If it weren't for the biphobia in the film (the one bi/sexually fluid character is portrayed as unstable and "not gay enough" to be with), I probably would've given it a six or seven. This is far too common in media, and the stereotype is damaging.
As it was the film did portray well some of the issues of growing up and how it affects one's friendships.
I did relate to some of the issues the women went through.
It doesn't really reach very deeply though, and the ending is rather lackluster.
There was some good humor in the film, but the writing really needed polishing.
It was nice to see a mainstream film portray a non-straight main character.
Gabourey Sidibe was sorely underused as a minor supporting character.
