5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful yet tender, November 3, 2003

This review is from: What Girls Learn (DVD)

A seeringly powerful yet tender tale about the turmoil that young women often have to cope with. Wonderful performances by a young cast and even grander performances by the adults. Elizabeth Perkins and Scott Bakula have wonderful on screen chemistry.

Based on a true story, What Girls Learn, is 'almost' a chick flick. A strong and outspoken woman with two daughters falls in love with a man who changes their lives only to meet with tragedy. Yet, despite the 'down' parts, there is great humanity here. Can't imagine a dry eye in the house.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unconvincing, August 20, 2003

By 

fleshybanana "Nairb" (unknown) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Girls Learn [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The 3 leading ladies had no chemistry what so ever, even when the 3 dare share a bubble bath. The oldest daughter Tilden was the most hateful and unlikable girl I have ever seen. Not one convincing smile crossed her bland face. The lack of chemisty however had nothing to do with actress Elizabeth Perkins who is always a joy on screen. Also Scott Bakula was good too. It all boils down to heavy handed melodrama at it's dullest.

Scott Bakula is great in this and the rest of the cast, especially the oldest daughter, are also outstanding. A great family movie.
