Girls Against Boys

source: Girls Against Boys

Amazing about the gender war experienced by women in a male dominated society without being preachy. Definitely worth a watch. Not a chick flick or action, or even a horror (unless you're a guy who doesn't respect women). Very serious and intense. There's a lot of hidden context, and at times, shows how differently a woman has to view the world for their safety (especially if you take a scene and switch the genders, since this would end in very different actions from the characters, eg, the section after the Captain Crunch scene). Brilliant movie about the gender war experienced by women in a male dominated society without being preachy. Has a lot of hidden context. Definitely recommended. One of those movies you shouldn't miss, and should probably show your daughters/sisters.

This movie was so refreshing to see. I had thoughts that it would be another teen slasher type movie (which isn't all bad) but it turned out to be one of the best movies I've seen this year! I love the revenge style movies and this one was a great surprise. The acting in it was great, the storyline was very good, and it kept me intrigued with every frame. Its one of those films where you see it and you want more, and you could quite easily see again any time. I was disappointed when it finished because of that reason, I wanted more. There are some confronting scenes (which made the film for me), and you can't help but want to see Shae get her revenge. A top-notch movie here, and for that I give it an 8.5 out of 10. Highly recommend it.

well this is a great movie with great acting everything was perfect in this movie main character (negative rule) acting was so good ,well this movie is about a girl Shae (Danielle Panabaker ) after a series of bad experience with men,shae teams up with her Co ;worker Lu (NICOLE LaLiberte,who has a simple deadly way,of dealing with the opposite sex well u can said its really a great,outstanding movie of 2013,i did not know why so much negative review about this movie maybe all r men which r against this movie so much because women is in this movie with there full power and I request to the audience don't notice r care about movie low rating (which is not a good rating) and don't notice negative review because movie is great by himself not need to be a good rating r any prove of his perfectness because when people watched this movie they must loved it its movie only just for open hearted people which not be jealous that why female did bad with guys) so must watched this movie a really great story with twist with great acting and great music I simply say I loved it

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS is another cheap revenge picture with a battle-of-the-sexes slant. It feels very much like a cheap I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE remake and even features an actor or two who appeared in one of those films, I can't remember which. This one seems to have even less plot than usual and is merely a string of set-pieces of the main two characters going around and butchering unsuspecting blokes, some of them deserving, some of them not. I find films like this one almost entirely devoid of merit. The cheap digital look of the production is almost anti-cinematic and an example of everything I DON'T want to see in a film. The acting is generally weak and exaggerated and the violence brief and not very shocking. The subject matter is distasteful but the approach is so lame that none of it is possible to take seriously.

I find it a bit creepy to be on the internet sometimes. Part of the reason is the ugly undercurrent of misogyny that permeates so many comments sections and user reviews (you know who you are BTW.)They tend to rant about women who don't want to f#@k them or how they believe feminists are ruining everything for men in America. I'm mostly going on and on, but what I'm getting at is that there's some awful human beings on the internet and around the world. So, I must admit that I went into "Girls Against Boys" with a level of interest, as it would be nice to see a horror film from a feminists perspective. What I got instead...was kind of a mess. Shae (Danielle Panabaker) has undergone a traumatic experience in the form of being raped by a seemingly "nice" guy. To add insult to injury, the guy she's been seeing (Andrew Howard) is married and with kids, and seems to be more interested in nookie than helping her cope. The only person who seems to understand is Lu (Nicole LaLierte), her co-worker, who believes revenge is the only answer. Unfortunately, her idea of revenge involves murder, and when Shae actually does show interest in an actually nice guy, Lu becomes jealous. I appreciate what director Austin Chick is aiming for here. One could say that there should be more horror films done from a feminist's perspective. While I must commend the performances (Panabaker in particular is good. Girl deserves to be a bigger star IMO), the end result is lacking. There's violence, but there isn't a whole lot of gore here, so fans of that will be disappointed. It also largely feels more like a generic indie movie than it does a horror movie. It clearly wants to be a respectable horror movie, but it doesn't understand how horror works. Which leads me to my biggest complaint-for all it's good intentions, "Girls Against Boys" seems to lack the courage of it's convictions. It's attempts to comment on gender roles in society feel undercooked, and once the revenge aspect comes to play, it all feels like your basic revenge movie. It clearly wants to say something about these issues in society (and in horror in general), but instead of being a thoughtful commentary or a "Men, Women and Chainsaws" style examination, it all feels "Been here, done that." The fact that Lu ends up becoming obsessed with Shae also feels unnecessary. It's feels exploitative in a "Hey, lesbians!" way, but this is not a movie that needs that. In trying to play it both ways, the film muddles whatever message it intends to have. If you want to have an intelligent, feminist take on the horror genre-the go watch "Audition", "The Descent" or "Ginger Snaps" instead. Those movies actually make you think about gender roles and equality in the genre. This is just pretending to understand when it doesn't know s#!t.

When i first heard this movie, heard the title and watch the trailer, it makes me interesting to watch it. The cast were good. The acting were good. but the storyline is stupid. Don't dress too short and don't act like a * if you wanted to be respected by boys or by people who surrounds you. Then you will feel bad if you get cheeky by boys or by those people who surrounds you. When i watch this movie, It kinda shows that all boys were bad and it also kinda shows not to have mercy when boys have done something bad or what we call a sin.

it seems that nearly EVERYONE missed the point of this movie. LU was not real. she was Shae's shadow, her through the looking glass other self. there was even a poster there, in the penultimate scene, with the word ALICE, seen through the looking glass. Shae had worked through her revenge fantasies, and learnt that it did not make her feel better. she had learnt that that the thirst for revenge prevented her forming new relationships and she had defeated her own desires for it. the final scene showed that Lu was part of Shae explicitly - with Lu smoking in the background ( beyond the wall) as Shae sits on the stairwell. all that aside, what a great movie. love the acting, the cinematography and the well synced soundtrack. a great great movie

The lead actress in this movie is spell-binding...totally sinister, and you can't take your eyes off her wondering what's going on behind those evil eyes. The horror movie category isn't for everyone, so be ready for some guts and gore in this film -- this movie is definitely not for the faint of heart. Although the violence is over the top, there is a subtlety to the plot, particularly the ending (no spoilers here, but the twist leaves the audience thinking about everything they have just watched in a whole new light). Girls Against Boys opened at the SXSW festival, which was the perfect setting for it: a bit quirky, cutting edge, and totally hip with some edge. It awesome to see the girls showing those bad boys who's boss!

I rated this movie 1 because it's not possible to rate it zero or less. Basically a half a page of screen writing seems to satisfy the director in justifying a badly played idiotic gore fest which is frankly borderline pervert because it hides behind would-be feminism and pseudo female abuse to try to justify showing atrocious violence. Let's just flash a policeman her private parts behind transparent underwear then kill him in a painful humiliating way top punish him for a short concupiscent glance. As a tasteless comedy striving to be funny it could perhaps have satisfied a few blood hungry hormonally supercharged drunken teenagers. As it is I bet it will disgust even violent film lovers who will see right through it, e.g. just an excuse to film inhuman tortures, dismemberment, exploding organs Did I mention that the acting, filming, (lighting?), costume or music did nothing to save the movie? Frankly a direct-to-dustbin would have been the correct distribution.
