This movie starts pretty well as a mildly comedic indie movie about Hooters-style restaurant manager Regina Hall (excellent) dealing with her job and her messy personal life. But in spite of bright spots, like Haley Lu Richardson as a sweet, somewhat dim waitress seemingly born for the job, the movie becomes increasingly dour.

The closest thing to a message this movie has is, "good managers are rare and necessary," but really, it just goes on and on without getting anywhere.

I mean,, the plot seems purposeful an all, but the movie itself was just slow and the script is a kinda disconnected and all over the place,

The cast was okay,, i like Regina Hall she always engage well with the scenes and her facial expressions are just good... but the other girls and guys were all mediocre at best.

Not strongly recommended

If not for anything else, I love movies that give the audience a 'slice of life' glimpse into a certain person's lifestyle. Support the Girls does that in the way of showing what it takes (physically and emotionally) to manage a business/restaurant. It's pretty much all told in one restaurant (Hooters type) as Lisa (Regina Hall) sees her viewpoint change during one fateful day 'in the office'. If it weren't an independent film, with more advertising behind it, I would think that maybe Hall could have gotten some Oscars love for her performance. She's absolutely delightful to watch, as is Haley Lu Richardson, who is quickly jumping up the charts of young stars to watch for. It doesn't have a huge plot or any twists and turns, but it was a consistently enjoyable 90 minutes of a life that I was not previously accustomed to.

7.5/10
