  1. 100
    The movie's triumph is that we experience the ending, in which the three girls go mostly separate ways, not as a defeat but as a transition still open to possibilities.
  2. The movie draws us into the illusion that we're simply eavesdropping on the lives of three inner-city black and Hispanic girls.
  3. 30
    One of those movies that you continue to pull for even after it becomes clear that it isn't very good.
