I really don't understand what everybody is complaining about as pretty much every movie is a ripoff or homage of another. This one simply happens to do it in a fun, lesbian friendly fashion. I suggest actually watching it first before you write it off as 'just another rip off'.
It's a rare thing to see a movie where the lesbianism isn't just tacked on as an afterthought or swept under the rug as the story progresses. There's no men ogling them throughout the movie, nobody's suicidal, nobody has sex with some random dude to spite their girlfriend (something that kills a film like this for me), and the flaws of the characters and their relationships are true to life. It manages to avoid all the pitfalls that normally plague a lesbian flick and I applaud it for that.
The low point of the movie would have to be the soundtrack which, while having one or two good songs, mostly falls flat. It doesn't quite kill the mood but it certainly doesn't improve it either.
On the whole it's a refreshing take on a great concept and a must see if you're looking for a lesbian flick that's actually positively reinforcing. I highly recommend giving it a look.
