SUPPORT THE GIRLS
"A winning, rambunctious comedy about work in America." – Danny King, The Village Voice. Lisa (Regina Hall) is the last person you'd expect to find in a highway-side "sports bar with curves," but as general manager at Double Whammies, she's come to love the place, and its customers. An instinctive den mother, she nurtures and protects her "girls" on the staff fiercely — but over the course of one trying day, her optimism is battered from every direction. Double Whammies sells a big, weird American fantasy, but what happens when reality pokes a bunch of holes in it? "While it is a very specific story in many ways, I hope that anyone who's ever worked for a living will relate," says director Andrew Bujalski. "Most of us have to buy/sell one crazy 'concept' or another to pay our bills, and some days, you're not sure if your humor and dignity will survive to the end of the shift." DIR/SCR Andrew Bujalski; PROD Houston King, Sam Slater. U.S., 2018, color, 93 min. RATED R
