Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Meester and Jacobs have an easy, authentic chemistry, but there isn't enough structure or storytelling thrust to sustain interest in the plot: Triumphs, calamities and reunions keep happening, but none contains real dramatic heft.
Fogel refuses to pander by pretending that the girls can fix everything with a hug. Sacrifices must be made.
The charming story about millennial confusion is deftly written by Susanna Fogel (who also directs) and Joni Lefkowitz, and the dialog actually sounds like the way a pair of smart and funny twentysomethings might really talk.
Most of the time, the banter doesn't sound like banter; the movie shares Sasha and Paige's unforced shorthand.
