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.

Fed up with being mistreated by men, meek college student Shae (a solid and appealing performance by the gorgeous Danielle Panabaker) joins forces with uninhibited wild girl Lulu (a dynamic and mesmerizing portrayal by luscious redhead Nicole LaLiberte) to wage war on all the evil scumbag guys who have wronged them. Writer/director Austin Chick certainly has his heart in the right place with this feminist treatise on a misogynistic society, but alas stacks the deck way too much by presenting almost every last male character as a detestable creep. Moreover, the meandering narrative, sluggish pace, and glum tone make this film quite a heavy-going chore to slog through. Worse yet, Chick generates precious little tension and fails to properly follow through on the edgy potential of the promising premise by having the violence either occur off screen or displaying disappointing restraint when comes to the gore. The lame and obvious "surprise" twist ending doesn't help matters much as well. Fortunately, the strong chemistry between the two leads keeps the movie watchable, Chick shows a real flair for striking stylish visuals (Kat Westergaard's sharp cinematography is stunning throughout), and Nathan Larson's moody score hits the brooding spot. A strictly so-so film.

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

This is a revenge movie ... or is it? There might be more to it, than you first think. Of course it's also something that people might feel cheated about. Why try to make something more intellectual than it is? But it does put/shed new light on the rest of the movie. You can decide how to see or observe some of the scenes. One might say it warrants a second viewing too.The acting is solid, though we do get a few clichés thrown our way. And as stated the ending might not win you over to its cause yet. There is blood and violence and some minor nudity. There is also a very obvious hint at the beginning of the movie, that actually is followed by a flashback. Is it too smart, not smart enough? It has its flaws (emotional detachment being amongst them), but you can watch it, if you like those kind of movies (doesn't matter if you're a girl or not)
