This is what would amount to a quite forgettable film if not for a power house performance by the great actress Emily Watson. She is simply electric in her sequence and brings this motion picture completely alive. It is amazing how her sexuality explodes on the screen with the simple act of showing her slip and moving across the room. This is one of the most sensual scenes ever filmed and other actresses might study how a real woman expresses her very being. Her performance is one of the most magnetic and memorable in any movie this year and save this otherwise dismal effort from the dustbin of cinema. It is fascinating to watch such a gifted woman grow in her craft when it hardly seems possible for her to become even greater. Her artistry is simply astonishing.

I'm wondering if the main character is making the rounds to his various ex-girlfriends to gather material for his next novel. The trips down memory lane are vague and general, without specifics. Adam Brody's character doesn't remember details. Was he emotionally connected to any of them, or is this lazy writing? The actors are great. Adam Btody has turned into a hunk since The O.C. He's awfully cute.At first our writer seems to have matured into a sensitive person. He wants to be faithful to his fiancée. Later, he refers to her as just some girl who's going to nursing school. Diminishing a current girlfriend is not impressive. This characterization is confusing and inconsistent, These actors do a great job with what little that have. Dialog needs to be more specific and more colorful.As another reviewer suggested, this seems to have evolved from a play. No action. Most of the "in-action" takes place in the hotel room.

I just found this film very confusing, I can't say if it was bad or good, I honestly don't know, that's why I came here to read the others their reviews. I keep asking myself: "Was the subject of the movie useless or not? Is there more meaning to it? What does the writer want to tell us, there must be some kind of explanation. I think the writer tried to show the audience something, but it didn't come across. The film wasn't boring at all! The scenes with that young girl and Kristen bell were so crazy interesting, I just kept on staring and being shocked, I even caught myself looking like a freak, while watching this movie. I can't even write a review about this movie, I'm that confused. I just hope more people could watch this movie and tell me what they were thinking. It wasn't bad, there were some fantastic scenes in there, so give it a chance I need closure, I seriously do!

This film is about a writer who visits his ex-girlfriends to make amends before his wedding.In "Some Girl(s)" we see the man visiting five ex-girlfriends, who all have different reactions to his visit. The reactions are quite real, especially the first one who claims that she is fine after fifteen years, but in fact not. The emotional roller coaster is quite striking and memorable, so it is a good start to a film. The second one I didn't quite like, then there is an older woman who is manipulative and smart. The fourth one is about a young girl whose subplot is a little disturbing. The main story is probably the end one with Kristen Bell, as there is a shocking revelation twist ending which attempts to make the film more memorable, but does not have the intended effect."Some Girl(s)" is an alright drama, but it is definitely not a comedy.
