Girls Will Be Girls is a hilarious and irreverent comedy from 2003 featuring three drag queens fighting for stardom in Hollywood. The movie stars Jack Plotnick as Evie Harris, the aging and delusional former star of a 1960s sitcom, who is now living in a run-down mansion with her two glamorous and equally delusional roommates, Coco (Clinton Leupp) and Varla (Jeffery Roberson). The movie was directed by Richard Day and produced by the award-winning independent production company, Strand Releasing.

The movie opens with a scene of Evie performing a dramatic monologue in her bedroom, hidden away from the world, surrounded by old Hollywood memorabilia and cigarette smoke. We then meet Coco, who is holding an audition for her one-woman show, "P.S. I Love Coco". Varla shows up uninvited and creates chaos with her outrageous behavior. The three of them argue, drink, and insult each other, but they share a bond that keeps them together.

The plot thickens when a naive and eager young actress named Polly (Eric Stonestreet) moves into the mansion to live with the girls and launches her career with the help of her new roommates. Soon after her arrival, Polly falls in love with a handsome and wealthy producer named Mark (Ron Mathews), who becomes fascinated by Coco and her diva-like behavior. Mark offers Coco a role in his new movie, but only if she loses weight and becomes more glamorous.

Meanwhile, Evie is trying to revive her acting career by landing a recurring role on a soap opera. She auditions for the part of Vicki, a grieving mother, but fails to impress the casting director. Evie is devastated and seeks the advice of her friend, Jackie Beat, a successful drag performer (played by himself). Jackie tells her to channel her grief over her failed career into her acting and to focus on her strengths as an artist.

Varla, on the other hand, is struggling with her desire to have a baby. She laments the fact that she can't carry a child and that her partner has left her. Varla embarks on a series of unsuccessful attempts to have a baby, including adopting a monkey and trying to inseminate herself with a turkey baster. Eventually, Varla accepts her limitations and decides to focus on her career instead.

The movie is filled with hilarious one-liners, outrageous costumes, and over-the-top performances. The three drag queens are all excellent in their roles and have a great chemistry together. Jack Plotnick is particularly impressive as the delusional Evie, delivering some of the funniest lines in the movie with perfect timing and comic timing. Clinton Leupp and Jeffery Roberson are equally great as Coco and Varla, respectively, bringing their own unique style and humor to their roles.

In addition to the three main characters, Girls Will Be Girls features a number of supporting characters, including a gay man who falls in love with Varla, a sleazy photographer who tries to exploit Polly, and a group of elderly gay men who attend Coco's show. All of these characters are well-written and add to the overall humor and charm of the movie.

Overall, Girls Will Be Girls is a hilarious, outrageous, and incredibly fun comedy that celebrates diversity, creativity, and the power of friendship. The movie is an important contribution to LGBT cinema and a testament to the talent and dedication of its creators. Whether you're a fan of drag queens, Hollywood satire, or just want to see a great comedy, this movie is not to be missed.

Girls Will Be Girls is a 2002 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 19 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.9 and a MetaScore of 52.
