Sasha (Leighton Meester) and Paige (Gillian Jacobs) are BFFs. They have always been close and are still best friends although one is gay and the other is straight. But when Paige meets Tim (Adam Brody) and is instantly attracted to him Sasha is afraid their friendship will not survive. Then again, Paige is obsessed with finding the perfect girl for Sasha too which is not sitting well either. Can an unusual friendship survive the challenges?
You know, I didn’t expect much from this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not a classic piece of cinema, but for the genre it’s in, they pulled it off pretty good. Certainly Leighton and Gillian pulled off the friendship as well as any pair I’ve seen for a long time. This is a girls film, no doubt, but the friendship comes of as genuine. When a straight girl and a gay girl are best friends, there are some challenges with that, but on the other hand, as is shown well here, the same problems would exist if they were either both straight or both gay. When a guy and a girl are best friends, but not in a relationship, there is generally the tension of one of the other (usually the guy) wanting more out of the relationship. Well, there is that same tension here as well, although nothing really becomes of it. But on the other hand, they are not going gaga over the same guy all the time, so that drama is not a problem with their friendship. All in all, it’s a charming little tale of friendship more than anything else. I enjoyed the story, and though I don’t feel moved or changed from having watched it, it was a solid performance and a good deal of entertainment. I don’t have anything bad to say about this film, and it’s a pretty decent little friendship tale for girls.
