A cross-cultural teen sex farce with some good moments, Some Girls hinges on the deadpan comic timing of Patrick Dempsey.
To its credit, the film is well cast and boasts imaginative production design, but is neither particularly funny nor emotionally credible.
Top CriticThe rest of the cast, like the D'Arc mansion itself, has problems with electricity. There isn't any.
There are some sweet moments and several very funny scenes, mostly of the door-slamming, mistaken identity variety.
The film remains highly entertaining through all its baroque turns of events, and the performances are fine.
...an exercise in irritation that possesses exceedingly little in the way of positive attributes.
