Film Review - Support the Girls

SUPPORT THE GIRLS 1

At first glance, “Support the Girls” seems like another restaurant comedy, picking up where movies like “Office Space” and “Waiting” left off, using the already iffy atmosphere of an objectification-centric establishment to inspire daily drudgery for the employees. Writer/director Andrew Bujalski doesn’t take the idea in an expected direction, which is a positive development for the feature. But he really doesn’t take the material anywhere, encouraging a meandering vibe to the effort to best dissect a particularly rough day for a managerial character. “Support the Girls” is hampered by habitual slackness, showing no interest in sharpening attention to a plot, but there are performances here worth paying attention to, rising above casual atmosphere to identify real frustration and confusion while trapped in the middle of professional duty.
