I had never heard of the three leading ladies before. No, not true. I was barely aware of two of them: one from a guest spot on TV’s PROJECT RUNWAY; and the other from a very funny stint in the gay crowd-pleaser TRICK. But the moment I laid eyes on the trio I knew my time would be well spent. I mean, c’mon, how can it not with such a strong female cast, not to mention what looked to be an attune script, a laugh out loud repartee, and a slapstick rhythm worthy of any comedy classics. Oh, and the song in the opening credits; talk about a catchy tune; very VALLEY OF THE DOLLS / THE FIRST WIVES CLUB-ish.

I can’t count the time I found myself laughing while witnessing the hectic goings on of our crazy ladies. Any scene they’re in is a treasure in itself ("Astro-phy-si-cist!", anyone?). And that’s saying a lot since GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS is what you call a no (big) name movie with a minuscule budget. But director Richard Day succeeds in impressing us in every way. Everything he touches looks slick. Not to mention the mega talents of his protagonists who, should I say, are far from being strangers in the gay community. Just in my strange little world; until about two years ago, like I mentioned. Now, I feel the need to know what they’re up to, like their involvement in the GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS sequel (written and directed by Day again) which, suffice to say, I can’t wait to see.
In the meantime, if you guys are like me and can’t get enough of Evie, Coco and Varla, just subscribe to their respective Twitter names for more info about their upcoming shows and personal engagements. If you crave for more GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS before the ultimate sequel, visit You Tube for a couple of internet shorts which are as yummy as the film itself. Oh, and before I forget, for those who have seen the movie, yes, it is TV’s MODERN FAMILY Eric Stonestreet who plays Coco’s rapist and husband to be. I doubt he will be in the second feature (just as gorgeous Ron "Stevie" Mathews’, who is reportedly being replaced) but he won’t be missed. These girls can certainly take care of themselves.

Oh my STARS! I love, love, LOVE this movie. Fortunately for me, a friend saw it listed as playing in a theater in San Francisco when it first came out. He got myself and several friends to go see it. I was living in the East Bay at the time, fortunately. We had all seen Varla Jean Merman before at various one-man, er...woman shows through the years. And now she was in a movie? We had to go-go.
We saw it opening night and LOVED the flick. My best friend and I went back to to see it the following Thursday night (It only played one week) and laughed just as much---if not more. When it came out on DVD, that became the staple gift for me to give one year. I just had to share the hilarious joy.
When the Kickstarter campaign popped up for the sequel, of course I pledged money. I know the movie was filmed (and I am supposed to be in it via "remote cameo"), but post production green screen work delayed/killed it...along with Richard Day's cancer episode (which I think he got over). I've not heard any updates in YEARS.
Fingers crossed the film is still gonna eventually see the light of day and is not dead in the water.
Thank you for posting about the film anyway. I still LOVE it.
CHEERS!
