Johanna Morrigan (Beanie Feldstein) is a sixteen-year-old, extrovert from the outskirts of Wolverhampton with raging hormones and gigantic dreams. Even though she loves her big, boisterous family, Johanna yearns to get out and make a name for herself - which she does, reinventing herself as revered and feared music critic, Dolly Wilde. As she slaughters her way to greater and greater success, the lines between Johanna Morrigan and Dolly Wilde begin to haze. She has finally figured out how to build a girl - but is this the girl she wanted to build? Based on Caitlin Moran's book of the same name, How to Build a Girl is an irreverent coming of age comedy about what it's really like to be a girl. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

Tough luck, I’m back to my old cynical self after only a short break, so Johanna took a hard hit. If I were an insecure teenager, I would probably have had a great time watching this and perhaps even had a few laughs, but ... First of all, I didn’t find the protagonist very likeable to begin with. As the story progressed, she became absolutely insufferable, and I was secretly hoping for some sort of a tragic ending. No, the whole thing just didn't work for me. Among other things, I don't trust people who talk to pictures and photos. Those whose pictures and photos reply to them, I avoid like the plague. I originally considered giving one star, but since I was forced to use the FFW button several times, I have to be tough.
