meaninglessbark Whirlygirl isn't terrible, but it's definitely not memorable. (It's not even engaging, had I not been working on some tedious hand tasks while it was on I would have shut it off.) If I were 14 I might have thought Whirlygirl was pretty swell. At its core the film is essentially the standard fantasy storyline of a plain boy's life being transformed by an encounter with the exotic.In Whirlygirl the exotic is the "whirlygirl" herself, an exotic dancer (she doesn't exactly strip) whose erotic dancing skills are legendary. (That seems a ridiculous plot device, even more so considering the film is set in contemporary times.) Boy goes after girl and adventures of one typical type and another ensue.The adventures in Whirlygirl never really feel all that exciting. The various self discoveries don't feel revealing. The scenes of abandoning yourself to the moment feel like imitations of better films.Whirlygirly doesn't feel like a story from someone's life, it feels like a film. Setup, plot device, plot device, plot device, cliché supposedly dramatic conclusion. The End.Despite dipping its toes into drama Whirlygirl is really just a feel good film that's not sickeningly sweet. As such it's a fine film to watch while sick on the couch or stuck in a hotel room that has free HBO.

Luis Silva Its not a big production and we could see more nudity or more romantic scenes, but it is worth to see.The story of a college boy with strong values such as responsibility who falls in love with a whirly girl. The girl made him forget the consequences and start doing some risky things for her, and actually his attitude changed this girls life who changed her meaningless live and finally found something worth in her life.It's mainly a romantic story puts the reason and the principles of this boy against his feelings.I really enjoyed.

bo-85 Whirlygirl suffers primarily from a bad script and poor direction. The script lacks the closure of a third act; we are left hanging thinking there needed to be something more. There is a rescuer scene which I guess the director thought would be a climax but the movie has an episodic feel to it.This film is based on a true story. Well the scriptwriter should have embellished it since true stories do not make compelling films. The lead actor Julian Morris does a decent job with the material but the rest of the cast performances are flat. In fact one of the students, who was acting like he was just waking up had a believability level of zero. Speaking of Morris, I had just watched him in Cry Wolf where he also plays a prep school student and his character seems to have walked out of that slasher movie into this one. Slasher movies can get by without any character development but a film like Whirlygirl requires it.Hats off to DP Christo Bakalov for delivering some great images to such a hollow story.

Clownbaby124 When i first saw this movie i thought it was going to suck. but i was actually surprised at the effort that the people put into making this movie. although it wasn't a very popular nor original film i still liked it. another thing i liked is how it was filmed at my school Avon Old Farms. when i was watching it, i was in my common room where one of the scened was filmed in, it was cool to see the common room being used by other people besides the school kids. this movie was a lot like "the girl next door" when i say this i mean that it had the plot involving 2 kids, a rebel teenage girl and a not-so-rebel teenage boy. the plot pretty much consists of the girl turning the boy into a rebel and the bay turning the girl into a not-so-rebel girl. like i said, it was a lot like "the girl next door" just not casted with famous people. overall its a good film, i suggest anyone who reads this should see it.
