Movie Reviews of Girl 6
Movie Review: Girl 6 - listen 2 your fears (I got a 25 inch waist) (Oh yeah)
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is almost like a weird dream that you just can't shake. It only drew me in becuase it was so confusing. Blockbuster should put it in the strange but un-true isle.
"Girl 6" is a very rare movie, because as far as I can think, it's the only miss by the brilliant Spike Lee. It's just such a convoluted mix because the plot is changing and running all around in different places. The lead actress Theresa Randle (Judy) was one minute auditioning for a movie, then working as a phone sex operator and then there's all these scenes about a missing girl from NY (90's "b-talk show star," Rolonda Watts played a newscaster.) None of it made much sense to me. Theresa Randle either tried way too hard or not enough because she just didn't come off as a believable character.
And, it seemed that perhaps Spike had some very subtle messages of social equality. I especially picked this up when Jennifer Lewis (Boss #1, Lil) mouthed to all her girls that unless otherwise told, they were all "w-h-i-t-e." But this is again something that wasn't really touched upon throughout the movie.
I did enjoy the soundtrack very much, by Prince. He actually wrote an entire song of CDs just for this movie which are amazing. And the movie also includes lots of cameos: Martin-the-caller was played by Kid Creole and the Coconuts star ~ Coati Mundi, Girl #75 was played by everyone's favorite model who just can't keep her hands to herself ~ Naomi Campbell and everyone's favorite inmaterial girl played Boss #3. And Halle Berry even pops up briefly in a walk-on role as heself.
If you want to see this movie, it comes on Encore often and was just added to Comcast's on-demand menu. I wouldn't buy this movie unless it was marked down to next to nothing because this doesn't ring my bell.
