Michelle Williams really proves herself here. She's terrific in what could become her breakout role from television's Dawson's Creek.

Taken seriously, it's not much to think about, but taken as a dirtier version of other girlie films ... it's at least entertaining and sexy fun.
You can't ignore the film's pungency as a cultural document and as a heartfelt testimony to the power struggles of best mates.

The movie, so briskly alert in details, is generic in its guiding ideas.
