Member Rating:  
Actresses Robin Greenspan and Lacie Harmon used the ups and downs of their real-life romance as the inspiration for this comedy drama about two performers whose real lives are beginning to mirror their latest roles. Robin (Greenspan) is an actress who has been in a deeply committed relationship with Audrey (Katherine Randolph) for six years, while fellow thespian Lacie (Harmon) is not much on commitment and tends to tire of her lovers once the initial excitement wears off. Robin an Lacie have been cast opposite one another as lesbian lovers in a play directed by the wildly flamboyant Gabriel (Dom DeLuise). While they don't get along well at first, an undeniable chemistry develops between Robin and Lacie, and before long they discover they've fallen in love. However, this doesn't entirely happy news; Robin has to decide if she wants to dump Audrey for Lacie, while Lacie has to choose between the freedom of the single life and her feelings for Robin. Based on the play Real Girls, Girl Play also features Mink Stole as Robin's mother, who has little understanding of her daughter's sexual orientation. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Lots of talk and very little acting. Still looking for unrated parts. A ripoff.

    I should have read the review first. I had no idea that this is NOT a movie. If you are interested in hearing about the life of two women who are a little bit wee dramatic for my taste narrates their life, then go for it.

    I wanted to like this movie but had a really hard time with all the talking and not enough doing. The format of talking would have worked as an intro but it ended up being the point of the whole movie. First time I ever cheated on a movie and skipped to the ending. I had to peek at the Special Features, though, and watched the "making of" clip. Now that was interesting! Then I understood why all the talking, because it had started out as monologues in a stage performance and someone thought it would be an interesting way to format the movie version of the same story. The story of how they worked on putting together the movie, getting interesting actors, and finding the funding and producers was fascinating. Too bad the movie wasn't that interesting. Nice idea in concept but just didn't work for me.
