Product Description
From Amazon.com
Director Marita Giovanni's gay romantic comedy suffers all the earmarks of low-budget cinema--some uncertain performances, pedestrian plotting, and a bad theme song--and, despite some comic observation, never completely recovers from them. Loretta (Nancy Allison Wolfe) and Rachael (Liza D'Agostino) meet at a lesbian pit stop in Los Angeles, fall in love, and cause each other misery. Wolfe, playing a Woody Allen-ish neurotic, has a way with screenwriter Lauran Hoffman's wit and supplies most of the film's passing pleasures. The characters' emotions, however, soon seem to change from second to second: the pair hooks up scant minutes after the opening, then spends every following moment running romantically hot-and-cold. Somewhere around the halfway point the film loses its mind, with off-key dramatics and some truly awful therapeutic dialogue (Loretta realizes "I really want to love me"). This may be an ode to human fickleness, but it's woefully out of control in these hands. --Steve Wiecking

Bar Girls
Nov 11 2002
Format:DVD
Although I would have to agree that Bar Girls was far from one of the best movies I've ever seen. I would have to say that it was at least better than Go Fish. You couldn't pay me to watch that one again.

Awful - don't waste your money
July 4 2002
Format:DVD
Terrible acting, and screenplay. We're so starved for [lesbian] movies, we sat through it anyway - but it's really lousy. What a disapointment.

avoid it!
April 17 2004
Format:DVD
I was terribly disappointed by this film. The sound, screenplay, acting and direction are all terrible. Everything about it just screams low budget. It has the quality of a home video created in someone's basement. This is a film to avoid!

Worst Lesbian Film Ever!
Like most lesbians...whenever a film is produced that may end up having a lesbian storyline...I'm one of the first ones in line to see it. Read more

Needs a screenwriter!
This was obviously a play that was converted to a movie without benefit of a decent screenplay. What worked on stage seems very stiff and awkward on the screen. Read more

a classic but cute lesbian film
I liked it, I thought it was funny and a little bit mixed up but it was cute and a classic out of a lesbian film. This was not one of the best but it was pretty good.

I had much higher expectations for this film...
I was severely dissippointed by this video. It was one of the first lesbian films I rented after coming out and I was horrified. Read more

Interesting
Director Marita Giovanni's film is based on a play by Lauran Hoffman. Hoffman's material may get tied up in psychobabble but she has an ear for entertaining dialogue and... Read more

Not that great
I was disappointed. After reading positive reviews I felt the storyline was dumb, the acting poor and the relationships unbelievable. Rent before you buy.
