Cast almost entirely with newcomers, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love brings Randy's family (a lesbian aunt and an assortment of current and past partners), Evie's well-heeled and overprotective mother (Stephanie Barry), and a collection of friends, enemies, one ex-boyfriend (Andrew Wright), and one unsatisfactory affair (Maggie Moore) into the mix, balancing the excitement and passion of adolescent romance with the pitfalls of social and familial rejection. Maintains a light and quirky tone throughout, reminiscent in many ways of the teen comedies of John Hughes. ~ Genevieve Williams, Rovi

Less incredible than interminable.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Warm-hearted, funny, and involving.

Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
Only holds the interest above a sea of other bland teen romantic comedies for the girl-girl titillation factor - and only just barely

James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
about twice as cutesy as it needs to be
