Format:DVD
This film is an absolute gem, completely unforgettable, and is so relevant to relationships today. It is a true love story, showing how the friendship, that leads to love and passion, develops between two women. Not to mention how it affects the people around them.
Not only that, the leading actors, Robin Greenspan & Lacie Harmon are completely compelling, believable, and ultimately true to themselves, given that it is their own relationship suddenly on view to the entire world. It is a work of art, and gives an emotional insight into real relationships, that is sadly lacking in a lot of movies of our time.
Not to mention the humour - particularly with the director of the play, excellently acted by Dom Deluise, and, without fault, the wonderful Mink Stole, who plays Robin's mother.
Finally, the casting, acting, and producing are all spot-on, and I cannot praise this film highly enough. As is said by those who worked on this film (in the extras) it is a universal film about love, whether you are gay or heterosexual, everyone will identify with Girl Play because it is ultimately about love, and love alone.

I sincerely would like to know what the reviewers who gave this film 5 stars were smoking when they watched it!
In this film, the two main characters speak to the camera and explain the story in flashbacks. This concept could be OK if it was not so heavily used and combined with poor acting. Characters are cardboard like, the gay director conforms to all the clichés you can think of, complete with camp younger boyfriend , etc...
I could not watch this until the end it was so bad. If you have no tolerance for poorly acted zero-budget american movies who only makes it through production because they have a lesbian theme (breadcrumb theory, anyone?), then avoid!

Girl Play is a beautiful tale, simply told. the fact that the two leads are telling their story gives the film an honesty and a reality . the acting or narration is sometimes a little stilted but throughout the piece the honesty shines through. its a tale of love and how two people found each other.

A must see
This is an intelligent and creative film. The actresses were brilliant as this must have been very difficult to perform. I would love to see this in the theatre. Read more

Awful
I didn't even bother to watch the whole of this movie as it really was that bad. I felt ripped off after buying it. A typical low-budget film with no substance what so ever. Read more

Believable and very funny
This film will make you think and make you laugh, its a true story and its worth watching the extras - not a typical love story as such but very watchable and romantic in its own... Read more

Quite Awful
I had high hopes and then after watching 10mins of this I lowered my hopes...and then lowered them so more. Even then this still disappointed me.
