"Whirlygirl" is a unique film in one major respect. The misadventures of university student James (Julian Morris) are not that special. Some of the banter between James and his university friends is fun to watch, but those scenes are few and far in between. Instead the film gambles on the appeal of Monet Mazur's main character, the mysterious "Whirlygirl," who is supposed to be so enchanting and irresistible to us (as she is to James) that we can excuse and even overlook the lack of plot in this entire film. Whirlygirl is meant to represent every guy's image of an irresistible beauty from high school or university who makes our hearts flutter and every moment of our existence electrifying and profoundly meaningful. This film's main ambition and its great gamble is to accomplish that very feat with Monet Mazur's "Whirlygirl."Yet the gamble, for the most part, does not pay off. Monet Mazur gives only a capable performance as the "Whirlygirl," when she needs to give us an extraordinary one that matches up to her character's legendary reputation as a mysterious, intriguing and enchanting beauty. For a film that relies so much on character for its appeal, Monet Mazur's "Whirlygirl" is surprisingly lacking in the kind of character that can leave us with a lasting impression. This failure can be attributed partly to Monet Mazur's only capable acting (when she really needed to be extraordinary) and also to the fact that the script does not give her much to do.Perhaps if another actress was given the part of the "Whirlygirl" and if the screenplay writers gave more thought to further developing the "Whirlygirl" character, then this film would actually be good. Instead, "Whirlygirl" has the potential of a great film, but falls short of realizing it.

Wow, this was really terrible.I don't care if they say it was based on a true story, this honestly, and I'm serious, honestly, was the worst movie I have ever seen. The actors were OK, but the story line was just plain stupid. It's about a stripper/escort who honestly looks 10 years older than the main character and his obsession with her, amongst the other 2 or 3 nutballs involved in her life. She out weighs him by at least 20 pounds and he thinks he can go busting into homes/apts in New York like he's freakin spiderman or something. At least in the end he gets a grip...oh my I seriously would never recommend this movie to anyone. What a waste of time.

What else would you give your own personal story...This film is probably a coincidence but 9 out of the 10 things that happened in this movie are about me...I attended Avon Old Farms (Where the movie was filmed)I played Hockey there (The lead actor Plays Hockey)The 2nd weekend there I got caught with a girl off campus and was about to get kicked out when...(Don't want to spoil the ending)The Boardroom scene was verbatim.The Teachers were identical.The only thing they left out was my name....I'm very interested in meeting the writer considering the DVD says based on a true story...Yours Truly,The Legend of Avon Old Farms...Todd JohnsonP.S. Looks like getting kicked out of AOF 22 years ago was finally worth it.

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.
