The_Film_Cricket There are few movies about lesbians. After seeing this movie and the dreadful 'Bar Girls' I am beginning to believe that there are even few good ones.'The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love' enters into the lives of Randy and Evie two teenage girls on the edge of self-discovery still toying with the notion of what homosexuality is all about. Randy is an honor roll student, always clean and proper but not a snob. Evie is from the other side of the tracks and lives in a big house with her gay aunt and her aunt's lovers past and present. They come from different worlds which naturally means that they are perfect for one another. I know that when adolescents are attracted to one another it can take a long time for them to get together. When they are gay, even longer. But Randy and Evie take so long to get together that when they did, I didn't think the movie had any time to let them get to know one another.Another problem: half the time I couldn't hear what the characters were saying. This is especially illustrated in a scene in which Randy breaks the news to her friends at a fast food joint. They sit on the opposite side of the table from Randy and everyone mumbles in a monotone.The ending is all wrong, taking place at a motel with everyone running back and forth screaming and chattering like a bad Marx brothers routine.The only scene that does work: When Randy and Evie finally have sex, it is done in a wonderfully touching way. The director takes time to allow them to explore one another without the scene seeming like exploitation.I liked Evie and Randy, I just wished that the director had had sense enough to fine tune the film.

Adrasteia It would be wrong for me to say I really disliked this movie. Yes, the acting was weak, and the characters seemed painfully flat at times(Evie's self-ascertaining speeches were terrible-it reminded me of teenage Shakespeare readings, only with worst dialogue), but the movie never really gave you anything to hate. It was a flick, and as a flick it did its job fine.Some parts of the film were just outrageous; Evie's friends were so stereotypical that, unfortunately, they weren't even believable as real people. Defining supportive characters as stereotypes can work really nicely sometimes, but I think the directors in this movie went a little overboard. Either that, or the weak acting failed to portray the characters effectively. It's a toss up, I guess.Now, don't get me wrong. Like I said above, it's a great 'flick'. I couldn't relate to the characters at all, and the relationship between the two girls seemed so unrealistic at times.If you're bored and curious, then please, go ahead and watch this film. It's cute and simple, and sometimes that's a nice escape from other more serious films.

dryteardrops It's 6 am and I wasn't in the mood for TV. I wanted to go back to sleep and the movie seemed like a good thing to help. After the first thirty minutes however; I realized that I was going to watch the movie until the end.The two lead girls had a great chemistry. I say that because I was also involved in an interracial lesbian relationship and they had the same nervous, intense and curious romance that I had. Those two really played out their roles well and the lackluster awkwardness of the story and the other characters didn't disturb their grove.I enjoyed it and recommend it for any young girls or boys that may have some doubts in their sexuality.

junecatpower This movie is one that I can watch over and over again. It is something fresh and new. The screenwriter/director does a great job of bringing many differentaspects of young lesbian existence. For example, by bringing together people of different races, social economic status, and different family make-ups; it opens one's eyes to different possibilities. It is quite opposite of what is usually thought of when one thinks of a gay or lesbian film. This movie does not stay in a box; it busts the box instead. Every time I see this movie, I am able to pick up onsomething that I hadn't seen before. Although this is a movie where you don't really have to think much; I tend to analyze regardles. I found that it is not the what actually happens on the surface that really keeps me coming back formore. It is the intricate underlying messages that the screenwriter/director is trying to get across that engages me.
