 So, are you a woman yet? February 5, 2010
Christ why (Utah)
I came across this movie by pure happenstance. There was a trailer at the beginning of another movie I bought and was intrigued by the preview I saw. I bought a VHS copy a few months later and I was shocked at how much I loved it instantly. Andrea's uncensored stream of consciousness starkly contrasting what comes out of her mouth hits a spot of truth for me. (I.E. When Andrea first meets Todd and he asks if she wants to go to a party her inner monologue says "I would be unavailable now, Shrouded in mystery. He'd always wonder what happened to that girl who had to go to the bathroom." but out loud she says "Yes I do.")
I've found myself living as Andrea Marr. I've become involved with musicians in my local music scene and been unable to see past that to the bigger picture. I love that she's a smart girl but can't seem to get it together in the boy department. I love Rebecca Farnhurst and Cybil and especially Todd. Sean Patrick Flannery is amazing as Todd. The typical brooding artist who doesn't realize his muse until he loses her.
If you loved the book and can't imagine Andrea in any other way I wouldn't recommend this movie. Dominique Swain portrays her very differently than the Andrea in the book. All of the characters have the same names but not much else. The movie is much funnier than the book. I was a little disappointed when I first read the book (having seen the movie first) but I've come to love it in it's own right. I look at the movie and the book as two separate entities because that's what they are. Turning a book into a movie is always tricky and things need to be edited and changed to fit the format of a movie and I understand that not everyone loves the end result.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE. I STUMBLED UPON IT LATE ON HBO ONE NIGHT AND HAD TO HAVE IT. IF YOU ARE FEELING A LITTLE NOSTALGIC FOR THE SEATTLE SCENE THIS IS DEFINETLY THE MOVIE FOR YOU.
Groupie Movie January 4, 2007
M. Groff (Lancaster, PA and NYU)
If you have ever questioned what happens when you're a groupie then this movie might be for you. It's not perfect. The narration over the movie gets annoying from time to time but it is a coming of age story. It's based off of a book which it doesn't stay true to, but the same basic story is there. It's a good movie for anyone who is interested rock and roll and hot rock stars thne this movie is for you.
Good Movie if not compared to book March 3, 2006

If you are a fan of the book "Girl" you will probably not enjoy this movie. The movie leaves out much of the detail in the book which presented a more together, engrossing, and character-rich story. If you can watch the movie as a separate entity from the book, it is enjoyable. The strong point of the film is the excellent cast of many indie film stars like Selma Blair. Portia De Rossi from Arrested Development also has a role in the film. The film still presents a coming of age story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
