COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Quirky comedy submitted by asopijw65 on August 3, 2014, 11:05am A quirky comedy about female friendship. I enjoyed this film and always appreciate films where the girls are the main characters and the movie is about them becoming friends. Plays out like a rom com with all the familiar tropes, but between two friends!

Great movie submitted by cowmooflage on August 19, 2014, 1:28am I was very surprised by how good this movie is. It definitely feels like a romantic comedy between two best friends. Racy and funny, this movie is all and all fun

Raunchy & Romcom-esque submitted by Meginator on August 12, 2020, 5:18pm This film is a fun twist on the typical rom-com formula, applying a range of familiar tropes and story beats to a friendship instead of a romantic relationship. Despite its raunchy premise and r-rated sense of humor, the core story is surprisingly sweet and the filmmakers happily resist the temptation to trivialize sex work, treating the women’s enterprise as a legitimate business (which it is). The core performances are good, even if much of the character development lacks depth; it often feels like the characters hit the required beats merely because they’re supposed to, not because of any story-based motivation. This film hardly breaks new ground, but it is a lot of fun.
