Kate Autostraddle Breaking the Girls just doesn't have that rewatchable quality to me.... Once you reach the A-Ha! moment, nothing is quite as satisfying - or as gay, but that's all I can say without spoiling you. Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Steven Boone RogerEbert.com Babbitt loves her actors and gives them fun stuff to do. If she works with similar themes in the future, I hope she gives her performers and her clearly fertile imagination more room to play. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 26, 2013 Full Review Nicole Herrington New York Times An erotic thriller with too many twists and back stories to count. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 25, 2013 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue It woefully lacks subtlety and suspense, and its characters aren't the least bit sympathetic. Dec 11, 2013 Full Review Phil Villarreal COED.com Gratuitous sex, double-crosses and more gratuitous sex await in the silly but always-entertaining sexcapade. Rated: 3/4 Nov 19, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Can someone please tell Jamie Babbit to stop directing movies! Just about all of her films are so dreadfully bad and unwatchable. My question is, who the hell keeps hiring her, and actually paying her for the drivel she keeps crapping out!! In fact, there's NO reason to watch her movies to realize it's gonna suck! And why do actors keep accepting roles in her movies?! Do they even read the script?! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member if this movie had even a B-list cast this could have been an oscar worthy movie. this earns its points sheerly on plot and plot twists Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review don s What appears to want to be an erotic thriller is lessened by two things: there is absolutely no nudity in this movie, though there are tons of opportunities to display such, thus muting any eroticism they are trying to promote, and just having two females kissing each other without any sense of lust or attraction does not make for eroticism either. This is just a bland money grab story that is not difficult to figure out and not very well acted either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Atmospheric and suspenseful, Breaking the Girls is a B-grade version of a Hitchcockian thriller. After being fired from her job law student Sara Ryan is befriended by a rich socialite, but the friendship soon turns dark when the two begin to talk about forming a murder pact. Both Agnes Bruckner and Madeline Zima give strong performances; particularly Zima, whose role is quite demanding. And there's some mystery and intrigue to the murder plots (even though they're rather formulaic). Yet overall, Breaking the Girls is a mediocre crime drama that's pretty by-the-numbers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Sadly, Madeline Zima has been type-cast to the same drunk, manipulative monster. Otherwise, I enjoyed the movie. Another good one for those nights when your are up late. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member sorry,plot holes and all, this was delicious. no complaints. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
