The Girlfriend, which is Meet the Parents by way of Death Becomes Her and Parasite, is a silly thriller about two women fighting to the death over one man. Cherry, an ambitious working-class real-estate agent, is the girlfriend, while Laura, a wealthy art curator, is the overly possessive mother. Their rivalry is amusing at first--a swirl of misunderstanding, bad impressions, and prejudice has them at each other’s throats the instant they meet. But it very quickly escalates into something sinister and dangerous. Still, it never takes itself too seriously and pretends to be anything other than a highly entertaining soap drama, making it all the more entertaining to watch.
