This is a well made film, without following normal teen format but dealing with teenagers. As Randy (the principle character) is a bit of a stereotypical tomboy lesbian, I was a bit worried to begin with but then along comes Evie, a completely different girl but easy to identify with. The two seem to balance each other nicely.

The story shows the two falling in love as well as dealing with the two different backgrounds, displaying the families and high school circles etc. And in the face of prejudice and uproar the two girls show a united front and prove that the film is more about being in love than it is about being homosexual, it's ideal for anyone who likes a love story and a bit of a giggle.

My only criticism is it hard to believe that Randy's previous shallow lover is of Randy's tastes but you never know! The rest is fab, so an easy four stars :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet., 31 Mar 2005

By	Brrnrrd (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls in Love [DVD] [1996] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

I only took a liking to this film when I watched it with the director's commentary. It's an incredibly sweet story about a black girl from an upper middle classed background and a white girl from a working class background. The story isn't so complex, but then that's not what this film is about. It's incredibly sunny and optimistic, which at first seems unrealistic. For example, the ending is more like a comedy sketch, and a teenager dating a thirty-something broad seems really unlikely. But it's about coming out, finding your first love - and I think that is very well portrayed. Randy and Evie are remarkably cute, and I wonder why I haven't seen them elsewhere.

This is clearly a budget film - if you watch closely, you'll see there are about ten other people who wander around the school, but other than that the set is deserted. The acting is at times cheesy, but the only real culprit is the boyfriend of the Broad, who reminded me of Johnny Bravo without the bleach.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fresh look on an old story..., 21 Mar 2003

By	"empresscentauri" - See all my reviews

Overall, I found this movie was interesting and entertaining, though in some parts I thought it was threatening the boundaries of realism. At first, the film seems stereotypical when the young butch lesbian is introduced. Then her feminine love interest comes along and she is found questioning her sexuality when the pair fall in love. Though some situations they find themselves in seem extreme, it is absolutely hilarious to watch. One scene in particular is cringe worthy, and you just know they are going to get caught by the unaware mother.

The story does tackle some good issues, as do most lesbian flicks, and it is worth watching, even if only for the humurous scenes.
