There are few movies about lesbians. After seeing this movie and the dreadful 'Bar Girls' I am beginning to believe that there are even few good ones.'The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love' enters into the lives of Randy and Evie two teenage girls on the edge of self-discovery still toying with the notion of what homosexuality is all about. Randy is an honor roll student, always clean and proper but not a snob. Evie is from the other side of the tracks and lives in a big house with her gay aunt and her aunt's lovers past and present. They come from different worlds which naturally means that they are perfect for one another. I know that when adolescents are attracted to one another it can take a long time for them to get together. When they are gay, even longer. But Randy and Evie take so long to get together that when they did, I didn't think the movie had any time to let them get to know one another.Another problem: half the time I couldn't hear what the characters were saying. This is especially illustrated in a scene in which Randy breaks the news to her friends at a fast food joint. They sit on the opposite side of the table from Randy and everyone mumbles in a monotone.The ending is all wrong, taking place at a motel with everyone running back and forth screaming and chattering like a bad Marx brothers routine.The only scene that does work: When Randy and Evie finally have sex, it is done in a wonderfully touching way. The director takes time to allow them to explore one another without the scene seeming like exploitation.I liked Evie and Randy, I just wished that the director had had sense enough to fine tune the film.

Unfortunately, this freshman effort from writer/director Maria Maggenti and her two lead actresses reeks of amateurism.Littered with painful dialogue and clunky performances, "Two Girls in Love" is implausible and inauthentic to the point of embarrassment.For a more believable (as well as more intelligent and erotic) teen lesbian love story, check out the understated and off-beat BBC production, "My Summer of Love" (2004). A similarly themed film that's downright hilarious – and with a killer score to boot -- "But I'm A Cheerleader" (1999) is a gem. From the same year, "Better Than Chocolate" has it all – humor, originality, plot, dialogue, performances, and sensuality.The only incredible thing about "Two Girls in Love" is that it got released in the first place, as without its lesbian twist it's little more than a third-rate Romeo and Juliet tale.

Recently, IFC (The Independent Film Channel) has been airing a lot of good films about lesbian relationships. This one, although basically a comedy, is one of the best. The love relationship between the young girls was right on the money... awkward, timid, scary, and full of young lust and true love. The casting of Laurel Holloman and Nicole Ari Parker was perfect. I can't help but wonder if there weren't some real sparks between those two? If I had the chance to recommend this film to anyone, I would do so gladly... as I give this film a 10.

Keeping in mind that this was the first movie either of these actresses did, it was a tolerable acting job, I suppose, but I watched this entire movie fully thinking that these were actresses, not characters, which definitely makes you enjoy a movie less (because of poor acting)Despite this, the message of the movie is clear, love conquers all, and it's a cute romance which makes some very good points about lesbianism, when dealing with parents, friends, and even other lesbians. It's a cute movie, as long as you're willing to watch an indy flick.
