Whirleygirl stars Julian Morris as a student athlete at a prestigious academy who falls for a stripper who comes to the school to perform. Morris is the straight laced student who figures out how to get a stripper on the grounds to perform. As she is dancing she notices him and gives him a kiss and steals a valuable memento off of him. He actually tracks her down to retrieve his belongings and romance ensues. This is definitely a take off of "Risky Business" but is nice in its own way. Monet Mazur plays the stripper and she does a good job. Morris also does a good job as the good guy torn by his attraction to the free spirted "whirley girl". This is an OK drama and worth viewing.

Whirlygirl suffers primarily from a bad script and poor direction. The script lacks the closure of a third act; we are left hanging thinking there needed to be something more. There is a rescuer scene which I guess the director thought would be a climax but the movie has an episodic feel to it.This film is based on a true story. Well the scriptwriter should have embellished it since true stories do not make compelling films. The lead actor Julian Morris does a decent job with the material but the rest of the cast performances are flat. In fact one of the students, who was acting like he was just waking up had a believability level of zero. Speaking of Morris, I had just watched him in Cry Wolf where he also plays a prep school student and his character seems to have walked out of that slasher movie into this one. Slasher movies can get by without any character development but a film like Whirlygirl requires it.Hats off to DP Christo Bakalov for delivering some great images to such a hollow story.

When i first saw this movie i thought it was going to suck. but i was actually surprised at the effort that the people put into making this movie. although it wasn't a very popular nor original film i still liked it. another thing i liked is how it was filmed at my school Avon Old Farms. when i was watching it, i was in my common room where one of the scened was filmed in, it was cool to see the common room being used by other people besides the school kids. this movie was a lot like "the girl next door" when i say this i mean that it had the plot involving 2 kids, a rebel teenage girl and a not-so-rebel teenage boy. the plot pretty much consists of the girl turning the boy into a rebel and the bay turning the girl into a not-so-rebel girl. like i said, it was a lot like "the girl next door" just not casted with famous people. overall its a good film, i suggest anyone who reads this should see it.

The movie adopts the classic story of a good boy falling for the bad girl and turning her around from her misguided life. The action is very similar to the movie "The Girl Next Door", doesn't have many strong differences. Anyway it's still a fun-to-watch movie.On a larger description, this young guy who's studying very hard on a good university falls for a strip dancer when she comes to dance for their little party and kisses him (stealing his watch in the same time). He goes in New York to find her to get his watch back and from from them on she drags him trough many adventures which almost cause him to be expelled out of the university. I won't mention the end not to spoil the movie experience for those who read my comment, but I'll say this, he manages to turn her around but it happens the other way around also. Watch it, it's not a waste of time.
