Summary: Uninspiring 'Girl"
Review: This movie is about an 18 year old girl --our heroine named Andrea-- who falls in lust and becomes a groupie for a local rock god, and through her misplaced passion she finds herself. And as entertaining as I found the movie to be, I found the plot highly unlikely and the sub-plots (such as the situations with Cybil, Darcy, and especially Greg) to be treated with little or no reverance. Andrea is treated by her supporting characters like some goddess when, if you really look at the persona she presents during the flick to her on screen friends and love interests, she isn't all that unique. I will say that Andrea's thinking process, brought to the viewer through frequent voice overs, brought to light a girl almost completely different than the girl she showed, one witty and fiery and a complete individual. This movie is good for a viewing or two, but it's definately not going to win any awards or rock the world with it's greatness.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gothic Goddess
Review: Okay well...the movie was amazing it showed alot of things that teens go through in there life and it also showed how stronge friendship can be. The up's and downs of loving someone. Wanting what you think you can't have then getting it and finally realizing it wasn't what it seemed. the characters in the movie were amazing Andrea on her path to woman hood and self discovery Cybil discovering herself and her music. I recommend this movie to everyone. my favorite character would have to be cybil I am appsolutly in love with her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious and Great Music
Review: The majority of Dominique Swain's biggest fans don't like this movie because it doesn't display Dom's talent like "Lolita" did. I agree...somewhat, but I still love this movie. Dominique's character, Andrea, is completely different than Lo, and she is still nothing less than convincing. To me, this proves that she is an excellent actress. The cast in this movie is outstanding as well. Sean Patrick Flannery, Portia De Rossi, Selma Blair, and Tara Reid (great role for her) are the big names in this movie, and they all do very nice jobs. But above everything is the music. Jon Kahn, the singer for the *real* band the Color Green directed this movie, and the songs Todd Sparrow sings are Kahn's songs. The songs from this movie ("Girl", "Cybil's Song", "One Step Forward", etc.) can be found at the Color Green's mp3.com website. Their newest CD is also produced by the Wallflowers' Rami Jaffee, and in the end credits of "Girl" Jakob Dylan is given special thanks. Just a little bit of trivia for you.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Thie movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. The cast is also so good..(channon roe,dominique swain,clea duvall,selma blair, portia de rossi, tara reid, sean patrick flanney,and a million other young actors). The movie has a great storyline and is easily relateable..the music is awesome..i now love The Color Green, an some other songs by bands like the Hippos, and Siz Pence None The Richer..this was a great story with a great plot, and who cares if its cliche? its funny, sad, heart warming, and moviing. I LOVE it and everyone i make watch loves it too...give it a chance and you'll see what I mean..the best movie....

Summary: one of the best movies ever!!!!!!!
Review: This movie rocked!! Dominique Swain was awesome as Andrea Marr. This movie is perfect for anyone who has ever loved a band or singer. The world of groupies is an amazing place to visit. Dominique is one of todays best young actresses, check her out in Lolita(the best movie ever) and The Intern, two more sweet movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Girl: Yes, you can find the music for this movie!
Review: I LOVED this movie and was amazed that there was no soundtrack, especially when it centered around a (so-called) 'groupie' and the singer of a band! Finally I discovered that there is music available from The Color Green, apparently formed by Jon Kahn who provides the music that Todd Sparrow performs. Find it at mp3.com. You can order the DAM CD's which play like normal CD's as well as on mp3. 2 songs from the movie 'One Step Forward' and 'Girl' appear on "the color green -- Jon Kahn" [23587] and the song Cybil sings 'Never' plus 'Blood Brothers' and 'Look my way' are on the "the color green -- Acoustic" [71629]. I hope this helps other people who may have loved the music the way I did. Enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sensitive and Realistic
Review: Dominique Swain's portrayal of a groupie is refreshingly youthful and innocent. Sean Patrick Flannery is hot as the boy all fledgling groupies' mothers warn them against. Despite a few teen flick cliches, this film treats the subject with sensitivity and realism, neither minimizing or overly dramatizing the consequences of groupiedom.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: My Thoughts
Review: "Girl" was an okay movie..not the best, but there was something about it that caught me. I really feel it deserves a 3, but because I seem to be fixated on it, it gets an extra star.

The narration was magnificent. I liked the way you could hear Andrea's thoughts. The plot was a bit thin, but the movie managed to survive quite well. The whole groupie aspect was interesting and refreshing. The actors portraying the characters did an excellant job. This is the kind of movie where one can just roll with it. It may not top any best seller's lists, but it's worthy of a few viewings..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Seemingly light and fluffy, but it has a great message!
Review: I thought I'd be a little old for this but I loved it!

YES, there are blatant parallels to "My So-Called Life" Angela-check. Jordan-check. Rayanne-check. Brian Krakow-check. All the pieces are there, but this is a GOOD thing! (Must Dominique Swain look and act so much like Claire Danes in this movie?)

The most important thing, is that, when all is said and done, and we see Andrea lose virginity, come of age, and make an utter fool of herself in the process, she walks away from it all and gets on with her life. This delivers the most important lesson to young girls watching this movie---it's okay to get caught up in it all for a little while, but there comes a time when you grow up and move on. And Andrea learns that the people she most admires, admire her in return. She discovers her own self-worth.

Oh, and all the songs by The Color Green (a real band!) can be found on MP3.com!
