I swear this is the funniest movie I've ever seen. I had to stop the dvd a few times because I was laughing so hard. I don't normally write movie reviews, but I had to throw my 2 cents in on this.

It's totally sick twisted humor, so if you are easily offended this is not he movie for you. The behind the scenes thing is interesting and you get to see the three "girls" as boys.

The story is about a young starlet who moves to LA and ends up rooming with a washed up alcoholic has been diva who may or may not have somehow driven her mother to suicide almost 25 years ago! Throw in another roommate who is single and barren, and searching for a doctor who performed a ... procedure on her. Oh yeah! And all female parts are played by men in drag!

I was shocked I loved the hell out of this movie considering it was made in someone's house and starred 3 drag queens. I am not a huge fan of the female illusionist, but here it worked to broaden out the already broad comedy! Seriously picture a real woman after being asked if she's ever had an abortion saying "Honey! I've had more kids ripped out of me than a burning ORPHANAGE!" No, only a man in a frock could deliver that and make you giggle. And giggle and laugh is exactly what I did in this whole film!

It's a hoot! If you like your comedy broad and crass this is your movie! And the special features are not too bad either! You get animated menus with the cast, deleted scenes, a trailer, and a pretty entertaining commentary from the director and cast. IT'S A SPECIMERCIAL! IT'S HUGE!

Sure it was quirky and campy... and even more rude than SOUTH PARK... but it had heart.

I've seen Jack Plotnick in small character roles for many years, so it was really nice to see him in a leading role. Clinton Leupp (who pretty much stole the show in that bathroom scene from the movie TRICK) also shines brightly in this movie! He's beautiful as a woman and in addition to being hilarious, he knows how to tug at the heartstrings. Jeffery Roberson was like the cherry on top of the sundae! Even for being so physically large, he has a vulnerable quality that works so well for his character.

I highly recommend this movie for fans of this genre. Watch it with a group of friends and a bottle of wine (or a can of Cheez-Whiz)!

This is an off-the-wall comedy about three Hollywood actresses, (all played by drag queens). A very original premise and very very funny! There are some great quotable lines. Whatever your opinion of men in drag, watch this movie in the spirit in which it is intended, a twisted farce and a lot of fun. Good production values belie its low budget. It shows what can be done with limited resources and a lot of creativity. This is one not to miss!

I loved this DVD! I had no idea that the stars were drag queens -- especially Varla!

I loved the sets, the absurd dialogue and the fun.

Take it for what it is -- a campy, bawdy romp and you will have fun!

The PC will have no place watching this sure to be cult classic. The rest of us degenerates: enjoy. There is a priceless, quotable zinger a minute in this gem, a midnight movie in an age where there are no midnight movies...don't miss the DVD extras--what a hoot!

I love it! everyone I showed it to loves it!
so many funny lines, you have to watch it twice 'cause the first time you miss a lot for being laughing.

Okay I have to admit when I saw this DVD on the rental rack I passed on it over and over. BIG mistake, luckily a friend rented it and got me to watch it. The menu for the DVD was so funny and well thought out I quickly became interested. I still had no idea what I was in for. This film is shockingly funny thanks mostly to the three talented leads. Who would have thought that a film titled "Girls will be Girls" would ever be on my favorites list. You have to admit the title is a little bland and easy to ignore. Maybe that's why it wasn't that successful on the big screen. Oh well this superb feature presentation is sure to gain cult status and people will see it sooner or later based on that. This is a 5 star comedy and it will be a cult classic in less than 5 years. I bought the DVD after that night and I've watched it since then. You'll love it ..if you get the joke.

All right, this is sooo funny. It is a strange movie. First you have to get to a certain point in the movie where you can be sure that the drag queens in the movie are playing actual women roles, so it's not a gay movie, or a drag queen movie. If you can get over that....there's still lots to get over hahaha.
The "As-tro-phy-si-cist" line is the best one, it had me stop the movie and laugh like a madman, it was unbelievable!!!
Then, when Evie (it's all about Evie tonight) tries to bed the guy she had the accident with, she throws him all the names of "shows" she's been in, including the (soon-to-be-on-dvd and raise-your-hand-if-you've-ever-seen-it-does-it-really-exist-?) "Bewitched" spin-off "Tabitha"!!!!LOL, if there's something no-one has even seen, including this guy, then that's it!

The cons are that some plots are really unbelievable and distract from the movie, like how can Varla the fat one not see she's being pimped, ripped-off by the stinker and let him get away with her money, and the hunk (Evie's son) let him get away with his shoes? Hello??

Oh by the way, referring to the only long bad review here, there are loads of shows where straight men play VERY effeminate men. No-one complains (well, some do). And if there is someone who can do this kind of movie which mocks and plays around with stereotypes of gay many and drag queens, it's just them: drag queens. You don't complain when black people call themselves n****rs in movies, right? Between them apparently it's ok so those points fall flat.
On the other hand, yes this movie is crass, has very cruel jokes about abortion and rape (although at the end, when Coco still marries his ex-doctor/rapists, Edie points out just like that "still, he raped you" which is totally hilarious, like most lines from the movie) and you won't like it if you're not able to get over it and take it for what it is, a b-movie comedy played by drag queens out of which you get what you expect.
Take a couple of hours off your life and serious world and enjoy it.

From the moment the theme song started, I was hooked! The menu sequences are even entertaining. I was goated into watching this once and have since watched it twice in as many weeks -- once with the audio commentary. The first time I watched it I had to leave the room to gain my composure after Evie's "As-tro-PHY-si-cist!" line.
