Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I thought this was in interesting film for the fact that I would have never thought that these two people, Tina from the hit series "The L Word" and Nicole Parker from "Soul Food" Would come together and make a film like this. I thought it was an OK movie it could have been better but it was the 90's so for that I would give it 5 stars. Seeing Tina as a Butch I think I like her better that way, As for Nicole Parker Bravo. I wish the ending had expanded a little more, But as I said it was exciting to see two people at the beginning of there carer that I would have never thought would be put in the same film like this. I'd like to see them in something together again in kinda the same rolls but a little more mature as they are.

The ultimate charm of this movie is that though it is a lesbian movie, it truly is about two teenagers from very different backgrounds falling in love. This is the what the movie is actually about and the lesbian aspect of it is actually almost secondary. Think about it ... replace the girl falling in love with girl concept and replace it with some other socially challenging category (perhaps a cross-culture or cross-religion love story), and it would still work. [In fact, ironically, the director/writer eventually married a guy, much to some people's chagrin! lol]The movie is rough as many an indie film is and the actors are young (this was Nicole Ari Parker's first film) or somewhat amateurish. Still, the basic relationships hold true. The girls and their mom/aunt, the other romances that don't quite work out, and their friends all are believable, though some match up better than others. How Randy and Evie connect through "Leaves of Grass" might be a bit trite, but I believed it -- imagine, a film that respected the power of poetry! And, I did accept them as a couple. Young love is pretty well portrayed, and in fact, how many films these days really portray it? Not too many really -- the films are often more concerned with stereotypical plot complications than the romance, and even those come far and long inbetween. This alone makes the film a pleasure, though the lesbian aspect supplies an additional layer. And as to that layer, this is probably one of the superior films of the genre. To compare, for instance, this is better than "Better Than Chocolate." Again, it can very well be a matter of taste (lol). The ending is a bit silly though, but the scene before the final reel (the mom freaking out) is priceless. Still, the ending suggests that this is first love, not necessarily forever. A good thing too.-jPS It was suggested that this was eye candy for men or just for lesbians. I beg to differ in both respects. There is a quick love scene and mild kissing, but if men want to leer, there are better films in the genre than one that cares so much about character.

Recently, IFC (The Independent Film Channel) has been airing a lot of good films about lesbian relationships. This one, although basically a comedy, is one of the best. The love relationship between the young girls was right on the money... awkward, timid, scary, and full of young lust and true love. The casting of Laurel Holloman and Nicole Ari Parker was perfect. I can't help but wonder if there weren't some real sparks between those two? If I had the chance to recommend this film to anyone, I would do so gladly... as I give this film a 10.

I liked this movie alot, I thought it was funny. I felt bad for the girl when her friends refused to stay friends with her because they found out she was lesbian. I think its good that there are decent lesbian films out there. Gay films get a bad rep when stuff like "Trick" comes around, basically upholding the straight person's stereotypical view of the gay male world (a never-ending 24/7/365 quest to get laid, and then when finding the guy, no privacy...etc etc etc)And then the sex scene. It nearly catapults the film into NC-17. Why did they do that? Why did they feel it was necessary? I mean, it's not just a mild sex scene... they basically show everything. It's wrong, though, a naked female body will get only an R rating, but a naked male gets NC-17. That's because the film industry is male-dominated, and they think that naked male scenes are pornographic, but naked female seens are tasteful. What kind of half-ass logic is that.Bottom line: Good movie, would have been better without such a graphic sex scene.
