This movie underwhelmed me. Not the worst but not very good / memorable either.

Because of the horrible review I read I really didn't expect much. So, I was surprised to find that this movie as really quite charming. The acting as not so horrible but if you're from L.A. it might have seemed mocking of the "valley girl" way of speech. However, many girls across the U.S. really do talk like that no thanks to 90210. It was a comedy. It didn't seem any more forced than many of the really bad comedies coming out of Hollywood these days with huge lead actors. It was a cute little movie.

This movie was terrible, I had to turn it off and I NEVER do that. The acting was cringe worthy and the jokes were terrible. Where she's like I put my finger down there and just left.. I thought maybe the response would be I was nervous or something. She instead is all, I didn't know what to do...? Like common you've never touched yourself? The guy you dated never touched you?!

An entertaining film, with a pleasant rhythm that lets pass the time quickly, besides some performances by Natasha Negovanlis and Elise Bauman are very acceptable and it shows the rapport and communication that have Carmilla.

But even so, there are changes of rhythm that dislocate, since at the hour approximately does not understand why the change in the relationship between the two protagonists, this at least slows down the pace with which the story is being told and leaves us with A last half hour a little to the must as it feels like two completely different films. Besides that the characters never manage to be well developed by the same thing can not have a clear acceptance towards them.

In summary it is not a bad movie, but in the trailer it looked much better than the final product.

It was really adorable and I LOVED the great wordplay with innuendos that are sprinkled all around in the movie. The relationships are actually rather fascinating. But... I am sorry to say that some of the jokes almost ruined the movie for me. Most had me seriously cracking up...But then...1. "50yo woman with two mentally disabled sons". It was actually cruel. Also, really... insensitive. It is just not wise or kind to mock others, especially if you never took the time to even consider what it would be like to be them, or how they actually got there. Also, 2. "Bald 40yo man that runs a convenience store". This Really repulsed me because if you care anything about immigrants, refugees, just people in general, this humor is shows ignorance. Is this Trump humor? Just random blows at innocent people based off of faulty assumptions! Be careful about your humor. It can really ruin an otherwise great movie! Now, another joke was chosen by the writers to carry on throughout the movie, and it was incredibly harsh. It was when the girls continued to bash a man and reduce him as a person to nothing more than the embarrassing size of his penis. Haven't enough women dealt with this to understand how bad this makes people feel? Women are judged all the time about their bodies. Now, before you assume about me, I just want to also add that, No, I am not a man that was burned by the joking. I am just a compassionate and empathetic woman that instantly feels the sharp pain that other people might be feeling when they are attacked out of nowhere by this kind of humor. It takes more effort to be kind, but it really does matter. No one, male or female should be judged and mocked for who they are or for their shapes. Keep those hateful thoughts to yourself, please, if you must have them.

I follow the makers of this film (Sarah and Adrianna) as well as the actresses who also play Carmilla, so please know that I am trying to like this movie.

My initial thoughts on the plot of this film was that it seemed just like that Leighton Meester movie, "Life Partners" but I was desperately hoping it was not. It wasn't the best movie in the world, but it still beat this one.

I'm sorry, but I can't like this movie. It's just not possible. It's cliché, the acting is bad, the script is shallow and boring. The fact that its filled with Lesbian stereotypes to the rim just adds insult to injury.

Story line: Boring and cliché. It's filled with lesbian stereotypes and rather than a nervous exploration into the lesbian world as a "baby dyke" it ended up being incredibly shallow, typical and simply unrealistic. The film tries too hard to be funny. And while something said in the film may work among friends, film viewers aren't friends with the characters because there is no depth.

Characters: No depth to any of them whatsoever. By the end of the film you don't know them any better than at the beginning of the film.

Acting: It's OK at times, but for the most part it is not great. I expected more from Elise and Natasha outside of Carmilla. But considering how both overacted even the simplest of human interactions goes to show that both are simply too inexperienced. This was an hour and a half that I just ended up cringing and stopping the film. When it came to serious scenes, I just could not take either of them seriously.

Summary: I hate to say I hated this film. But I hated this film. It was boring, cliché, had no depth and was just not funny. I'm sorry Sarah and Adrianna, but this was a bad film. I walked away not gaining anything from this film except for cringe.

I was really excited to watch this film because I am a huge fan of the Gay Women Channel. I watched it on Netflix tonight and have to say I feel empty after finishing it... And not in a good way. The two lead performances (by Carmilla's own Elise Baumen and Natasha Negovanlis) were good, not great, and they made the most of what they had, script-wise. It almost felt like it would have worked better as a YouTube series or something serialized. The story sort of petered off and then went no where... It was also sort of off-putting to see Natasha and Elise in this situation, honestly... It was hard to believe. The stakes were never quite high enough to earn their dramatic performances. Looking forward to what all of these artists do next. Liked it, but definitely didn't love it.

The strong friendship between two young women is tested as their lives take different paths.

I am a real sucker for these feel good, coming of age type movies.

I loved this one a lot. The main characters are a little older than is standard for this genre but does ring true with the arrested development of the younger generation.

This makes a lot of fun things that have become clichés for being clichés. Like for instance: parents reactions over hearing their child is gay.

The story has a lot of standard elements but has enough kinks to keep it interesting - some of the characters "get away" with being quite ghastly but are till endearing.

The chemistry between the two female leads really makes this film. Unfortunately the scenes with the male lead didn't work for me. Somehow the actors just didn't gel.

Nothing massively funny or deep here, just good-hearted, humorous, feel good viewing.

I love the tandem between Elise and Natasha and I was hoping that this will be one of the may things that will bring out the potential in them but it didnt.

The writing was so juvenile. There was hardly a plot and not even something that will teach us by the end of the movie.

The camera is moving a lot too.

Elise and Natasha were still awesome though. but this is really bad.

I'm not familiar with the two actresses. I wasn't expecting much. The film itself is a relatively low budget situational drama. It could probably make a decent play.

What I enjoyed was the kookiness of the two leads. They were overacting but then half the story is about overreacting, being a bit annoying and self centred. But as friends, they don't realise it until the friendship is tested. But I liked all the little ways they were reacting to each other, there was real chemistry there. The levity helped break the moments of tension.

I felt there were some overdone moments. The last scene should have been cut. But I guess it shows how both got closure and moved on. The pacing in the story drifts a bit so it's slightly too long. The story isn't convoluted but also not very deep and plays up to some huge cliches, for instance not all women who play softball/soccer/football/sports are lesbians. The way they talk in the film is also annoying at first, but aside from the parents.. That's true of all the actors except the soccer chick.

transphobic, misogynistic, albeist. this movie claims to be good representation it's not it's a disgrace to the community. a movie like almost adults is supposed to normalize being gay, but not at the expense of the rest of the lgbtq+ community. people going in to see good representation will see and be influenced by the transphobia, misogyny, and, ableism in this movie, ultimately creating more divisions in the community and making us fight against each other instead of with each other. although, I never expected anything more from the gay women channel. their videos on their YouTube channel feature loads of the same issues as well as biphobia. you can't make a film like this claiming it's for LGBT people when it's really just for cis gays who don't care about the rest of the community.

What do we learn from this minimalist story? Filmwise: no director ideas, no choreography whatsoever as the camera frames - level waiting for the mediocre actors to enter and exit the frame, no suspence nor surprises throughout, uninteresting location and standard art work. The story: The lesbian persona finally finds someone to test her sexuality, yet she seems very skilled although little happens on the screen (maybe to keep the comedy going). Her straight friend is there simply to react to the newfound sexual interest from her life long friend. Their gay guru is the thinking person, both parents are there as a caricature of "sexually politically correct" parents, but while the gay young man delivers deep suggestions and advice, the parents seems too busy with their own life to react to their kids in any ways at all. What we learn about this all? Hedonism is the key driving the whole cast through a cliche which could only happen in a conventional and quite boring script. Perhaps "egoism" is far more interesting, and while he learn little about it is consistent in each character and event. One of those meaningless movies design for the LGBT community, but was it really necessary to invest time, resources and more to take it to the screen? Certainly these themes are serious, but how long it will take before they move on and stop being propaganda, and deliver content rather than containers only, especially when the container is so poor?

I honestly don't know why there are so many negative reviews; I thought it was super sweet, relateable, funny, and a breath of fresh air both in terms of representation and in the fact that it didn't fall prey to most LGBTQ fiction tropes or film clichés in general. It was very real and also just kept me giggling, and the actors are all fantastic. New favorite!

Perfectly showed how people can grow apart in life, especialy when someone gains a boyfriend or girlfriend
