Teaser

Loretta (Nancy Allison Wolfe) is a single lesbian looking for the one, which she meets in the form of Rachel (Liza D'Agostino). But will her insecurities doom the relationship when a third woman, JR (Camila Griggs), enters the scene and makes a play for Rachel?

Movie

"Bar Girls" is nicely filmed for an independent film. Unfortunately the story is unremarkable, the dialog is uninspiring, and the whole film is quite boring. The problem I have here is that I didn't particularly like any of the characters other than maybe Veronica (Justine Slater), a married woman who wants to try the lesbian life.
But everybody is one-dimensional and for the most part it doesn't look like the actors are enjoying the filming process. This is not so much a love story as it is a relationship story and a story about dealing with your insecurities. Nothing wrong with the concept nor the message, the execution is just bland. Maybe a commentary track or featurette would have helped -- if I could only understand what the director and writer were trying to do.

Actors

Nobody really stood out.

DVD

Wide screen format and a trailer are all that's on the DVD.

Recommendations

Don't watch this movie, though I will admit that there are some people that might like this movie.
