We open with Laurel Holloman as "Randy" making out with an older married woman in a gas station bathroom. This, by the way, is the most interesting thing that will happen in this entire movie. Let that settle in

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The clunking title of The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love tells you all you need to know about the plot, though there is a genuine sweetness to this perky tale of high school romance.

Common Sense Media

It's an LGBTQ+ movie that's aged well, even if some stereotypes are present, and remains an important and enjoyable coming-of-age tale that tells a specific story while reminding us of the universality of young love.

There are not many lesbian movies out there that aren’t just about sex and/or depressing drama in which they either both die, or break up in the end. This is one of those rare, beautiful gems in which it’s just a sweet, adorable, romantic love story between two girls. The chemistry between the two girls is astounding, throughout the whole movie they were so adorable, nervous, and giggly with each other. It’s a very sweet, and easy to watch film, in which it also has an amazing, and empowering ending. I am a lesbian myself, and I absolutely adore this movie, watch it! ❤️

What a horror to sit through this film. Unreal, implausible and cringeworthy. Stupid dialogues, flat clichés, lack of intimacy. Incredibly bad.
