Storyline

Michael, a college student, visits his girlfriend Gabriella and her family for Christmas in Canada. When he gets there, she tells him that she doesn't love him any more. Meanwhile, her family is exceedingly strange: her father is a writer who spends most of his time wandering the house nude. Her grandmother mistakes Michael for her dead husband. Her two sisters express interest in him. Granny escapes the hospital and heads back to her home in the woods, and the family chases after her, and Michael is kept reeling.

Classy 80s romance
28 October 2002 | by (London, England) – See all my reviews

In a perfect world Patrick Dempsey would lead a career similar of that of John Cusack's. He is a better actor, maybe not as handsome but more talented and more inspiring.

'Some Girls' is a great movie and Patrick Dempsey really helps to make it the way it is. Jennifer Connelly is as beautiful as she can be and the story is a beautiful 80s romantic tale.

Unfortunately this undiscovered gem never got the recognition it deserved, so it won't even be released on DVD. Shame...

10/10
