Some Girls
Overview
While on Christmas break, college student Michael journeys to Quebec City to spend time with his attractive girlfriend, Gabriella. Not long after he arrives, Gabriella breaks up with him, but her two equally gorgeous sisters waste no time showing romantic interest.

The rest of the cast, like the D'Arc mansion itself, has problems with electricity. There isn't any.

Rotten
To its credit, the film is well cast and boasts imaginative production design, but is neither particularly funny nor emotionally credible.
