Funny, warm and insightful, Support the Girls centers mainly around Lisa (a fantastic Hall), the eatery’s general manager who deals with a dozen different crises a day and acts as den mother to the young and sometimes impulsive women who work for her, while also dealing with the place’s increasingly surly owner (James Le Gros), the customers themselves and her own personal struggles. Yes, it handles all that in a fleet and humorous 90 minutes. Den of Geek spoke with Hall, Richardson and McHayle — the latter two play veteran Double Whammies employees — about making the movie, learning more about the business and what the film says about the issues it tackles. Support the Girls is out in theaters today (Friday, Aug. 24) and begins on demand Aug. 28.
