I really enjoyed this film!Jun 24, 2005
By William Neely
"Will"
I first heard about this film quite a while ago, and have wanted to see it for a very long time. I am a very big fan of Soleil Moon Frye, and she is the main reason I wanted to see it. When I saw that it was released on DVD I was extremely happy.
From the moment the film started, I was drawn in, and I stayed drawn in until the end. Casey's (Soleil Moon Frye) opening and ending monologue was great, and an awesome way to open and end the movie. The ending is very good, and it leaves you feeling complete. The movie is really about two college roomates who are very different. It is about one of them wanting revenge on the other. The movie is very real, and that, to me, is very refreshing.
The only problem I had with the film was the editing. It is very choppy, and isn't put together all that well, but it isn't a big problem. I only thought about it during a few scenes.
The two main characters are compelling. I have to say that Soleil gives the best performance in the film. The other lead, Cat Taber (who plays Grace), was good, but it felt like her performance was missing something. The other actors were all great as well (Notably Wil Wheaton as Grace's fiance, and Gary Wolf as Casey's friend).
The DVD has no extras at all, though. It only has the film and scene selections (a total of 8 chapters), and if you leave it on the main menu for too long, the movie starts by itself. The lack of extras doesn't bother me, though. It took the film long enough to get released.
While this movie isn't for everyone, I loved it, and will watch it more than once. The DVD doesn't seem to be a big release, so you may have a hard time finding a rental, but it is well worth the purchase price here! If you are a fan of one of the actors, this is a must have DVD!
In closing, I would like to say "How nice, How very, very nice!"

Cool Chick Flick!!!May 15, 2005
By Vaxine

Punky Brrewster fans will love this film! Soliel Moon Frye is so hot! A funny and touching coming of age story about two college roommates who are complete opposties. It's a story about friendship and figuring out who you are and where you want to go in life. I bought this for my 20 year old sis in college and she loved it! I thought it was well directed too. I think this is the director's first film. Well done!!

Enjoyed the movie! Looking for music...Sep 15, 2006
By Caligirl
I enjoyed watching this movie, really liked the storyline. There is a scene when Grace is looking for her notebook where she had some notes for the test, and Casey is off at a club w/ her friends. There is this really cool song playing, that Casey is dancing too. I love that song! Does anyone know what song that is?
 much more than a chick flickMay 21, 2005
By Tishauna Diana Delacroix Starr

College roomies Casey (Frye) and Grace (Taber) are a contempo odd couple. Casey, a quasi goth bohemian-esque performance artist with a penchant for bad boys,sex,profanity and pot, garbs herself in black and heavy mascara. Preppy good girl Grace just wants to ace her classes and wed her frat boy Romeo (Wil Wheaton). When Casey's obnoxious taunts and schemes put Grace's plans in jeopardy, she resolves to get even.
The Girls' Room" nicely develops its characters, resisting the urge to limit them as easy stereotypes.Nor does Amanda Beall's script demonize either character. Casey, it turns out, knows she was dealt a bad hand from the start, whereas Grace subtly begins to question her sheltered Southern upbringing.
Girls room is way more than a chick flick.do to the fact that its verry understandable no matter what gender or race you are.its more or less implies that sheltered well off people have issues too and that their not always the antagonizers like in most mediums.though i don't belive people really denied that,we know that rich sheltered girls have issues aswell.though to be blunt i will say their not the same as everyday people problems but i digress.
Both women are flawed, to be sure, but despite their surface antagonism, each harbors a real desire to explore the other's life. Their mutual attraction-repulsion keeps the tension percolating and thankfully leaves some surprises for the final reel. The characters ultimately emerge in the script as wholly rounded and,as realized in Taber and Frye's empathetic performances, neither easy to like nor completely despicable
A must see indie film!Mar 20, 2005
By Stephanie Young
This film is especially well directed, and flows well. A Southern college story that is both heart-warming and funny. I've seen this film twice and love it. Great performances from Cat Tabor and Soleil Moon Frye. Grab a bowl of popcorn!
