  Oh my goodness this was really, really, really good. I had no idea that this was a true story until the end. I just got done watching this and I am still reeling from it. It is just as good as Boy's Don't Cry. There is a great bonus feature on the DVD that explains the whole case with the real people that the movie was about. Well done movie that honors this poor soldier.

  A real gem of a made for TV movie. This deserved a cinematic release in my opinion. It's better than the majority of films that get released. Soldier's Girl tells of a beautiful true love story and it's shocking conclusion. There's a dreaded sense of knowing throughout this film. The tension doesn't so much build up, but is strongly hinted at. You just know when the young, impressionable and very angry soldier joins, that something bad is going to happen. The performances are incredible. Pace was literally unrecognisable. I say this as a fan of Pushing Daisies, and even I had to look up who the actor was. He captures the feminism of his character perfectly and makes it very understandable for a straight man to fall for him. Hatosy also gives an excellent turn, one of great hate but also empathy. It's a tragic and very brutal film with a sickening finale. Not in it's gratuity, but just because of the nature of it all. A film that says, perhaps sex should be taken out of the equation when it comes to love.

  I guess it's Lee Pace week for me. (He never disapoints) This (Showtime) movie is impressive on many levels. It touches on everything from the ridiculousness of some of the militaries policies (both on homosexuals serving and recruiting practices in general), sexual represion, and the beauty of true love. The two main actors (Troy Garity & Lee Pace) do a truly amazing job at conveying the deep complexities of both of their (very different, but perfectly matched) characters. Even though there are a few very poorly written (after school special) moments of dialog and some of the charaters are a little too over the top/sterotypical for their own good...the cast as a whole is strong enough to carry you past these minor irritations. And the message isn't too badly cheapened by it. All things concidered it was a pretty powerful movie. And the fact that it is based on actual events...makes it a very timely and important film.

  Fantastic film. Very well done and worth a viewing.

  In "Soldier's Girl," Fisher(Shawn Hatosy) takes his fellow soldiers to Visions, a nightclub in Nashville where you need a scorecard to tell the men from the women, to taunt the performers.(Well, that's what he says but later he ends up making out with one of the singers...) Mostly, he takes aim at Calpernia(Lee Pace), wondering aloud if her breasts are real. Since she is a pre-op transsexual, the answer might be a little complicated. What is rather simple is her attraction to Barry(Troy Garity), Fisher's roommate, who she invites backstage and gives his her phone number. The first person seen in "A Soldier's Girl" is a man dressed up as Queen Elizabeth I who was monarch when William Shakespeare's tragedies were first performed with men acting as women. Based on a true story, this is a very touching, heartfelt, well-acted and even occasionally erotic movie about how gender and sexual orientation are fluid, but this is not New York or San Francisco. It is the heartland of America where acceptance is surprisngly the order of the day. Not so with the military with its very macho attitude and the asinine Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy which should be repealed as soon as possible. See, there are times when compromise can backfire.

  I saw this movie for Lee Pace and he was great but Troy Garity as the soldier was excellent. I'm glad that Showtime made a movie out of this because I'd never heard this story before. Definitely not your average TV movie fare.

  Beautiful movie! I've first seen this with my sisters, one had an interest in this movie so I watched it then. The story is very sweet and touching, but yet the outcome is truly heartwrenching. It's so sad! Love the music, and KD LANG is phenomenal. Love her voice.
