Beautiful, moving film.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It was a wonderful movie. Although it wasn't on a billion dollar budget, the characters were wonderful and the plot was fairly believable. One woman, Loretta, frequents a gay bar in search for a love she's never had. She meets Rachel. Neither Loretta nor Rachel are single but they are determined to make it work. There is a sort of love-circle between the women that frequent the bar and Loretta struggles to keep a hold on the one person who is there for her. It had a feel similar to the movie "The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love" (another beautifully crafted movie). I'd recommend them both.

Every so often in a movie you come across a characterization that goes beyond the theme and text of the movie itself and provides a portrayal of a character that could be taken as a whole and used as the basis for a separate movie. Such is the character of J.R. portrayed by Camilla Griggs which, surprisingly, is rarely commented upon by reviewers of this movie. Too often she is seen only in contrast with Loretta's feelings and as the antagonist but her character, her personality, what she's looking for and how she goes about it and about meeting her needs is unusual and she could be viewed separately and appreciated. My suggestion is to watch the movie through once and then watch it a second time, paying particular attention to the character of J.R., to how she relates to her newly come by job, her newly come by girlfriend and the others in her life including Loretta. I'm amazed that I haven't seen Camilla Griggs in anything else because she's certainly a talent.

I am 23 years old and just hitting my movie-watching prime (if one exists). What I mean is that I am finally able to watch movies and appreciate them for what they are. I have only been able to do this for a year or two. So, I flip around Showtime at 1:30 AM and see a movie called "Bar Girls"; could be soft-core porn! Hit the info; lesbian soft-core porn! Neither, but before I realized it, I was hooked in. If I looked at the entire work as a satire (which I did), it was phenomenal.After reading on this site that the playwright is pretty philosophical, I was a little disappointed that she probably wanted this movie to be taken seriously, but not so much so that it detracted from the movie for me. I could have done without Loretta's diatribes and the frustrating displays of anger, but all in all, this was not poorly acted. In addition, the comedy level was pretty high. I mean, as a heterosexual male, it is great to know that lesbians have hate sex too (I hope that doesn't qualify as a spoiler. This is my first time posting here, and I figure 11 years is long enough for an obscure movie). Corny ending, but the bar scene prior to the ending was hilarious. Sam

Loretta (Nancy Allison Wolfe) is a successful lesbian writer of cartoons with problems in her romantic life with Annie (Lisa Parker). She is a habitué of a lesbian bar. One day she meets Rachel (Liza D'Agostino) and they start a new life together. When J.R. (Camila Griggs) starts flirting with Rachel, all the insecurity of Loretta rises in a jealousy situation. This romance in a lesbian environment is a movie for a very specific audience. This movie seems to be too much stereotyped, but lesbians, fans of soap opera or simply a viewer curious of a lesbian movie may not be completely disappointed and may have some fun. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Clube de Garotas" ("Girls'Club")
