    • Trivia
      Julie Murphy, the author of the book the film is based on, made a cameo at the end of the movie.
    • Goofs
      Most of the cars, including Rosie's and Willowdean's, do not have front license plates. Currently the state of Texas requires all motor vehicles to have both front and back plates. However during a period between 2013 and 2015 it was allowed to wear only the back plate. This period was the time when the novel was written and published and where the filmmakers decided to set the film.
    • Quotes

      Willowdean: It's a protest!

      Millie: What's our point?

      Hannah: It's a revolt against the oppressive hetero-patriarchy unconsciously internalised by the female psyche!

      Millie: [Slight pause] Oh.

    A positive movie
    Is this movie very original? Not at all. It follows the common formula of such self confidence movies. But it is lovely executed and I ended up enjoying every minute of it. It is very charming and positive. Positive not just in the main message (love yourself and be who you want to be) but also in the execution and how nice the characters are. Nobody is hateful and negative to others (except for that guy in the beginning who got what he deserved). There are no nasty jury who need to be proven something, no nasty contestants trying to sabotage you, actually no mean mothers. The only person one needs to prove something to is oneself. The rest of the women and girls are very nice to each other, which is so wonderful. And this is something that was kind of special in this movie.

    Actors were also great. Jennifer Aniston is great at performing a loving mother who maybe has some misunderstandings with her daughter yet wants to do the best for her. Harold Perrineau is amazing. When I saw him first I had trouble to figure out who it is even though the face looked familiar. He is a great actor who is very different in every role I saw him.

    So if you want to see some very deep award receiving movie, this is probably not the one for you. But if you want an entertaining and positive movie that will make you feel good about life than this is a good choice.
