Lover Girl: Directed by Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse. With Tara Subkoff, Sandra Bernhard, Kristy Swanson, Loretta Devine. Jake is a 16-year-old girl whose mother left her. She finds her older sister Darlene in L.A., but Darlene turns her away. Darlene’s neighbor Marci takes pity on Jake, allowing her to stay over. When Jake discovers that Marci is a manager in a massage parlor, she convinces Marci to hire her.

“Fresh talent Tara Subkoff, who was excellent in the little seen teen angst drama u0026quot;All Over Me,u0026quot; stars as Jake, a teen girl whose sister (Kristy Swanson) refuses to let her stay with her. So Jake meets Sandra Bernhard, a masseuse/whore who takes her under her wing. Jake then becomes interested in the job, so she also joins, against Bernhardu0026#39;s will. The plot makes this seem like a dark, gritty drama, sort of like the massage parlor u0026quot;Whore,u0026quot; but u0026quot;Lover Girlu0026quot; is really light and quirky, and not very funny or dramatic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBesides to see Subkoff, there is no reason to check out u0026quot;Lover Girlu0026quot;. 2 STaRs OuT oF FoUR.”
