Dahlia's right: Female fun in the movies is a dangerous thing. There's a 1994 movie by that title,
Fun, in which two teenage girls meet, form an instant, high-spirited and giggly bond, and then decide to murder an old woman together just for kicks. The obsessive bond between two wildly imaginative girls in
Heavenly Creatures ends in a similarly gruesome joint undertaking. For all the diverting comedies about guy high jinks (guyjinks?), it's tough to come up with female equivalents in which somebody doesn't end up pregnant or dead. Thelma and Louise have a blast together, but then they have to crash their car into the Grand Canyon. (
Thelma and Louise II: Two mangled bodies in a ditch.) There are some brilliant movies about female friendship—
Heavenly Creatures is one, this year's Cannes winner,
4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 4 Days, is another—but they tend to focus on women helping each other through crises rather than goofing off together as a creative act. I'm racking my brain to think of exceptions; will post if I think of any.
