Some Girls is a 1988 American coming-of-age film comedy drama film directed by Michael Hoffman, and starring Patrick Dempsey, Jennifer Connelly, Sheila Kelley, Lila Kedrova and Andre Gregory.




Plot


Michael goes to Quebec City, Canada, for Christmas at the request of his college girlfriend Gabriella, who left college in mid-semester. He arrives and is left waiting at the airport for hours. Gabriella (he calls her Gabi) eventually arrives to pick him up and explains that sometimes they just don't answer their phone. He brushes off his frustration because he's happy to see her.
When Michael arrives at the house and meets Gabi's family, he finds them rather eccentric. Her father is wearing only a towel, but spends much of his time nude. He eventually explains that he is writing a treatise on Blaise Pascal and cannot write while dressed. The mother is a fiercely religious and very quiet woman. A Catholic priest named Father Walter, a close friend of the family, is also present. Michael also meets Gabi's two energetic, beautiful, coquettish sisters Irenka and Simone, along with a handsome young handyman named Nick who is romantically involved with Irenka.
Although Michael enthusiastically attempts to join in the unusual habits of the family, he quickly learns that fitting in will be a challenge. The situation is complicated by the illness of Gabi's grandmother, the matriarch of the family, and the reason why Gabi left school in the first place. Michael commits the apparently unforgivable gaffe of expressing his condolences to Gabi's mother. As soon as they have time alone, Gabi announces that she no longer loves him. His attempts to change her mind seem somewhat successful, but her fickleness continues to thwart him. In the meantime, he is seductively teased first by Irenka, then by Simone, all with Gabi's apparent complicity. She appears to have a change of heart toward Michael, but then again decides that she doesn’t love him.
Gabi's grandmother, known only as "Granny," is in a care facility apparently suffering from senile dementia. Upon meeting Michael, she acts as if he is her long-dead husband, who was also named Michael. In an attempt to find her husband, she escapes from the hospital and goes to the country estate which they shared when they were first married. The girls, Nick, and Michael frantically rush to the estate, hoping Granny hasn't frozen in the cold. During their search, Michael gets lost in the woods and falls into a hole, unable to get out. He hears footsteps and finds it is Granny. She helps him out and they go back to the house, where Michael lights a fire and helps Granny out of her wet clothes. She then proceeds to talk to him as if he were her husband, and they form an unexpected bond.
Granny falls ill on the return trip, and despite Nick's valiant attempt to reach a hospital in time, she dies. After the funeral, and a tryst with Irenka, Michael makes a solitary visit to Granny's grave, where he encounters a mysterious young woman and confesses to her that he deeply loved Granny. Later he recognizes the young woman from a photograph as Granny in her youth, and realizes their meeting may have been supernatural. Michael returns home and he never sees Gabi or her family again, as she has decided not to return to college.

Plot


Some Girl(s) follows a successful writer, simply referred to as "Man," who embarks on a cross-country trip to visit a series of ex-girlfriends before his upcoming wedding.
The film opens with Man visiting Sam, his high school girlfriend, in Seattle. Sam is now married with children but is still deeply hurt by how Man abruptly ended their relationship without explanation. Their meeting is awkward, as Sam reveals that Man's sudden departure years ago left her emotionally scarred, highlighting his pattern of selfish behavior.
Next, Man travels to Chicago to see Tyler, a free-spirited woman with whom he had a passionate, yet tumultuous relationship. Tyler's playful nature contrasts with the emotional tension of their reunion. Despite her carefree demeanor, Tyler expresses lingering resentment towards Man for his lack of commitment and for abandoning her when things got serious.
In Boston, Man meets with Lindsay, a college professor and former mentor, who is married to a much older man. Their relationship had been an affair, and Lindsay is visibly upset by Man's reappearance in her life. She accuses him of manipulating her feelings and using her to boost his own ego, leaving her to deal with the fallout.
The next stop is in Boulder, where Man reconnects with Reggie, a childhood friend whom he once took advantage of during a vulnerable moment. Reggie is now an adult and confronts Man about the incident, revealing that it has haunted her for years. She accuses him of being oblivious to the impact his actions have on others, pointing out his tendency to move through life without considering the consequences of his behavior.
Finally, in Los Angeles, Man visits Bobbi, the woman he almost married. Bobbi is now married and has moved on, but the emotional wounds from their broken engagement still linger. Their conversation reveals that Man ended their relationship out of fear of commitment, a recurring theme throughout his encounters with the other women. Bobbi challenges Man to confront his fear of intimacy and his habit of running away when things get too real.
The film concludes with Man realizing that his journey was less about seeking forgiveness and more about confronting his own flaws. Despite the epiphanies he gains from each encounter, the film ends ambiguously, leaving it unclear whether he will truly change or continue his pattern of self-centered behavior.
