Her roommate and verbal punching bag, Coco (Clinton Leupp), only yearns for one thing: to have a child with the doctor that performed her abortion. And then there's Varla (Jeffery Roberson), a naïve country girl with a bit of an eating disorder and her own dreams of making it as an actress. When she unexpectedly joins the household, all of their aspirations and sordid pasts come to an unforgettable boiling point. -- © IFC Films [More]

Reviews for Girls Will Be Girls
While Day doesn't succeed in making us empathize with anyone on screen, he makes his characters definitely watchable and his dialogue crackles.
Humor that takes as its apparent premise the assumption that all women are catty, sexually voracious, weight-obsessed whores ... is more than anyone in this day and age, even in the context of a cartoonish farce, should be expected to take.
Girls Will Be Girls is gross-out camp, much like the movies of John Waters.
In just observing and accurately reproducing women's facial expressions and physical gestures, the men create a wonderfully absurd spectacle.
To appreciate Girls Will Be Girls to the max, it probably helps to have taken at least one semester of Screen Camp 101.
The film is appropriately cynical, pleasantly camp and just fresh enough to be funny more often than not.
A badly written attempt at a John Waters-style celebration of vulgar humor starring three drag queens.
Day and his cast have a lot of fun with their 80 minutes of screen time because they have the courage of their silliness and an uninhibited sense of humor.
While cries of misogyny are unwarranted (it's clear that no actual women were harmed in filming), cries of 'ewwwww!' are not.
