It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The title might lure the unsuspecting into thinking this is a standard WIP flick. Sadly, if you are looking for shower scenes, butch commandant guards and bunk bed fights, you will be disappointed. The gals escape very early into reel one, and the rest of the time rush about in an uninspiring road movie. Little of the exploitation fare which many of us so appreciate is present. Dont hurry out to buy this one. You can safely leave these girls unchained for others ....
