Girltrash: All Night Long (2014)




Daisy and Tyler are thrilled when their rock group lucks into an invitation for a local band competition, but they're about to run into a whole series of obstacles to musical success, from Daisy's lingering crush on her ex (who ran off with the leader of a rival band), to navigating the awkwardness of Daisy's younger sister coming out as a lesbian, to ... well, to the violent criminal to whom they owe nearly five thousand dollars.

Girltrash: All Night Long is a lesbian-themed musical comedy featuring a number of cast members of TV series South of Nowhere and The L Word.  The songs are quirky, and I'm quite fond of the number "Fantasy Crush", but I did feel there was a certain sameness to their sound.  Also, it's pretty obvious that some cast members are rather stronger singers than others!

So should you watch the film?  Well, I guess it depends on how much appeal you see in the idea of an 80s teen buddy comedies like the "Two Coreys" used to do, only with lots of swearing, singing and lesbians.  I personally enjoyed it, though there are definitely some "cringe comedy" scenes that made me quite uncomfortable.
