So I am always willing to watch almost anything. These days though there is so much content out there it's hard to make a choice. This, however was recommended to me and I really had a blast checking it out. If my friend had not mentioned it I probably never would come across it, but glad I did. Funny, quirky, a nice change of pace. The story was actually believable while being absurd, in a good way, at the same time. Really liked the cast in this movie. Also, these days there are a lot of super hero movies out there. Which I do like. But I also like things that don't involve guys with capes and super powers. I also felt like the production value was really high. It is an Independent film, but didn't have a totally independent feel. I would recommend to others and I will. Bravo! Fun Movie!

Very, very dark comedy. If you like badass babes who get revenge while being funny and looking fab, this is the film for you!

It deals with some very serious and real issues to be sure, but there's also a lighter story of revenge here than can you have laughing at times. The main character is raped, which obviously devastates her. Luckily she has a couple concerned friends that are immediately there for her and they hatch a plan to get back at the guy that did it. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned. It's pretty refreshing to see a film being led by some nuanced female characters and watching the movie made you feel like you were on this crazy adventure with them. Definitely worth checking out!

I'll tell you what I have told everyone else about this movie: This movie wasn't meant for everyone. It was meant to be polarizing. The movie depicts its characters in shades of gray...much like life. The women aren't only victims and the men aren't solely villains. The characters evolve and change until they're all victims and villains in their own way. They fit into both boxes because most people do. What you have to remember when watching this movie is that 65% of it... is true. It was inspired by a real life rape that spawned a revenge plot that quickly turned into a movie because let's be real, most people aren't John Wick. (The filming of which spawned a real life love story) The film is not realistic or plausible because it is not meant to be. It's meant to be a fantastical and cheeky. It turned a negative experience for one person into a positive experience for many while pointing out deficiencies in the current status quo. Darcy isn't the "perfect" victim because most women aren't. She just trusted the wrong person and I think every woman can relate to that on some level. Nora is the lovable slacker who hides behind a facade of not caring because that's easier than admitting she is hurt. Olivia is the friend who always pushes for better for her friends even when they dislike her for it. As a woman, society teaches us that we're competition for jobs, men and general attention. We're taught to push each other out of the way because there aren't enough slots for all of us instead of fighting for there to be more room for each of us. These women advocate for each other. They fight for the best for each other. It feels out of the norm because it IS out of the norm. They aren't just friends, they're de facto sisters to each other. We should seek to boost each other up, not tear each other down. I want these women to be my friends and I am lucky enough that they are.

Terrific comedic timing, especially Brigitte Graham and Shelby Kocee. Great sound track moves it along. The film balances between drama and comedy well…difficult to do! Nice transformation from girls looking for themselves and love to black widows….cool! Enjoyed the clever concept of how to deal with rape directly. And the gradual evolution they each experience is understandable, given their difficult relationships with the men in their lives. A comedy, yes, but firmly rooted in reality. Nice too how no one's perfect in this story. Not a man bashing tale at all. The women have their own flaws (Nora gets fired over donuts, Olivia endures abuse silently and Darcy sleeps with men too quickly in her desperation to find love). The men aren't quite as fleshed out but are realistically acted by three (oops, four with the cop) terrific actors. Everyone feels real and the outrageous situations they find themselves in are crazy but rooted in reality. Good job!

My favorite genre is black/dark comedy Whomever was deranged enough to give this 10 stars should be sushi punched. Bad acting, the sets all look like soulless bad porno sets. The women seem vapid and no there is not good enough motive for their murders. They come off as totally sociopaths and the feeble attempts for dark humor fall flat. I have 15 minutes left of this dreck and think I will just finish this review and then shut it off. Too many great movies then to waste it on a horrid flick that is nothing but one man hating moment after another. Unless you're below 18, you really don't need to have parasite friends who you depend on for all advice and support. I think its solely an American female type of deal. Women in other countries are more mature (whatever their social standing may be) and depend on family and life interest then hanging around with other women and constantly being on the make. Terrible movie and only basic common females could enjoy it.

I loved this film...it took me back to the 60's and the dark comedies like Putney Swope and early Peter Sellers movies...I love the dark yet subtle laughs of those films...and if you didn't get it...well we were not going to the movies again! The fact that the ladies were falling in "murder" all the time just cracked me up.I was blown away by the actress who played "Nora" Bridget Graham..this is a star on the rise.It is hard to be beautiful AND funny..she stole the show.I really got a kick out of way the gals were stumbling though this nightmare...rather Marx Brothers-ish.Kick back and get ready for some giggles...The second time for me was better because I knew the punchline,as it were...and it was fun to go back in time (my 20's) and imagine a few times I wish these were my girlfriends

The beginning of this movie creeped me out from the intro. I hate spiders, so I was quite reluctant to let the reel roll on. However, I had to find out what these ladies were up to. I discovered that the 3 close friends were just trying to live with the men they thought, loved them. Halfway in and I could sense the need they had to kill and eat their mate, as the title so creatively describes. These girls had quite the sense of humor throughout the entire film and Nora was hilarious when she had to talk to a cop. Great acting by the guys for their creepy dickhead antics and they really got what the deserved. The music was spot on and the timing of each soundtrack was pretty creative. I would see it again. Not too sure how I'll sleep tonight, maybe on the couch with a flashlight or gun in my hand. "jus tiddin" Great job.

This flick is a fast paced, fun ride that gets better each time you watch it. Lots of little nuances and great little bits of humor sprinkled throughout. The story walks the line between a thriller and buddy comes. It has some serious subject matter, like the violating online date Darcy goes on, and that contagious humor that comes from partaking in crazy antics with your closest friends, like the 3 main girls plotting hilarious revenge on Darcy's violator. The movie really hits it's groove when the revenge plan goes wrong in every which way and the girls will have you laughing and gasping at what they do. Black Widows is a witty, funny,silly, and sexy way to show how cool chicks get through life's hard-balls with good friends and a sense of humor. Worth watching!
