Support the Girls

Great, realistic plot about the lives of hard working young women. Acting is terrific, situations believeable & characters worth caring about.

The girls were gorgeous but that's it. The story was bland. The writing wasn't good. There was no comedy. This was a big disappointment. Tim Treakle

Support the Girls was pretty boring. There was some good commentary on gender dynamics, but otherwise this was a pretty dismal movie. I think this was suppose to be a female-led workplace comedy, but there were very few laughs to be had. Skip this one, and rewatch Waiting or Office Space.

It's a pretty slow, shallow film; they used to call these B movies. I can't recommend it and would never watch it again. 91%.....Mmmmmm

I love when films show you don't need a big budget, or, even a decent budget to make a good movie. Think; Office Space with hard-working women who put up with far more than they should have to at work.

this lovely, hilarious, and sweet little movie will make your heart melt. regina hall is an icon and haley lu and junglepu$$y are scene stealers.

First off, I see this is categorised as a comedy film - I fail to see where the real laugh out loud typ comedy is in this film, as it tackles some important themes, though there are ocassionally very slightly amusing moments at a stretch I suppose. More than that, I definitely respected the main character, bar manager Lisa (played very well by Regina Hall) who really seems to have her colleagues/co-workers backs, as it were. It's fair to say she's tested by what she faces on the day this film covers and themes covered include sexual assault and violence. This is very much an American film, culturally speaking, set in a 'sports bar with curves' (think a 'Hooters' type bar). I enjoyed seeing the way the girls open up to one another and how Lisa dealt with things. This is a part sobering, ocassionally amusing watch, which is memorable and stands out for one main reason - the way the main character, Lisa, defends and supports her employees and how they help her. It felt somehow refreshing and re-assuring. It isn't a film I'd recommend from a comedy point of view but generally, as a character based drama about female independence, I'd say yes, its worth seeing, so I'd recommend it in that way, yes.

This film offers great insight into the modern experience of life, its highlights and low-lives. It's a parable, really.

Support the Girls is a beautifully quiet statement about feminsim. It's realistic, pragmatic and very human. Lisa is the manager of a sports bar in Texas named Double Whammies. It features skimpily dressed waitresses but she makes sure there are standards in place and treats the girls very well. It's like a family but like most families there is drama. Set over one day we go through the trials and tribulations of Lisa and her girls. She is under threat of firing from a petty owner and are enough little dramas to keep the day interesting. The film has a beautiful energy and as said it stakes its claim for feminism without hitting you over the head. Regina Hall is excellent as Lisa in a sea of good performances. A film to enjoy and admire in full.

Might be Bujalski's best movie yet! Such a great story, great acting, even funny sometimes.
