Summary: Like therapy
Comment: I can understand why someone named "Ramrod" wouldn't like this film. It could be seen as indulging the worst of the late 20th century therapeutic movement. Very woman-centered, very emotional. Yet that's what's great about it.
It captures a time beautifully, a time when the blush of second wave feminism had worn off and it was a given that women were out there, having careers, showing their competence in the wider world. Yet we still had emotional lives to tend to, we still had to negotiate relationships with men in a world that had changed, we still needed to come to terms with the parts of ourselves that didn't fit the template our culture had set out for us.
This film was lovely in its evocation of a quiet retreat from all that to a space in which these women could be restored by nature, get all the hugs they needed and air out issues that poison if left under cover.
I had a group of friends similar to these women back then, and I wouldn't be who I am now if not for them. I found myself identifying with first one, then another, wondering how I'd fit in. Knowing that somehow, I would.
This is a small film that's going to be increasingly unavailable. If you've ever known the healing power of a group of good women, or if you'd like to know what that kind of deep friendship is like, you need to see Chantilly Lace.

Summary: Impressive!
Comment: Yes, this movie is about a bunch of females who do cry a lot, who sit around and talk about silly girl issues we've all dealt with. Every time I've had a group of women over visiting I put this movie on...and everyone loves it. It's the ultimate "chick flick". It explores what female friendships are all about and tells the truth about our silly hang-ups and inner feelings. I've yet to meet a woman of any age who wasn't impressed. The fact that most of it was improv makes me respect these women as actresses and as people even more. I would highly recommend this to anyone having a few friends over for a "girls" night. It's the perfect entertainment.

Summary: Tear Jerker
Comment: I was in tears at many times throughout the movie because it made me remember how important my female friends are to me. It also made me laugh. My boyfriend watched it with me and it made him wish that he could be a fly on the wall in a room full of women.Yes, it is a B or even a C movie, but I rented it long ago and will be buying it tonight. It is more of a comfort type of a movie for people who can, in a strange way, relate to what goes on.
