Featured reviews
Very real portrayal of how chaotic a day can be on the food industry. A few heart warming moments and seeing Haley Lu is worth your time watching this. This girl oozes sexiness thru every pore. It's a good watch overall, just don't expect anything more than the daily life of a boob bar and its employees.
Not sure what to make of this film. It's branded as a comedy, but it's not funny. As a drama, it lacks a compelling plot and character development. The lead performance by Regina Hall - as others have mentioned - is fantastic. I wish she was in a better film.
Reminiscent of The Florida Project, Waiting and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, but not nearly as self-assured or accomplished as any of those films.

I have spent more than half an hour trying hard to figure out what this movie is about. Or who is the main character. Or if there is some evolution of some sort. A badly made reality TV show is usually more entertaining and has better outlined characters.
Support the Girls: This was an incredibly surprising film in the amount of nuance it contained in its storytelling. It's honesty one of the best screenplays of the year and one of the most pleasant surprised.
I really enjoyed this and was very surprised when I saw the negative reviews here. I worked in the service industry when I was younger and so the movie felt very real - it is hard to explain how close you get to others in the team in that sort of workplace, and this movie did an amazing job at presenting it. The acting was wonderful, and each character brought something interesting to the table. However, the pacing is slow, so will probably not please everybody. Recommend to anyone who's ever worked in the service industry before and is looking for a solid drama movie.
