Critic Reviews

Sheri Linden

Full of insights on love and sex -- which will have more resonance for lesbians but pack a universal punch. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Too many musical montages break the momentum, but overall it's an engaging piece of work, regardless of which team you play for. Read full review

Janet Maslin

Neither performer upstages the other, but the admirable film is weakened by timidity or a lack of skill. Read full review

Noel Murray

In the process of becoming characters, the writer-stars have diminished themselves. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

With little plot and a stifling set, the movie needs stronger performances than its leads can offer. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

Greenspan and Harmon's paltry song of themselves concludes with five minutes of outtakes, capping the self-love. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Dom DeLuise, as a fruitcake director, and John Waters fave Mink Stole, as Robin's Jewish mother, spice things up, but not enough to make Girl Play worthwhile. Read full review

This was a great movie. No one is expecting absolute perfection in the movie, so the critics need to relax! It was very true-to-life in terms of lesbian relationships. I thought it was well worth seeing.

Terrible acting, a haphazard plot and little cinematic insight plague this amateurish presentation of banal lesbian love. In others words, the movie simply doesn't work!
