G'wan Girl, Get!

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2016)

So my wife, inspired by favorable critical as well as popular fanfare, having bought and finished reading the book exclaimed, " now we have to watch the movie. " Upon the film's conclusion she looked at me and said " Yeah, the book was no good either. " We agreed that this flick is fodder for middle-of-the-night Lifetime channel viewing and that's not a knock against Lifetime because we both enjoy the sordid salaciousness of many of their films, however most of the programming would never be confused with brilliant filmmaking, which is what apparently happened with the GG franchise. I see a lot of user ratings at "1" and while I understand that score, both Affleck and Pike are skilled actors not low on the charisma scale. I can only believe that they didn't realize the story would play out like an episode of " The Edge of Night " penned by Tristan Tzara. I will say that I anticipate the MST3K version with great relish.
