Movie Reviews of Girlfriends - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Girlfriends DVD's have FINALLY made a debut!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is nothing to take lightly, the Girlfriends DVD's are finally here for all who adore them (including myself) FOREVER!. I must say that I have never been so happy recieving a DVD collection of a show so much before than I was with Girlfriends. The DVD contains all of the actual episodes from Season 1, and when I say ACTUAL EPISODES, what I mean is that there isn't any editing, cut scenes, or anything that would take away from the raw essence of the episodes from Season 1, you gotta love that!. OmG, can we say yum about Joan's Season 1 boyfriend Shawn?!. Joan and Toni are a reflection of myself and my homegirl. We both adore the show and sometimes have ourselves a Girlfriends up-all-night get together with popcorn, wine, and all the fixings you need for a Girlfriends extravaganza!. Maya keeps you laughing constantly with her wild instincts ''Black Detective''--LOL. Finally Lynn...well...Lynn she be going through some things! There is such a multi array of African American women in this show and it was a winner from the start from the very begining straight up to it's departure. All in all, through and through, up and down, Girlfriends, for me will always remain one of my all time favorite African American television shows. I am simply thankful that almost every Season has finally converted to DVD and I will now own every last season created!
Summary of Girlfriends - The Complete First Season
GIRLFRIENDS is a sophisticated comedy series that invites viewers into the lives of four professional African American women living in Los Angeles who are struggling with the weighty issues of life - men love money -- and more men. As they search for happiness in all its elusive forms the four girlfriends rely on each other for support reality checks advice and for the laughter that everyone needs to make it in this crazy place we call the modern world.System Requirements:Run Time: 471 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?097361222646 Manufacturer No:?122264Like Sex & the City, Living Single, and Friends, Girlfriends focuses on a group of best pals whose lives are forever intertwined, for better or for worse. On the first season of Girlfriends--which aired during 2000-2001--we are introduced to a comely group of women. There's Joan (Tracee Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross), a sensible attorney who's unlucky in love; her sassy assistant Maya (Golden Brooks); Joan's happy-go-lucky roommate Lynn (Persia White); and their man-eating friend Toni (Jill Marie Jones). That the women are African American is incidental, because their stories are universal. The adore each other, but each is seeking love and validation, not that the two necessarily go hand in hand. While their escapades lead to many laughs, the writers include enough poignant moments that the show has some heart. Even when Toni goes on a date with Joan's ex--a major violation amongst any group of girlfriends--the women manage to work their issues out in a way that is realistic enough to be recognizable, but comedic enough that we laugh at their antics. The four-disc set includes all 22 episodes from its debut season, including "Never a Bridesmaid," in which Joan and Maya collaborate to coordinate a wedding together. Executive produced by Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers), the sitcom is smart and well cast. There is genuine chemistry between the four leads, and Reggie Hayes has wonderful comic timing as their much-put upon best male friend William. Ross, who shares her mother's fine-boned beauty, proves to be deceptively good with physical comedy. That she is gorgeous is lost on Joan, who in real life would be working her looks to her utmost advantage. More than just girlfriends, Joan, Maya, Lynn, and Toni are great friends. --Jae-Ha Kim
