    Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
    Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
    tovec So this is supposed to be a comedy but I didn't find it funny at all. It's a great show to watch when you don't have anything else to watch just to pass time. Entertaining enough but not at all a masterpiece. A little silly sometimes, like they tried too hard to make it funny but overall decent.
    thuytienbui-77949 Yes, Sophia's character is annoying and eccentric, but after watching halfway through the season and especially at the end, you can see why she is like that and how deep and humorous this show actually is. In one of the last episodes, Sophia visits her mom who left her when she was twelve. It was kind of confusing how they acted like they were just friends that haven't seen each other in a while, and this kind of just happened without any explanation, but in this episode you see what sophia's mother is like and instantly see her resemblence to sophia. Her mother has a big ego and bad temper just like sophia and even sophia admits that she really is her mother's daughter. Sophia is portayed as heartless mainly becuase she doesn't express any emotion besides anger. Overtime, you see her character grow as a person. She even flies all the way to a former nemesis to make ammends. Yes, at first she is selfish and egocentric and acts like a child, but she learns to swallow her pride or lack there of and build strong connections with people and admit her faults. Despite what others say, this show was actually inspiring and not like I thought it would be. It is extremely hilarious and the casting was done extremely well. Britt Robertson does an amazing job. Even though her acting may seem forced at first, it gets better. I'm sad Girlboss didn't get renewed for another season but I encourage everyone to give it a chance because it has a very inspiring underlying message.
    pica_jova Here's the thing: the cinematpgraphy is good. But the writers somehow managed to create the most unlikable, annoying character ever on a show or movie (no, seriously) and more so, glorify her shitty behaviour. Shoplifting isn't just some nasty thing that rebels do- it's an unacceptable behaviour that is most likely gonna cause troubles to the employees- just like her AND just like the ones who would later work for her company! Could this person ever be a good boss? i doubt it and the lawsuits filled against Nasty Gal in the past years prove it. Moreover, the show misses a focal point here. It's another thing to tell a story and another thing to glorify someone's story. Everyone around her is made to look dumb and uncool- her boss in the shoe store, AN ENTIRE ART SCHOOL, the other vintage sellers on Ebay- everyone seems pathetic except the cool girl who doesn't give a shit about society, laws, other peoples feelings, politeness, moral values. The way she treated her best friend, ultimately, says it all. She is so unlikable that you really hope she fails, she takes shit back. Also, for those interested for the story of the real Sophia- Nasty Gal has filled for bankruptcy, she stepped down form the role of CEO, more and more former employees accused the founder of not knowing how to run a successfull business and sales declined. So, maybe, it needs more than just to be savy and ruthless to win the #girlboss title. It needs at least a tiny bit of ethics. (just my opinion)
    margaretray-94583 Admittedly, my expectations for this show were on the lower end of the scale. I came across the title during an attempt to ease a severe case of boredom and decided to 'give it a go'. And I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the fact that I actually enjoyed it. Let's start with our Protagonist, Sophia (Britt Robertson). I was definitely not a fan of Sophia at the beginning of the series. From the get-go, we're made aware that her character is childish and a narcissist. However, as the series progressed, I found myself admiring her character and at some points found her attitude charming. Although far- fetched in some instances, Sophia's day-to-day struggles are all too real. I found myself appreciating her stance as a strong young woman fighting to be taken seriously in a world ruled by men in charge. There are moments, however, when this tough exterior is cracked and we get a glimpse of Sophia's undertones and the vulnerabilities caused my life lessons that have shaped her person.Annie is the 'goofy' best friend who brings about the kind of funny, light-hearted humour that wonderfully compliments our irritable central protagonist. Sophia and Annie are like Yin and Yang or Patrick and SpongeBob, if you will. They're completely different people, but together they balance one another out perfectly. Their friendship adds another layer to the show that is interesting to watch, and grants a relationship to "root for" aside from the one between Sophia and her romantic interest, Shane.This series is all for Girl Power and as a young woman, I did find Sophia's story inspirational and hopeful. Her character grows from the angst ridden, self-absorbed young girl in the first episode, to the less angry, less self-absorbed, independent young woman seen at the end of the season. Overall, I think Girl Boss is a fun series that is incredibly easy to watch and I'm actually wondering when the next season will be available.
