Customer Reviews of Girls Will Be Girls
Wicked Fun!!!! I wasn't sure I'd like this film because I'm not a huge drag fan but I have to admit it was very funny! The story centers around three women (all played by men) who are or, at one time have been, in the entertainment business.
All three men give hilarious performances of the women at different stages of the carrers. My favorite was CoCo, a character with a tragic (and comical, for us) love story. If you are looking for something a little bit dark, a lot campy and just plain silly fun, then this is the dvd for you. Invite a few friends over and just have some good laughs!
These Girls Rock!
The mean one-liners and the quality of the ensemble cast already have the ingredients of a cult classic, but the over-the-top visual gags and the bizarre final 20 minutes serve it up as a total original. Jack Plotnick as Evie, Clinton Leupp as Coco, and Jeffrey Roberson as Varla trade on their larger-than-life drag personas to paint a picture of an unhappy (but colorful!) home, sort of a gender-bent "Three's Company" with a badly coiffed Grinch instead of Jack Tripper at its center. Ron Mathews does a great job as the loving son of Evie who gives Varla every little bit he can (and who is really easy on the eyes--what a knockout!). I saw this movie when it first premiered in Seattle, with Jack Plotnick introducing it, and I laughed until I cried. I was surprised it didn't get a longer run in theaters. I preordered the DVD as soon as it was available.
The DVD has funny snippets of dialog among the main characters as you choose from all the menus, and there is a small featurette on how "guys will be girls" through the magic of makeup. Richard Day keeps things moving apace with the writing and direction, and the set design alone (which I understand was mainly shot in Day's own home) is worth pressing the Pause button in several places. From the high-kicking theme song and opening montage through its final scenes, this movie takes you on a bizarre, tasteless, and yet in some ways heartfelt ride. And oh yes, Evie's accidental nudity still cracks me up every time I watch it--I don't care that it's train-wreck terrible, I laugh! This is my new favorite party movie, surpassing "Hedwig" and "Showgirls," which is saying something in my home.
Watch it!
I thought this movie was brilliant, ESPECIALLY for a low-budget project starring drag queens. Funny. Irreverent. Great sets. Great script. Great acting.
If you're uptight and can't take an abortion or rape joke here-and-there, than this is not your thing. But if you're an intelligent person with a sense of humor who is at least mildly urbane, you'll love it. If only for the sets. Or if only for the one liners. Or if only for the performances.
Highly recommended.
