A Street in Palermo
A Street in Palermo
Shut inside their cars, two women face off in a silent duel that is fought out in the intimate violence of their stares. A wholly female duel punctuated by the refusal to drink, eat and sleep; more obstinate than the sun of Palermo and more stubborn than the ferocity of the men who surround them. For, as in every duel, it is a question of life or death... It’s a Sunday afternoon. The sirocco is blowing pitilessly in Palermo when Rosa and Clara lose their way in the streets of the city and end up in a sort of alley: Via Castellana Bandiera. At the same moment, another car driven by Samira, crammed with members of the Calafiore family, arrives from the opposite direction and enters the same street.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I think I've never voted 1 for a movie here at IMDb until now. The idea is interesting, and that's what drove me into watching Some girl(s). This story is about a self-centered guy who is apparently trying to make amends. Horrible. As if the character wasn't appalling enough, Adam Brody's acting is abominable. The girls are awesome, but Adam is on screen ALL THE TIME. There's one scene in which one of the ex-girlfriends (I won't say who, so I don't spoil anything) says that someone has cancer. Brody's acting is so bad that I laughed at the situation. His face, his reactions, his body language.... Just awful. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!

When watching this movie you should keep in mind that your time is precious and cannot be relived. What's the point of this movie? There isn't one. This was literally the worse movie I've EVER seen! The whole movie I was bored out my mind, I only continued watching because I had to know how it ended. The whole movie just felt like a dragged out introduction to something that never happened. The main character just goes around seeing these girls and nothing happens. He just sees his past lovers then goes home. Don't bother watching.. not even of there's nothing else to watch. Btw I only gave this a 1 out pf 10 because there's nothing lower!

I haven't seen this all the way through but I have seen bits and pieces periodically on cable, including repeated viewings of portions. Brody goes on a tour as it were of some past girlfriends and other lovers right before he is scheduled to get married. Why does he do this? What is his purpose? He would have you believe that he wants to make amends for those he harmed along the way, or could it be that he wants a final shot at each? Hard to tell (well for some maybe) but as he goes along, ala The Swimmer, we begin to learn more and more about who he really is. Kristen Bell is also welcome but I thought Zoe Kazan as Reggie was just magical. Nice work.

In my opinion, Neil LaBute's latest film just ends up amounting to pretentious babble. He wrote the screenplay, based on his stage play, but the direction here is done by Daisy von Scherler Mayer.Prior to his impending marriage, Adam Brody (he's given no name in the movie) is traveling around the country trying to find and meet with five women from his past that's he's selected. Apparently, he feels he's wronged them in some way and is trying to make sure all can be forgiven and forgotten. He's a teacher and writer, with his latest article, in The New Yorker magazine, on his relationships with women receiving lots of acclaim and even getting him a movie deal.The five women he meets, in order of appearance are Jennifer Morrison, Mia Maestro, Emily Watson, Zoe Kazan, and Kristen Bell. All these actresses are very talented and perform well in their meeting with Brody, with Bell's performance a real stand-out, in my opinion.However, we soon see that these attempted amends by Brody are half-hearted and insincere, not honest attempts like you might find in a 12-step program. The conversations end up being very awkward, talky, at times mean-spirited, and quite pretentious.Very late in the film, we get a twist in the plot that makes the whole film just seem even more seamy and ugly.I would say, although this may work better on stage, it doesn't have the sharp and cohesive dialog to work on screen, and never meshed for me as entertainment. A disappointment from Neil LaBute.
