Take Out Girl

source: Take Out Girl

Tera (Hedy Wong) quits college to help her mother with a bad back run her restaurant. She ends up working running drugs for the Latinos because no one suspects her of running drugs. She also meets a nice guy and there is some family drama but not enough to keep me from fast-forwarding through many slow scenes. Guide: No sex or nudity. No swearing as I recall.

I thought the main character over acted with being hard and the brother did to! But it was a pretty good film! A little more acting training and it would have been a 9!

I LOVE this movie! The main actress/writer is a revelation! The whole cast is so tight you wonder why you haven't seen more of these faces. The first half hour flies by at a clip, great soundtrack, great performances, great direction, great writing. Can't wait to see more from these creators!

I really wanted to like this film as it had a lot of potential but ultimately it failed on all fronts. The leading actress' performance was wooden to say the least, terrible dialogue, stilted editing and poor choice of camera angles. The plot falls apart after the first third of the movie and at the end, I was left wondering "Really?" Is that the best they could have come up with?"

Didn't expect much from this movie but I really liked it. Great story and acting. Also some really beautiful and touching scenes.

Looked so cheap. Seen better visuals shot on a phone. Either overly lit or colour corrected to hell. Just visual vomit. Was boring too. Tried to give it a chance but life is too short to waste on pointless drivel.

So I was really into this movie. It has great character development and the script is pretty tight. The main character is very likeable and you really want to see her succeed. However the movie forced itself into a drama around the 75% mark. I'm conflicted because while 'I enjoyed the first half I thought the second half was really contrived and somewhat ...confusing. I don't usually write reviews but I saw how few there were and thought I should add one. Ultimately the film is really enjoyable if you like the subject and plot. I can see this being a 7 or an 8 for some people easily. However for me I was disappointed with the mishmash of characters and the blatant use of irony towards the end. I still think this movie is worth seeing though. I think the writer has talent but they need to make sure they don't grab too many strings tying up loose ends.(?). Just don't watch it if your hungry because they are in an Asian restaurant a lot of the time!!!!

This film focuses on the realities of growing up in bad neighborhoods and why people strive to escape the hood
