Synopsis

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
studythecosmos I saw Girl when i was in 8th grade and i loved it, in my small town the underground music scene was really popular too. Most importantly the music in the film was GREAT! John Kahn's voice is so haunting and soulful, his music couldn't have fit the movie more perfectly! I loved how the movie put Andera's heartache out in the open, i feel in a way it was a good lesson for girls, Todd Sparrow possessed every trait in a man i find repellent for the simple purpose that everything i find repellent is everything i cant resist....well see the movie and you'll know what i mean, both characters had their own stories .The storyline was a bit redundant but what girl doesn't wish they were Andrea? The only thing i wish would have been different was the ending, i mean.... leave Todd Sparrow?! so to say the least the movie was great! If anyone knows where i can get the soundtrack please let me know!!!!!
ricocaseksgirl I had really been hoping that the movie would be at least half as good as the book, because I absolutely love the book and have read it a ridiculous amount of times. The movie completely changed the story, the characters, and just the general feel of the book. It turned Andrea Marr into this annoying, air-headed teenage girl with no depth, Todd Sparrow into a clean-cut pretty boy who sang boring music, and Cybil into...well, a Tara Reid character. The book even emphasizes the fact that Cybil is shy, and that Andrea is shocked when she just wears a shirt that shows a little bit of her stomach, and in the movie she's hardly wearing any clothes at all. I think I'd be less offended by the movie being like a 90 minute episode of My So-Called Life if it didn't mention that it was based on the Blake Nelson book. But ah well. Those are just a few thoughts.
maryhotchika I think this movie is a wonderful one. I just love Sean Patrick Flannery. I think he looks his best in this movie. I liked him as a rocker u know. Does anyone know if that was really him singing. I just wish he wasn't that old, because i definitely would want to date him. He has this great personality in this movie. I wish i was an actress or at least be able to meet him. I think he would be a really awesome person to get to know. I think my favirote part of this movie is when they are at the woodstock kind of thing and he pulls her up on stage and then kisses her it was so sweet and i also liked his say ''everything will be alright'' Well i guess this wraps it up. I guess i'm extremely one of Sean Patrick Flannery's fan.
laura-339 Do yourself a favor and read the book before you try to watch this movie. After watching it I felt like they tried to turn this incredible and moving work of fiction into an episode of My So-Called Life. The book this screenplay is loosely based on is so much more powerful than this bland film version. The main character was heinously miscast, she brings no depth to the role whatsoever. You end up being annoyed by her, instead of identifying with her in any meaningful way. And you never find out enough about the supporting cast to understand what's going on with them. In my opinion the entire point of the novel was completely missed. I was terribly disappointed.
