Guide Review - Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love
Randy Dean's life is a mess. The tom-boy, baby butch is flunking out of school, her married lover's husband is out to get her and her home life is chaotic. All she wants is a normal relationship with a girl her own age.
Evie Roy, on the other hand seems to have everything. She's smart, pretty, popular and rich. The day Evie drives her Range Rover into the gas station where Randy works sets in motion a romance that no one could have predicted.
Evie introduces Randy to poetry and Randy teaches Evie a thing or two about love. All hell breaks loose when Evie's mom walks in on the two lovers just as Randy's aunt discovers she is failing school.
In an ending that only Hollywood could concoct, all of Evie and Randy's friends and family descend upon them at the same moment for a hilarious, if unrealistic ending.
