Dirty Girl isn't. Sorry, but it's just faux grime, a thin layer of bad behaviour that wipes clean with a two-ply tissue to reveal the real movie beneath - all shiny sentimentality.
Overview
When Danielle is banished to special education because of her misbehavior, she joins Clarke on a road trip to discover themselves.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Dirty Girl broadcasts its intent to be edgy and subversive - poking fun throughout at small-town, conservative attitudes toward sex and morality - without ever achieving subversion.
The movie is all over the place, searching for an identity that proves almost entirely elusive.
If your sensibility is pure trashy camp, don't expect anyone not to laugh when you try to be earnest.
One can appreciate an artistic effort without actually endorsing it, which may be the most generous approach to Abe Sylvia's frustratingly uneven debut.
