Career Girls 1997

Career Girls (1997)    Two former college roommates spend the weekend together after 6 years apart.  They both have flashbacks to their college days, Annie was shy, nervous, no self-esteem and had a severe facial rash.  Hannah had strong opinions about everything and a habit of blurting them out.  In the present, Annie has gained confidence, poise, her face cleared up but she still can't relax.  Hannah cannot let a quiet moment speak for itself.
    In the scenes where they are roommates together, it's difficult to watch because Annie has so many nervous mannerisms and Hannah is always jumping around.  The present day scenes are better and don't make you feel like fingernails on a blackboard.  3* (This movie is just OK)


87 min, Comedy directed by Mike Leigh with Katrin Cartidlge, Lynda Steadman, Mark  Benton, Kate Byers, Any Serkis, Joe Tucker, Margo Stanley, Michael Healy.



Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.0 out of 10, 87% critic 85% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
