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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
An erotic thriller with too many twists and back stories to count. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 12/11/2013
It woefully lacks subtlety and suspense, and its characters aren't the least bit sympathetic. Go to Full Review

3/4
Gratuitous sex, double-crosses and more gratuitous sex await in the silly but always-entertaining sexcapade. Go to Full Review

06/18/2021 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?! See more 12/18/2015 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 See more don s 11/15/2015 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. See more 07/25/2015 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. See more 10/18/2014 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. See more 08/10/2014 sorry,plot holes and all, this was delicious. no complaints. See more Read all reviews
