All the Real Girls Reviews

Through the years, I heard some great thing about David Gordon Green. Indeed, even though he was, at first, completely unknown to the mainstream audience, he managed to build up a really solid reputation as indie film director. The late Roger Ebert was a huge fan and even thought he could become the next best American director, no less than that. Obviously, his status completely changed after ‘Pineapple Express’ and the guy suddently got involved in some rather underwhelming commercial features like ‘Your Highness’ or ‘The Sitter’. Anyway, with this in mind, I was really eager to check this flick and I really wanted to like the damned thing. Eventually, even though the directing was very nice and the actors did a pretty good job (Zooey Deschanel was charming as usual), to be honest, I thought that the story was neither really interesting or entertaining enough. On top of that, I had a hard time with the main actor who was able to act adequatly but I thought that he had no charisma whatsoever. To conclude, I think it’s too bad because the whole thing really had some potential but, in spite of its flaws, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

A group of small-towners talk. They're not very bright, not funny and really not interesting. If I wanted to listen to this garbage I'd have stayed in a small town and done nothing with my life, too. At least in "Beautiful Girls" they were funny and interesting, but I'm so glad I never had to spend much time with people like those from this movie. Gave up half way through it, never did find out if there was a point to it all.
