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.

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.

What starts out amusing eventually becomes something of a drag.

A bawdy, smart, colorful, fast-paced man-in -a-dress fest.

The comedy here is, in every possible meaning of the word, broad.

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.

Because the performances are so grounded, so weirdly real, these foibles take on unexpected poignancy, as if the actors and their director are suggesting degradation as a natural byproduct of loneliness.

While cries of misogyny are unwarranted (it's clear that no actual women were harmed in filming), cries of 'ewwwww!' are not.

Rude, crude, gaudy and often hilarious.

Plays out like a shticky, vulgar sitcom in which the featured characters are bitchy stereotypes.
