Jackie's social anxiety disorder is still not under control and she's incapable of having a mature relationship with a man; Lucy's overweight, still lives with her mother and hasn't finished either of the university degrees she started. When they are labelled co-dependent, weird and socially inept, the girls decide it's time to grow up and prove to themselves (as well as the world) they are normal adults. Jackie sets out to snag a boyfriend & Lucy goes after the job of her dreams... but will their newfound maturity drive an irreversible wedge between the pair?

Critic Reviews

Alissa Simon, Variety
Colorfully stylized, sweet and silly, yet encompassing some serious issues, frisky low-budget laffer "Jucy," from Australian helmer Louise Alston, transforms the chick pic into womance.
Don Groves, sbs.com.au
Aussie womantic comedy tackles serious issues with style and humour.
Erin Free, FILMINK (Australia)
The natural chemistry of the leads and frankly funny dialogue make for a delightful local gem.
Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
From the opening credits with Lucy and Jackie dancing in sync to a bright French pop song, the film is carried along by a tone of grounded good humour and has something to say
Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
There's vibrancy about the two lead performances - both girls are exceptionally good, and we genuinely care about their characters. The film is short and sweet with a good heart
Anton Bitel, Eye for Film
Jucy may at times take on the ramshackle amateurishness of the play in which Jackie and Lucy appear - but it more than makes up for this with an enthusiasm and vibrancy that ensures its judiciously brief duration breezes by
