Lady-Like

Don't get me wrong, I love our first world, but seriously the writers couldn't show at least one of them with some kind of employment to help get them through school? Zero substance here even for a "comedy?"; what genre was this film supposed to be in?

Easily one of the most cringeworthy movies I have watched. It was painful how bad the screen writing was, with terrible awkward moments and so many parts why I was like whyyyy? Lots of unnecessary scenes, the climax was exceptionally mediocre and the ending was just corny and strange. I wish I get back the hour I spent watching this terrible, corny, trashy, awkward mess!

About 10 minutes in and this got turned off. Life is too short to watch mediocre movie.

A group of students share a house living pretty chaotically. Allie (Stephanie Simbari) encourages her best friend Kort (Kortney played by Allie Gallerani) to pursue Daniel. Allie (the character) finds herself getting jealous when the new couple start to date. While Daniel and Kort are spending more time together, Allie struggles to face up to how little she's actually achieving on her own.

While the acting is generally strong, as someone not living in the US, I found the diction and accent hard to follow for the first fifteen minutes or so - this was especially true of Stephanie Simbari. While things improve as we move along, Allie does also come over as not such a likeable character. It's quite hard to sympathise with her rather self-indulgent attitudes.

It feels a little as though some reviewers here have marked the film up purely because it comes at student excess from a refreshing angle - the girls' viewpoint. It's true that this is a nice change but it doesn't warrant giving the film 9s or 10s. At the same time it's not a bad film. The 1s and 2s don't make sense either. For me, this is a straight down the middle 5.

5/10

*full disclosure* I am 40 and probably not the target demographic of this movie. But I'd like to think that even when I was 20, I would still think this was horrendous. It's as though an old film exec was told that he needed to have a film from a young female perspective and he copied some old 80s sexist misogynistic teen film and switched the genders, so instead of a man being disgusting and objectifying, it was a woman. Hooray for a equality. There was literally no point to this film, there is no story, I didn't care about the characters or the relationships and everyone seemed unpleasant. There is no heart to this film. I don't know why I watch the whole thing, I think I just assumed that there would surely be some point to it. I was wrong.
