Well what can be said, I feel the comments and ratings of others are harsh, I find in very unprofessional in the first place to rate a movie with less than 5 stars. The movie is, alright and it will entertain some people, that's for sure. This may be the entertaining of a niche population, but it does serve its purpose nonetheless. There is a story, somewhat simple and bland in plot however. The central character is about to lose her job in two weeks if she does not come up with better topics on her radio talk show. She is invited to a birthday gathering with her best friends and they share some personal secrets, which then eventually becomes the theme for the talk show. Success, not just commercially but she manages to get together with her crush. How cute, not sophisticated, but did make me laugh a hell lot at times. It will certainly appeal to those who like sexual related themes in general, it requires you to suspend your mind, think about how naughty you were during high school or university and accept the fact that this is simply fun, flippant material you are going to watch. The performances are not particularly bright, and will be worlds away from an Oscar performance, but needless to say, it was professional, to the point and most importantly, the actors do as a matter of fact manage to convey the plot to the audience. And given the simple nature of the plot, to be honest, though more passion would have benefited the film, the actors could not have conveyed a better version of this film. It is a simple film, a fun film, no underlying factors to understand, straight forward. An Oscar performance can only be sustained, if the depth of the film is there, and depth comes from many factors. Yes the photography was, flimsy, but then again, acceptable, I've seen worse, I've seen better. Most importantly is to have fun and sit with those girls and live their "experiences", nice glass of wine in hand, unless you're looking for an Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day Lewis performance, you'll be entertained just fine. It will not impress, it should not disappoint. If it did disappoint, you're expecting too much. 7/10.
