Rating: 3/4 -- Nair and writer Laura Cahill dare to build a movie around some flawed but rather unexceptional women, emerging with a fine character study that's short on plot but rich in the tiny revelations of real life. Full Review

The actors pull out all the stops in nearly every scene, but to diminishing effect. The characters never change.

Rating: C- -- Everything was as superficial as the forced New Jersey lowbrow accent Uma had. Full Review

Product Description:

A pair of Jersey girls wander through the singles bar scene of the New York City suburb of Bayonne. As they seek lasting relationships amidst the smoky dive bars and Springsteen songs, Debby (Uma Thurman) and Beth (Juliette Lewis) begin to understand that love isn't like the pop songs that are played on the jukeboxes. The men these two women find are interested in shorter term commitments. Directed by Mira Nair (MONSOON WEDDING), this cable original earned Uma Thurman a Golden Globe for her performance.
