Entertaining Brit comedy/drama/chick flick/thriller!
4 girls, 3 days, 2 cities, 1 chance ... and an interesting film weaving together what happens to four BFFs Jo, Shannon, Cassandra and Kerrys, over the course of three days, when a batch of stolen diamonds accidentally falls into the hands of one of them, the thieves who want them back not far behind. I LOVED the girls, these gals can take care of themselves and don't take crap from anyone (well, almost) ... and the script, written by the film's co-director Noel Clarke (who also plays Tee in the film), is very clever in playing out each girl's individual story, while tying up every loose end in how their stories all play off against each other, as well. This is pure entertainment, fluff, but fun fluff that keeps you tensed up and caught up the whole time.
GIRL'S RULE
This film combines the grindhouse style with "Sex and the City" as it examines the lives of four young girls over a weekend. It starts with Shannon (Ophelia Lovibond) who comes home and discovers her mother is leaving. She desperately needs to talk to her girlfriends who suddenly don't have any time for her. We discover why as the film examines the other girls' lives from their point of view.
Cassandra (Tamsin Egerton ) has left to go to NYC for a piano audition and to lose her virginity to her Skype friend. Things don't go as planned. Kerays (Shanika Warren-Markland) is from Brazil and prefers girls. Joanne (Emma Roberts) is working the night shift at Ted's grocery mart where much of the action happens. Toss in the fact they cross path with some unlikely jewel thieves and you got the bare bones outline.
The film appears to be designed for older teen girls as it combines the more hip grindhouse style, but makes teen girls the heroines of the story. The film...
