This endearing
romantic comedy about two high school girls, blue collar tomboy
Randy (
Laurel Holloman) and privileged, popular
Evie (
Nicole Ari Parker), was the first mainstream success for director
Maria Maggenti, who chronicles the odd couple's relationship from tentative first steps to full-blossoming romance. Cast almost entirely with newcomers,
The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love brings
Randy's family (a lesbian aunt and an assortment of current and past partners),
Evie's well-heeled and overprotective mother (
Stephanie Barry), and a collection of friends, enemies, one ex-boyfriend (
Andrew Wright), and one unsatisfactory affair (
Maggie Moore) into the mix, balancing the excitement and passion of adolescent romance with the pitfalls of social and familial rejection. Maintains a light and quirky tone throughout, reminiscent in many ways of the
teen comedies of
John Hughes.
