Three 17-year-old girlfriends get a job at the Toy Depot for the holiday season and become smitten with the guys who work alongside them in this charming teen sex comedy.

Slut in a Good way has a throwback John Hughes feel to it from the humor to the themes, tot the use of specific music choices. It examines the tumultuous nature of female relationships and how they can turn on a dime. The film features three archetypes, The Virgin, The Rebel Activist, and The Newly Sexually Independent Girl. Double standards and slut-shaming are rampant, but that’s what makes the script whip-smart and funny.

About Liz Whittemore

Liz grew up in northern Connecticut and was memorizing movie dialogue from Shirley Temple to A Nightmare on Elm Street at a very early age. She will watch just about any film all the way through (no matter how bad) just to prove a point. A loyal New Englander, a lover of Hollywood, and true inhabitant of The Big Apple.
