RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

zif ofoz Gabi is a horny little chick that shows up in NYC and stays with her brother while he's doing something called 'art'. She tumbles in bed with - well - her brother's friends. There's the usual drinking, drugs, partying, sex, etc. Nothing of any substance seems to happen in this story. Brother & sister have usual love/hate relationship.Gabi puts everyone on edge. There are money problems. All the characters eat, chat, drink, sex, drink. Nothing happens. Gabi gets ticked-off. Her brother Sam gets ticked-off. Everybody gets ticked-off. Then all is well at end.If you like a non-story brief look into the lives of people who like to party, drop their clothes, drink, and talk about mostly nothing, then I guess this is your flick. Frankly I found the whole thing a bit circular and wrapped in a big 'so what'.Good luck if you choose to watch it. I only watched it because the title caught my eye.

somosuno_2003 It was difficult to watch. I generally appreciate movies that show odd perspectives. This movie was not only pointless but offensive. In what modern society does a twenty-year old virgin walk naked around her brother and his friends? If there is such a place, incestuous couples should buy real estate, yes? Thankfully, my brother would have beat the stuffing out of me before beating the stuffing out of his friend. As enlightened as these characters pretended to be, the conservatism and/or hypocrisy dripped with pathetic irony. The sister was not petulant as has been characterized elsewhere. She was an infantile trouble maker whose grasp of relationships familial or otherwise was personified in the paralyzed hamster. Brother-sister portrayals like this make me wonder about modern sexual boundaries. Some things are just not done and this movie was impossible to embrace as worthy of the independent movie genre.

cinemasaver I got to see this film at my college with a Q&A session with the directors. They seem to be very nice people. Much of the audience was laughing and enjoying the film, but i was not. The problem I had with Gabi on the Roof in July was the direction of the story. The film floats around setting up plenty of different routes to take narratively, but it decides to instead backtrack and go in circles. I'm all for realism and lots of dialogue, but at some point in time you gotta use those words to progress the story. Nothing happens in this movie. People talk, people complain, and people talk some more. That's all that happens, along with relationship problems. Nothing is resolved, nothing is accomplished. Sam tries to sell his art, Gabbi is having sex, Sam complains about not having enough money for rent, Gabbi is having sex. It's just a continuous cycle of minor grievances that really aren't compelling nor interesting to keep my attention. And it ends on the same note it started with. On the positive side, Lawrence Lavine, Sophia Tokal and others are very good actors. 4/10

Judy I caught the screening for this film at the Chesapeake Film Festival in Easton, Maryland. It was about a 20 year old girl, Gabi, who goes to visit her brother on summer break. She is free-spirited and loves flashing her brother Sam to make him uncomfortable. Both her and Sam get into love complications that shake things up.I am a 26 year old lady and found this movie hilarious. It had me loudly laughing through the entire film. Even though the characters are right around my age, I think many people could relate to the breaking down of innocence as we come of age. We were all idiots who made stupid mistakes.This movie was vulgar with lots of nudity and sex humor - so if you can handle that, it is fantastic. It made me reflect on all the horrible Hollywood romantic comedies I've wasted my time watching - like Marley and Me or Couples Retreat. This film was real people being themselves, the naked truth. If you have the chance, I highly recommend this film. Watch it through Gabi's eyes, free and joyful.
