Summary: THE BEST
Review: Rented the movie, loved it, bought it, and can't stop watching it! This is definately my favorite movie. Sean is so hot in this movie! And Jon Kahn's addition of the music is awesome! Wish there was a soundtrack for this movie! For those of us who fell under the title of "groupie" definately have a flashback from this movie. I feel 17 again everytime I watch it! If you have not seen it, what are you waiting for.....you can't miss this movie! Rent it or buy it, just be sure to see it.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Being a 14-year-old girl, I absolutely loved this movie. It's definitely one of my favorites, but I wouldn't recommend it for a teenage guy or anyone over 25. Dominique Swain does a really good job portraying the main character, Andrea, and the rest of the cast are good too. "Girl" is a must-see film because I'm sure anyone could relate to at least one of the many complex characters involved in Andrea's life.

Summary: The movie "Girl"
Review: Well, i just got done watching this movie, and i'll tell ya, it was great. It tells about a girl coming of age, and falling in love. Although this IS a love story, it's not completely based on that. I recommend this movie and i give it a 4 1/2.

Summary: An actress and a character come of age...
Review: There are two things of note about the movie "Girl".

The first is the story itself. This is a brilliant character study. We are given a wonderful glimpse into the life of Andrea, a young woman coming to grips with her womanhood, her adulthood and her sexuality. She learns, as the film teaches the audience, that while linked the three are distinctly different. Andrea learns to differentiate between the states of her heart, her body and her mind. She learns that she can't allow herself to be ruled by the her emotions, her sexual desires or her pragmatism alone but instead must live her life by holding all three in a delicate balance.

Secondly, this film also marks the maturity of Dominique Swain as an actress. Although Swain was never a child actress in the classic sense of the word, her initial starring role was the remake of the film Lolita. While Lolita was also a mature role, her approach to playing the character was actually somewhat juvenile, as the role demanded in many senses. Here, Swain has shown that she possesses the skills and potential to remain a serious actress for years to come.

The story alone makes this film a 4 star picture. Swain's stellar performance demands that I bump my rating up to a 5.

Summary: A poor interpretation of a good novel!
Review: While the movie Girl has good intentions, it doesn't come close to capturing the spirit of the novel by Blake Nelson. The book, which reads like a diary, spans several years in Andrea Marr's life. Unfortunately, the movie packs the story into less than a year's time, scraps a good portion of the novel, and leaves many characters, if not all the characters, poorly developed. The story and characters will remind you of My So-Called Life. Andrea and Todd Sparrow, played by Sean Patrick Flannery, are a lot like Angela and Jordan. The movie, however, doesn't match the quality of the show.

Dominique Swain is good as Andrea, and the supporting cast, which includes Selma Blair and Tara Reid, is decent, but this movie fails due to bad character development and a choppy story line. Of course, I have read the book so I have trouble reviewing the movie based on it's own merit. If you like this movie, you should definitely read the book, also titled Girl.

Summary: It stuck with me
Review: I loooooved this movie! Dominique Swain was fabulous! Portia DiRossi, the oldest brother from "Malcom in the Middle" and Selma Blair were great too!It was about a teenage girl who was desperate to find love, she thought she knew what it was but finally discovered it when she met Todd Sparrow. You get to watch as she tries to fit in and make friends while winning Todd's heart. The end is perfect and OMG! I can't even describe to you how much this movie meant to me! ............... so take my word, rent it now! ....... I loved it so much and it was just wonderful.

Summary: a wondwerful accident
Review: I accidentally stumbled across this movie and decided to watch it because of Sean Patrick Flannery. I was so captivated with the whole movie, and could totally identify. I think this movie should be seen by all, and will hopefully become a cult classic.. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
