Member Rating:  
The confessional, behind-the-scenes showbiz melodrama goes under the knife -- so to speak -- in this drag comedy. Girls Will Be Girls casts three male performers in the roles of Evie Harris (Jack Plotnick), a has-been starlet of the '70s who has since gone to seed in her decaying Hollywood home; her best friend and domestic servant, Coco (Clinton Leupp); and Varla (Jeffrey Roberson), the daughter of a deceased peer/rival of Evie's who shows up to rent out a room in her home. The tension among the trio of women escalates as Evie prepares for a pull-out-all-the-stops television special commemorating her past career glories, which include sundry disaster movies and TV variety shows. What Evie doesn't know is that the naïve-seeming Varla has a debt to settle for her deceased mom, and will stop at nothing to seek vengeance. All three lead actors developed their characters in stage shows and cabaret acts; writer/director Richard Day wrote for such television shows as Ellen and The Larry Sanders Show before helming this film, his debut. After its 2003 Sundance premiere, Girls Will Be Girls was acquired by IFC Films for a theatrical release. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

    The main thing is you do not want to take this movie to seriously. It is above all, one of the funniest films I have seen in a very long time. I originally saw Varla in P-Town and heard about this movie. I wasn't sure about it until I actually saw it. Bravo to the producers and directors. Well written and directed. You will have no issues in renting this one.

    Put your children to bed or arrange a play date. This movie pleasantly surprised me. It was hilarious. There were so many funny lines in the movie that I had to laugh quietly so that I didn't miss the next one. The story was typical of a 1950's melodrama, but so much more outrageous (and nasty). For those interested, the men in this movie are very attractive. For the less secure man/woman, there are absolutely no women in this movie (all the women's roles are played by men).

    Having seen Varla Jean in person at the Hartford Stage a few years back in A Holiday Ham, we just had to see this movie. Varlas' acting was the best out of the entire cast. Funny movie; some great lines. It's worth a peek!
