offensive. To sum up, the content of this movie is sick and offensive. No one should be subjected to this film, except possibly death row inmates.

Summary: different? What an understatement!
Review: This wildly unapaulagetic 2003 re-make of the classic, Girls will Be Girls is a mixed bag, but the end ends up saving a lot of chaos that the first hour brings. The movie was kinda funny, not drop dead funny but it has some witt. The movie is very different, direction wise and script wise. I think the story is good but most of the scripting is pretty weak (besides the amazing climax). Overall funny, but not quite worth the twenty-five bucks I paid, although the special features made up for some of the movies' non funny slow points...

Summary: Shakespear meets Charles Busch, Wigstock is their love child
Review: When Tennyson penned "The woman's cause is man's: they rise of sink Together" he likely had no idea just how synergistically a cause might co-exist. This delightfully funny film is inspired as much by Shakespear as Charles Busch, for every female portrayed throughout is successfully done so by actors so deft that they are able to effortlessly overcome any and all physical limitations (and there are a few here) which, under less capable hands, might suspend a viewer's belief that these are actually women worth caring about--despite their considerable shortcomings. This is even true of a remarkable five year old actor, who in a brief flashback scene, portrays one of the major characters as a traumatized little girl. The story chonicles the lives of three full blooded women at different stages in life, yet facing the same issues of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Their individual journies converge as they share their lives under one (very 1970's)roof, and embark upon the road to trancendence. Filled with good old fashioned campy, tasteless, low brow humor it is destined to get Jack Plotnick and company on the most wanted list of the Conservative Right/Chirstian Coalition. A must see for anyone who is fed up and fearful of the new wave of humorless conservative tastemakers who seem to be committed to imposing their narrow minded definition of entertainment and acceptability on all Americans--many of whom just want a good old fashioned irreverant laugh, like those they will experience (despite themselves) here. Most striking are the actors, who release us for 80 full minutes from the adversity of human existence, and bring us into a world far more sordid and ever so much more fun than the one see see or read about in the daily news. Their chemistry with one another is simply amazing, and a treat to watch. Also, one must make his or her way through the very entertaining and clever menus, which somehow make this classically campy romp all the more endearing.

Summary: A fun, campy, wonderfully un-PC melodrama about the movies
Review: Young Varla follows in her mother's footsteps and moves to Hollywood to chase her dreams of stardom. She moves in with two other actresses: Coco, trying to find her true love but haunted by dreams of Dr. Perfect; and Evie, an aging actress trying to make a comeback. Along the way, Varla meets Stevie, the handsome son of Evie. He falls in love with her at first sight, but wonders if his "tiny" problem will get in the way of their being together. When Varla gets her big break in a commercial, jealousy rears its head as Evie remembers the shocking and disturbing events that happened between her and Varla's mother, Marla. Is Varla here to thwart her efforts at regaining her stardom? This is a wonderfully campy and un-PC look at the Hollywood dream of making it big in the movies. The story is a little slow in some points, but the actors more than make up for it with their delivery of the catty dialogue and their acting skills. What also makes this a wonderful film is that all the actors are men: from Varla, Coco and Evie to Stevie, the nurse and Dr. Perfect. Jack Plotnick (Evie), Clinton Leupp (Coco), and Jeffrey Robertson (Varla/Marla) are all phenomenal in their roles. And Ron Mathews gives a fine, comic performance as Stevie. The special effects are interesting, too, and quite surprising. The DVD is great, not only because of the extras (like the funny deleted scenes), but each menu has a little routine either by all four of the main leads or by them in groups of two. Special dialogue written and filmed especially for the DVD. The picture is one of the sharpest I've scene, and the sound quality is perfect. For anyone who enjoys a campy, fun movie, this is the perfect one for you!!
