Summary: Wonderfully Realistic Tale of 2 Girls in Love
Review: I was absolutely devoured by this film after the first scene. Laurel Holloman (Randy), is breathtaking. As is Nicole Parker (Evie), who you've probably seen in other films, one being "200 Cigarettes". A story of young love and the importance of finding out and embracing who you are. I recommend this movie for anyone, gay or straight. Invite your mate and hit the couch. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll enjoy.

Summary: A cute story of love and friendship
Review: A close friend of mine told me about this movie, and at first I wouldn't really like it. But after I got it, I fell in love with it, and it has since become one of my favorite movies.One of the main reasons that the movie is so good is that the two girls start out not knowing each other, then enter a really sweet friendship, and then a relationship. It really shows a lot of teens in the 1990's, and confronts issues that other movies don't dare. If only because of that, this movie should have five stars. A really sweet date movie.

Summary: Great Coming of AgeFlick
Review: I saw this movie YEARS ago, going to a freebie screening. I recall only that I really thought it was "sweet" in the way it portrayed the two teenagers falling in love (straight or gay). How believable it was, moments of not-so-great acting by others not withstanding, the heart of the movie, the chemistry between the two very young actresses, seemed so sincere. Having recently watched Showtime's new "The L-Word" I was reminded of this film. The actresses playing the L-Word's primary couple do a great job of portraying lesbians (with credit due to storyline & leadership), and I was so floored to find that one of these stars is "Two Girls" own Laurel Holloman. This spurred me to watch this movie again, enjoying it even more with age and an appreciation for innocence of youth, and the knowledge that these two young women have gone on to successful careers (Parker starring in Soul Food, which ironically airs after The L-Word on Sunday nights).

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I completely agree with some of the first reviews that said this movie makes you feel 'warm and fuzzy,' and it's funny too. It's just wonderful.And if you enjoyed this one, rent Trick as well. For me it was really refreshing to see a movie where the "butch" girl is also sensitive and sweet,like me, not all hard and detached. The first time I saw this I was nervous the whole way through it thinking that one of the girls would end up getting gay bashed or something(after watching Boys Don't Cry, I was expecting anything.) Especially since they live like out in the middle of nowhere.I was VERY pleasantly suprised to find out that this movie has nothing much to chew your nails about.Also don't expect there to be much sex, there's one scene, and it's not even very graphic, at all, it's beautiful. This is awesome for anyone who's ever had a crush, or been in love. It's a great TGIF movie, so grab some popcorn, get under the covers, and enjoy!

Summary: Has appeal for heterosexuals too!
Review: I reccently rented this movie and appreciated the way it avoided the overglossed perfect world trap that so many other love movies have stuck themselves in. Also it takes great care to avoid the preachy and heavy handed treatment given to many coming of age novels. The result: a dynamic product that anybody regardless of sexuality can relate to. Sure, the title may make some progressives flinch (after all, how many male chauvinist fantasies have been built on the "amazing lesbian couple" theme, but I was really proud in the way this movie's script was handled and thought the movie was done very respectively and tastefully. These women seek pleasure only for themselves, and not for oogling spectators who would reduce them to an exotic item. They are natural and three dimensional beings who are trying to find their place in the world. I am not very overly emotional about films, so I was unprepared for the crying that followed Evie and Randy's hidding. Because these women dared to be themselves, they encountered tremendous amounts of hatred and fear from their town. Whether it was the director's and writers intention or not, that part of the film was the most dramatic (I did not think it was comedic at all) and reminded me of the many publicized hate crimes against gays and lesbians. Granted the independent nature of the film (as well as the subject matter) made it really difficult to accheive box office sucess, but the world's loss is the gain of devoted fans of all backgrounds who know caring relationships when we see it. Apparently our society is well in need of a wake up call that heterosexuality does not neccesarily equal a great and stable relationship.

Summary: Very Pleasantly Surprised
Review: I'm as straight as they come, got my man and baby and everything. So I wasn't really sure how I would feel about this film.I thought,"Hey I'm either gonna love it or be really wierded out." But 'Two Girls In Love' turned out to be excellent. Even though I am straight I really related to the experiences and growing pains that Evie and Randy go through, especially the overall opposition to the relationship. No one wanted me to see my man for various different reasons and like Evie when she told her friends about her & Randy, I also lost a lot of friends because of the guy I was seeing. The bliss between the two of them all throughout the movie and the wonder/joy of your first time making love are all things that I can remember feeling so strongly with my guy. Gay or straight, this movie accurately and poignantly portrays universal themes that everyone experiences; and that is what makes this film so special. I laughed a lot and enjoyed 'Two Girls In Love' very thoroughly. I recommend it to all of you. (By the way-for all gay fans of this movie who live in California, I voted against Prop 22. I thought it was completely unnecessary and unfair.)

Summary: A ... MUST HAVE ... AYE !!!
Review: I was 16 as I remember when I saw this amazing film first. And gotta say it is one of the greatest movie I have ever seen. The music was also very good especially one track which reminds me Pink Floyd's Hey You from The Wall, I guess the guitar rings the same in the film but maybe I just solve the two songs into each other cause the mood of this part of the Wall (Hey You and following few tracks) is the same for me as in the film. This mood this feeling (now I relate on the film) aw this is such a wondering feeling of me. You feel something which is in opposite with the world cause of one thing ... but you feel you are right ... and maybe you are much closer to the essence of things than others ... and the feeling you are to know this is so catartic. You throw some very unnecessary thing away and this makes you feel to be really free, you feel you fly above the world and nothing gonna stop you. And you feel yourself enough strong to break out of the wall and leave the show in which you would have to play a silly roleplay and what's more and this is the point you found a true girlfriend for you and what you feel is the beautest feeling of you which ever can build up in you and you say aw that's what I want that's what I waited for and you feel some miracle is about happen to you and the miracle is your split soul comes to one part and the other just found part is her. And the most distressing feeling that you are only a half is getting away and from only thinking about who and what you found a crawl comes and runs all over your body. This film tells you about a world which if once you found you could never turn back because in this world you find the essence of you, know what I mean. This film tells you about cracking up the door and what's behind drives you to a truly credible world which fully meets the deepest of you. Sex scenes ... well exactly there is no well evolved sex scenes in obscene way but this is the best way to draw well this world. A kiss, a kiss gives the most from you to your lover and that's the beautest way to tell her: my sweet princess you are the one. And both of you feel in fact you are in the doorway of another world ... and you are just lovin and kissin yourselves into it by holdin each other's hand. And the flower of your common soul is just ridin and ridin on to grow upon your hearts. Like the fresh wind blowing a pure morning rising upon you and you, smiling hearts just keep kissin laughing and exulting to each other. And that's what this movie is all about. And highly recommended to stay tuned ...

Summary: Great Movie
Review: This was a great movie! I am 20 years old and when I first saw this I was 16. This movie was everything I was feeling at the time. Im a butch lesbian also. I was proud to have actually seen a decent lesbian film. Boy's Don't Cry also another goodie a tragic one but none the less true in the sense of finding yourself and being who you are no matter what. This is a movie I wouldnt mind seeing a plethora of times. Bound is also a good one. Jennifer Tilly plays one sexy seductive lesbian. Whew! Give it a go. You may actually find yourself saying awww.

Summary: For a standard, it sits on the shelf a lot
Review: "Incredibly True Adventures" is a great coming-of-age-as-a-lesbian movie. It's easy to relate to because many of us can identify very closely with the circumstances of these girls' lives. It makes sense that a lot of young lesbian know, and love, this film. On the first viewing, it provides plenty of giggles, suspense, and the sense of belonging that questioning teens can get from a movie like this. I, for one, felt a lot better after I watched this at 16. Now that it's been a while, it's just cute. The love scenes are great if you're in it for the sweetness, neither of the girls are that attractive, and it kind of seems like the femme one will eventually cast off her new lifestyle. Viewing a lot of other lesbian flicks made this one, therefore, seem average in a lot of ways. My friends and I own this, but it very rarely gets pulled off the shelf. It's absolutely worth watching, but don't be in a rush to buy it. Bottom Line:
Cuddles: ****
Tissues: *
Hotness: **
Laughs: ***
Quality: ***
If a friend owns it, they won't mind letting you borrow it.

Summary: Realistic and romantic with all the warm and fuzzy extras!
Review: I adore this movie, it remains my favorite lesbian love story to date. This movie may involve two girls falling in love but it carries the basic " new relationship" events into its theme. First crushes, first kisses, first intimate encounters and more. If you are a fan of the "warm and fuzzy" type love stories, this movie is for you.
