Editorial Reviews

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda cheesy, but enjoyable nonetheless, February 10, 2005

By	S. Stinson "book lover" (Oklahoma USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Bar Girls" is an enjoyable little romantic comedy about an obsessive, incredibly funny cartoonist, Loretta, who is continually looking for that perfect significant other. When she actually finds her, she thinks it's too perfect and all her neurotic, but hilarious, self-sabotage tendencies kick in. Clever dialogue between Loretta and her best friend, tension-filled moments between Loretta and the film's stereotypical "bad girl", as well as tender moments of self-awareness make up for the film's obviously lacking depth. The intermittent scenes of Loretta's cartoon and the cartoon's heroine are hilarious! In all, "Bar Girls" is kinda cheesy, but an enjoyable 90-minutes nonetheless.

1.0 out of 5 stars avoid it!, April 17, 2004

By A Customer

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars I had much higher expectations for this film..., December 23, 2000

By A Customer

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

I was severely dissippointed by this video. It was one of the first lesbian films I rented after coming out and I was horrified. It left me thinking all lesbian films had this poor quality of acting and dialog. The characters are so over the top and stereotypical that you have to laugh even when the scene is serious. Rent before you buy! Please!
