Low on money and fresh out of hope, aspiring doctor Meg Kennedy (Mira Sorvino) is forced to return home to Staten Island, N.Y., where she finds work as a waitress at Santalino's, a boisterous Italian restaurant. Soon, Meg befriends coworkers Raychel (Mariah Carey) and Kate (Melora Walters) and begins to start a new life. But, after Meg discovers that Santalino's is a mob front, she finds herself deep in danger, and is recruited by the police to spy on her criminally connected boss.

Variety

Directed with very conventional efficiency by David Anspaugh, the drama's script keeps enough surprises up its sleeve to remain entertaining.

San Francisco Chronicle

It's a good film -- not a classic, but odd, entertaining and authentic.

Rated: 3/4

The piece plays as well as it does thanks in large measure to Anspaugh's three lead actresses.

What really surprises about Wisegirls is its low-key quality and genuine tenderness.

This is a really good movie, seriously. I've watched it many times, and still, don't get bored of it. Everything is just set in the right place. The characters are really good and in sync. Worthy.
