While on Christmas break, college student Michael journeys to Quebec City to spend time with his attractive girlfriend, Gabriella. Not long after he arrives, Gabriella breaks up with him, but her two equally gorgeous sisters waste no time showing romantic interest. In the meantime, Michael is left to deal with Gabriella's eccentric grandmother and offbeat father, an academic who spends most of his time naked.

good back-story, and good acting

Neive Bellamy

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Want to see Patrick Dempsey naked?...uhhh..Some Girls... Not now, back then. Back in 1988, when 20 years old Patrick Dempsey and 18 years old, Jennifer Connelly played together in "Some Girls" a different teen movie. Well, for the boys which are keen on seeing a sexy 18 years old Jennifer Connelly chased around by the cute doctor from Grey's Anatomy, in a mahogany castle with very little clothes on, then this is it.Well get your girl, wife etc.. and turn in for a good movie to remember how it was. Not now, back then.Although it hadn't score big on IMDb for a movie from 1988, when IMDb was not around to keep score, the movie is not what you'd expect. Not some soapy soap opera or a teen comedy that you'll easily predict, this is painted in tones of brown and whites with a sparkle of green.Patrick Dempsey, which in my opinion I wouldn't call exactly beautiful, (not now, back then) is the main actor and plays a troubled young men who gets the *friendzone of the mothers of friendzones.*(for the uninitiated, friendzone = you get this from the girl that you love desperately and all she wants from you is to be just friends)Looking back at his career it's like he chooses these type of guys who eventually get out of the zone. As if he wants us to know that yes, it's possible. (Can't buy me love / Made of Honor / Enchanted etc )Jennifer Connelly is exactly as i thought, because this is the first movie that you should see with her: the angel with cold ice heart that every teen boy had a crush on, sometime in his growing up years. She was 18, i don't know if i mentioned that. For a more mature representation in the same era, I strongly suggest this movie: The Hot spot.The directing is beautiful because of the tones he chooses. The shots are naturally and flow easily with in the story which looks like it's pulled out from a book or maybe they have done such a good job that you think this was from a book.Other works from MR. Hoffman will let you find that he does have a different eye on these kind of movies.Nevertheless, eye candy is there for boys and girls as well, but the film does know when to turn serious and when to play with your smile.IMDb was not around back then so, some of the good movies are getting sided because of this. I know life it's happening and stuff, but some of them deserve just a little more than a 6 mark.PS: HUGE ONE!Mr. Dempsey who played the most romantic movies of the 90's and 00's earns my appreciation for the way he does that and how easily he can make it seem, but also for... and I do mean i look up at him for this... for some years now, he is racing. Yes, he has a team and the works.Imagine, just imagine if all the other actors will not pussy out and start participating in sports like him.Enjoy!

I hired it originally on VHS when it was called "Sisters" cos there was nothing else. I loved it and it is still one of my most favourite movies of all time. Because it is totally different from most predictable movies, this is so unpredictable and that is its charm. I even bought the ex rental video when the video shop closed. Its funny, romantic and a tear jerker all rolled into one, the granny scene made me cry every time I watched it.. The family in the film are so bizarre that you could happily feel better in the knowledge that your life is so less complicated, I so recommend it if you want a funny and touching movie.. but I would certainly have some hankies nearby, believe me you would need them.

This film goes beyond the usual boundaries of its genre insurprising and sensitive ways. While always amusing, it is alsogenuinely intelligent and genuinely emotional without ever beingpreachy or maudlin, thus placing itself far above 98% of the filmsout there. Jennifer Connelly gives a luminous performance andPatrick Dempsey infuses his character with a flawless combination of frustration, joy and wonder. The story itself isgrounded in the "coming of age" sex comedies of the 70's and80's, just long enough to set things in motion. Once the film reallyhas its own legs, however, it delves more deeply into thecomplicated and strange family relations that drive the themes andpropel the plot toward a beautiful and somewhat unexpectedconclusion."Some Girls" has easily been among my favorite films since thefirst time I viewed it as a rental I had not previously heard of. Theonly tip-off that it might be something extraordinary was the superbsupporting cast, and I have rarely been so delighted at havingpicked a winner.

Just when you think you know where this movie is headed, it goes off in an unexpected direction. Michael, played by Patrick Dempsey, visits his former college girlfriend over Christmas in Quebec and quickly becomes entwined in her family's eccentric ways. Michael's quest to rekindle his romance with Gaby pushes him to the limits of total frustration and leads to several hilarious situations involving Gaby, her sisters, her perpetually naked father, and the family dog!This plot would normally be enough for most movies, but the whole tone of the film changes when Gaby's grandmother is introduced. Granny confuses Michael with her long dead husband and the sheer strength of her performance leads the movie into a whole new and unexpectedly spiritual direction. The scenes between Michael and the Grandmother are touching and make an ordinary movie into a truly special one.
