It was funny and when I found out the real-life history of the movie, it made it even better.Plus the behind the scenes (on the DVD) about how the two lesbian producers resisted making the movie because "they didn't do lesbian movies", but they were won over the material was great.The lesbian director seemed to be very talented as well.I found it at blockbuster.com.I loved the parallel execution of the play within the movie, and it didn't hurt that the two actresses were really hot. But it was mostly humorous, and nothing cheesy.

The two most appealing actors ever seen on the big screen + a director whose humanity floods every scene = "Girl Play". This movie is so real, the stars so beautiful, its appeal so universal, that it cannot be seen too often. I saw it in LA and the audience reaction rocked the rafters! When 800 women in a sold-out theater fall in love with Lacie and Robin, the impact is overwhelming. None wanted to leave the theater, as if they thought it would be shown again. And it was, in festivals around the world, and has won its well-earned plethora of prizes. Luckily I was in DC when it screened at Reel Affirmations. The second time was even better. A comic classic that left me smiling and exhorting my friends to see it, for weeks. Don't miss it! (When it comes to NYC in March I will be the first in line.)

The story is well written, the characters engaging. The most original and probably the funniest lesbian movie I've seen in a long time. A powerful story that develops as the characters continue to realize that they are meant to be together. I found myself connecting with the characters, as their love relationship blossomed and they struggled with the emerging feelings for each other. In addition, one character deals with the struggle of coming out to her parents the other struggles with her own demons. I would gladly purchase this movie for my collection. It's one that I could watch again and again. Not only for the laughs, but because it's about real girls. Rosanne

I saw this movie at OutFest in Los Angeles and I have to say as one of the few straight white males in the audience I couldn't have been more involved in the "characters" (in quotes since the movie is based on the actresses' life stories) and their stories. The filmmakers have done such a fantastic job of bringing these women's life stories to 'life' on the big screen in a compelling and hysterical way. I found myself laughing uncontrollably at the situations these women find and get themselves into. But, I was also really impressed at how I was able to relate to their lives and saw similarities to things in my own life. It's pretty amazing that no matter what your race, gender or sexual preference there are moments and things we all go through. But, no matter how poignant and real the story was the most important thing for me was how funny it was. Lacie and Robin's situations and stories are just FUNNY AS HELL and the scenes with Dom DeLuise and his assistant are some of the funniest moments I've seen in a movie theater in a long while. Not to give anything away but the scene with Robin and her mom (played terrifically by Mink Stole) was not only real and but absolutely hilarious. I was completely captivated and really loved this movie from start to finish. I can't wait til it comes out in theaters so I can see it again.
