"If it's a man's world, God wouldn't have made me."

Give Juno Temple a weak script, and she will still make something of it. (Witness the superb final scene in Jack and Diane or her brief appearances in Small Apartments.)

But give her a decent script, and she will take you to the stars. She will make you laugh and then leave you sobbing at least three times before the credits roll. She will make you want to sex her up at one moment and in the next have you demanding that everyone get their hands of this broken child who just needs to be protected. She has a sharp tongue and a vulnerable spirit. She's infuriating, and she's wonderful.…

Abe Sylvia’s youthful road flick Dirty Girl tells the story of an unlikely pair of high school misfits—Juno Temple as an underaged, self-possessed, blonde nymphomaniac and Jeremy Dozier as a pudgy, pop music loving, closet case loner—turned totes besties in this coming-of-age comedic drama. The film is interestingly set in the ‘80s, the era of encroaching social conservatism in America and a time when late ‘60s and ‘70s free love bohemia has all but gone kaput. In a way Temple’s Danielle, the movie’s eponymous super sassy uber-libertine, acts as a symbolic middle finger salute to the backward sexual mentality and sanctimonious values of the prudish establishment. A pity that the film turns out to be an uneven affair and the…

I LOVE JUNO TEMPLE IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is 'super-duper' sassy.

Dirty Girl, was a complete surprise to me, it was funny and sad at times, and the cast was really great, a few familiar faces which stuck out to me, since I have never even heard of this film until today. Juno Temple plays Danielle, a young promiscuous girl who befriends gay, overweight Clarke (Jeremy Dozier) who run away to help find Danielle's father and for Clarke to escape his father from sending him to Military school.

The fact that these two young people bring along their school project, a bag of sugar, their baby and actually take it seriously was adorable and just a plus to the film since…

There are some things about this film that are witty and lovable and funny, but they are mostly wiped from the memory in an instant because of the barrage of distracting flaws within almost every scene.

Most of what goes right can be attributed to the talents of Juno Temple, who at the center of "Dirty Girl" always manages to make it a bearable experience, even when the construction of the movie becomes increasingly irritating. The main problem is that it's just not put together very well, meandering around with its overuse of cheesy slow motion, quick cuts, and a soundtrack that never stops blaring in the ears to let us hear the dialogue clearly.

A supporting cast of likable…

I didn't even notice at first that the film is set during 1987, but the soundtrack really gave it away with great songs throughout the whole thing. I've always been a big fan of Juno Temple and when I saw she was in this I started it right away, without even reading what the film was about. It deals with a few hotbar issues that never seem to get any easier as time passes, which is something that kind of confuses me still to this day, and the way a lot of it is handled was realistic, which helped to pull me into the story. There's still a sort of stigma when it comes to gay relations (even moreso as…

Dirty Girl was a bit of a surprise for me, as it opened my eyes up to the wonderfulness of the young Juno Temple, who I now realise is teeming with potential. Her charismatic and fluent performance is what makes this film enjoyable.

It is a conventional story told through the very thin spectacles of a gimmick that never really takes off. The basic premise focusing on Juno Temple's"dirty girl" character, "Danielle", and how her road trip/spiritual journey to find her long lost father somehow cleanses her slutty-ness and repairs her domestic relationships. The whole "dirty girl" aspect is very paper-thin which results in it's intended effect falling flat. Temple does, however, convey it well when it's attempting to work,…

Surprisingly, this is a buddy-road trip movie as we see this two outcast of sorts bond on their way to California. The first half of the duo is the titular character, Danielle, who is played incredibly by Juno Temple. Danielle is a promiscuous, young girl who does not have the most ideal parent. Her character is hard to describe as it changes from start to finish. At first, she is a fuck-society's-standards kind of gal, a "dirty girl" but in the end, she changes and loses the "dirt." The problem is that the experiences she just went through doesn't really seem to justify the change. Actually, "change" is not really the best word to describe the transition. Temple's character just…
