And you thought you were having a bad day?

I really enjoyed this "day in the life" film portrayal about a bunch of young girls dressed in their skimpy halter tops and hot pant shorts working at an independent sports bar named "Double Whammies" but not for the sexy movie cover of the bar maids as you may think.

I thought Regina Hall's portrayal of the mother hen Sports Bar Manager Lisa was so realistic that I wanted to grab a burger and a beer just to support Regina's girls myself. Three other significant contributions were made by actresses Haley Lu Richardson the effervescent EverReady bunny waitress Maci, young mom Danyelle played by Shayna McHayle, and the recently fired waitress Krista played by AJ Michael's who had a foot long image of basketball legend Steph Curry permanently tattooed on her side ribs with an explanation being "I work in a sports bar".

Adding to the mix of realistic characters was James Le Gros who plays Cubby the bar owner who continually threatens to fire his bar manager Lisa.

No spoilers here but suffice to say the three ladies express their true feelings in the closing scene which reminds me of the hit country song "Take this job and shove it!"

Great film in the day in a life of a sports bar and the patrons who visit on this particular day.

I give the film a more than pleasurable 7 out of 10 rating.
