Not the best acting, BUT..........2007-02-12

...the scenes with Kate Capshaw and Elle Macpherson are SIZZLING!! Stockard Channing is always wonderful, and has obviously waited it out to "come of age" and into the roles of her career. Cameryn Manheim and and a few of the other actresses were really fun to see outside of the familiar roles we are used to. I'd recommend "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her" if you like this "vignette" format...it's a little better.

VERY TALENTED GROUP OF WOMEN.......2005-12-03

SOME OF THE CHARACTERS WERE JUST NOT ALIVE BUT KATE KAPSHAW WAS CONVINCING AS THE BI-SEXUAL LOVER OF ELLE MACPHEARSON.IT WAS GOOD TO SEE KATE AGAIN I THINK SHE'S UNDERRATED IT'S JUST TOUGH WHEN YOU'RE MRS.STEVEN SPIELBERG TO BE ANYTHING BUT MRS.SPIELBERG.I HAVE TO AGREE THAT THE LOVE SCENE PROBABLY WAS WRITTEN BY STRAIGHT MEN AND NOT LESBIAN WOMEN JONIE MITCHELL'S SONG WAS GREAT FOR THE LOVE SCENE, BUT I MUST ADMIT IT WAS THE SONG PLAYING IN THE CLUB THEY DANCED TO THAT MADE THIS MOVIE WORTH SEEING IT WAS A VERY GOOD SONG ONE OF CHAKA KHANS BEST SONGS, I PURCHASED THAT CD THE SONG IS CALLED STRONGER THAN BEFORE IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.I KNOW ELLE TOOK IT ON THE CHIN ALOT FOR HER ACTING SHE WAS CLUMSY AT TIMES WITH HER LINES AND I LITTLE TO LETHARGIC BUT SHE'LL PROBALY IMPROVE WITH WORK, AND BOO-HOO WHEN U LOOK LIKE THAT WHO REALLY CARES ANYWAY, I THINK SHE WILL IMPROVE OVER TIME MOST MODELS HAVE.SHE JUST SEEMED LIKE SHE WASN'T PLAYING A CHARACTER,EVEN THOUGH HER ISSUES AND HER FEELINGS WERE REALISTIC FOR HER SITUATION. IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS ELLE MACPHEARSON NOT BEING COMFORTABLE WITH KATE CAPSHAW.THE THREE SISTERS WAS OK THE THING ABOUT IT IS IF YOU'RE NOT A DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY OR KNOW OF ANY THEN IT REALLY SEEMS OVER THE TOP, THE THIRD STORY I THINK WAS THE WEAKEST STORY, I MEAN MIA FARROW LOVE HER, LINDA HAMILTON VERY CAPABLE AND LYNN WHITFIELD OFTEN UNDERRATED GAVE THEIR ALL,BUT IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A STRONG EFFECT WITH THE AUDIENCE, AND THE LAST STORY WITH CAMRYN MANHEIM DID DRAG A BIT AND I EXPECTED A BETTER BANG FOR THE ENDING,BUT STOCKARD CHANNING AS ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME EVEN THOUGH U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER.IT WAS HARD CONNECTING WITH THE CHARACTERS THEY WERE A LITTLE UNDER WRITTEN WITH STRONGER WRITING YOU ROOT FOR THEM AND YOU CARE ABOUT THEM, WOMENS RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE VERY COMPLEX AND WOMEN HAVE GOOD STORIES TO TELL HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE STORIES ABOUT WOMEN ARE NOT VALUED OR PRODUCED AND THEY SHOULD BE.KUDOS FOR THE EFFORT.

A Girl Thing review.......2005-08-09

I like A GirlThing. It has four mini storys about love and life and family. Don't worry each story is about 50 minutes, so you get real complete storys. I always feel a movie is good as long as it has a good story line and gives it enough time to tell the story. It's worth wathing.

A Girl thing.......2005-07-07

If you love well written stories, great plots and captivating acting then this movie IS NOT for you.

I don't know how the producer managed to swindle precious investor dollars to get this tripe made into a movie, however there it is!

It was SO BORING and so badly done that after the first 1 hour and 45 minutes I had to turn it off. I don't even want to know how it ended.

The cast line up was great! That's the only 'positive' comment I can make with regards to this movie.

DO NOT watch it. DO NOT hire it. DO NOT believe anybody who thinks it is good.

The two lesbians who made love even did that scene poorly; get this, it was done in the missionary position!

Avoid this movie!

A Girl Thing gone terribly wrong.......2004-09-16

When a friend and I read the back of the DVD at Blockbuster, we were intrigued by the plot, not to mention the incredible cast. We checked it out with anticipation of a great flick. I wouldnt even consider what we were feeling as dissapointment; I would describe what we felt as pure regret! The acting on the part of Elle McPherson was awful! The character development in this movie was null and void. I dont understand how other reviewers can say that this was a fabulous movie depicting real life situations about women...I dont know about you but I dont have internal conflict with everyday lesbian experiences, my mother never tricked me in to thinking I was adopted so that I'd get along with my siblings. I dont know what happened in the other two 'chapters' because we turned this atrocity of a movie off after 2 hours of pure hell. If you want to make a movie about womens issues, make a movie about our rights, our health issues, being a mother, etc. This was just a poorly written script with a good cast who couldnt even save it from the depths of the hideousness that is called A Girl Thing!
