Must Go!
Great story

by lvegas

This was a really good story with some surprises along the way. The story was crafty. The cast and acting was right on. Up until the last scene, this movie was really good. It had a good message...

For those not hip to its smug "out is in" mentality, Dirty Girl's redeeming feature is its cast. Temple is vixen enough to carry the part, but manages to project a real wit burning beneath the layers of makeup and dumb-blonde shtick her character affects around others. Read full review
