It is a wonderful turn that the men in the story are the people we both don't know much about and don't care much about, while the women are the main characters and we learn a great deal about their lives and what they have to put up with to survive. Regina Hall is fantastic. She has the perfect emotional tones in different situations. There is a great deal of humor and real life tragedy in this film. It definitely has a low budget production vibe, but that is part of its charm. The supporting characters are all very good. I didn't love where the film went near the end, there are much better ways to resolve the main tension. But, even with that one arguable misstep, "Support the Girls" is a very enjoyable ride.… Expand

Feel-good little slice of life comedy buoyed by an excellent performance from Regina Hall and a surprisingly spry outing from Haley Lu Richardson. Don't know why it's rating is so low already.

Outstanding and refreshing! Definitely one of the hidden gems of the summer. It's great to see **** in such an original role. Must-see, for sure.

What a great little movie. I say little because it reminds me of the indie films from the mid-90s, like Clerks. A little rough around the edges, but honest. Also reminds me a bit of Waiting, but without the crude humor. Regina Hall isWhat a great little movie. I say little because it reminds me of the indie films from the mid-90s, like Clerks. A little rough around the edges, but honest. Also reminds me a bit of Waiting, but without the crude humor. Regina Hall is awesome, and Haley Lu Richardson is luminous as usual. It's great to see women support each other in this way.… Expand

Support the Girls comes with a really good comedy experience establishing a near perfect combo of performances and drama in a tribute to the kind of comedy that people love from Billy Wilder, but in today.
