Wise girls: DVD


Following a tragic accident, Meg Kennedy (Mira Sorvino) moves from Missouri to Staten Island in New York City, taking up residence in her Grandmother's home and landing herself a job as a waitress in a popular Italian restaurant owned by a mob family. Life starts to look up for Meg as she begins raking in some big money and making close friends with the other waitresses Raychel (Mariah Carey) and Kate (Melora Walters). One evening an incident in the restaurant sees her save a young man's life, and it doesn't take long for her to realize that being involved with these connected people and the high paying job, may come at a hefty price.
Apart from her Academy Award-winning performance in Mighty Aphrodite, Mira Sorvino has not chosen the best vehicles for her talents over the years, and when it comes to her involvement in Wisegirls, you could easily assume that her decision-making skills are not getting any better. Sorvino is hands down the only shining light in this clichéd mob melodrama, which dribbled onto selected screens throughout the US, and thankfully was overlooked here in Australia.
Wisegirls is now available on DVD in Australia.
