Film Threat Phil Hall
If you want pure, undiluted, 100% guaranteed entertainment, Soap Girl is the film to enjoy. This film is a wonderful work of fun, with a marvelous ensemble cast who have more energy, sex-appeal and charm than any group to strut and vamp across the camera in recent memory.

Emily B. gave it a 9:
A heart-warming movie about hope, dreams, greed and loss. This was a refreshing alternative you just never see in movies today. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film; the cinematography looks great.

David R. gave it a 9:
Essentially a melodrama, "Soap Girl" has moments of sweetness, instances of titillation, attempts at redemption, and, yes, ripples of liberation.

Henry L. gave it a 9:
A mix of low-budget camp with a high concept approach about survival, belongingness and acceptance within the confines of a tainted and jaded environment.

Jason C. gave it an 8:
Good old-fashioned movie-making rare these days.
