Whirlygirl

Its not a big production and we could see more nudity or more romantic scenes, but it is worth to see.

The story of a college boy with strong values such as responsibility who falls in love with a whirly girl. The girl made him forget the consequences and start doing some risky things for her, and actually his attitude changed this girls life who changed her meaningless live and finally found something worth in her life.

It's mainly a romantic story puts the reason and the principles of this boy against his feelings.

I really enjoyed.

Whirlygirl isn't terrible, but it's definitely not memorable. (It's not even engaging, had I not been working on some tedious hand tasks while it was on I would have shut it off.)

If I were 14 I might have thought Whirlygirl was pretty swell. At its core the film is essentially the standard fantasy storyline of a plain boy's life being transformed by an encounter with the exotic.

In Whirlygirl the exotic is the "whirlygirl" herself, an exotic dancer (she doesn't exactly strip) whose erotic dancing skills are legendary. (That seems a ridiculous plot device, even more so considering the film is set in contemporary times.) Boy goes after girl and adventures of one typical type and another ensue.

The adventures in Whirlygirl never really feel all that exciting. The various self discoveries don't feel revealing. The scenes of abandoning yourself to the moment feel like imitations of better films.

Whirlygirly doesn't feel like a story from someone's life, it feels like a film. Setup, plot device, plot device, plot device, cliché supposedly dramatic conclusion. The End.

Despite dipping its toes into drama Whirlygirl is really just a feel good film that's not sickeningly sweet. As such it's a fine film to watch while sick on the couch or stuck in a hotel room that has free HBO.

Whirleygirl stars Julian Morris as a student athlete at a prestigious academy who falls for a stripper who comes to the school to perform. Morris is the straight laced student who figures out how to get a stripper on the grounds to perform. As she is dancing she notices him and gives him a kiss and steals a valuable memento off of him. He actually tracks her down to retrieve his belongings and romance ensues. This is definitely a take off of "Risky Business" but is nice in its own way. Monet Mazur plays the stripper and she does a good job. Morris also does a good job as the good guy torn by his attraction to the free spirted "whirley girl". This is an OK drama and worth viewing.

The movie adopts the classic story of a good boy falling for the bad girl and turning her around from her misguided life. The action is very similar to the movie "The Girl Next Door", doesn't have many strong differences. Anyway it's still a fun-to-watch movie.

On a larger description, this young guy who's studying very hard on a good university falls for a strip dancer when she comes to dance for their little party and kisses him (stealing his watch in the same time). He goes in New York to find her to get his watch back and from from them on she drags him trough many adventures which almost cause him to be expelled out of the university. I won't mention the end not to spoil the movie experience for those who read my comment, but I'll say this, he manages to turn her around but it happens the other way around also. Watch it, it's not a waste of time.

Whirlygirl suffers primarily from a bad script and poor direction. The script lacks the closure of a third act; we are left hanging thinking there needed to be something more. There is a rescuer scene which I guess the director thought would be a climax but the movie has an episodic feel to it.

This film is based on a true story. Well the scriptwriter should have embellished it since true stories do not make compelling films. The lead actor Julian Morris does a decent job with the material but the rest of the cast performances are flat. In fact one of the students, who was acting like he was just waking up had a believability level of zero. Speaking of Morris, I had just watched him in Cry Wolf where he also plays a prep school student and his character seems to have walked out of that slasher movie into this one. Slasher movies can get by without any character development but a film like Whirlygirl requires it.

Hats off to DP Christo Bakalov for delivering some great images to such a hollow story.
