The movie 'On the Outs' is based on the real stories of the life of three girls from the streets of Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The film follows the lives of three girls from the rough neighborhood of Jersey City. 15 year old Suzette (Anny Mariano) a sweet, innocent girl lives with her mother who works hard to support her family. Suzette is influenced by the sweet talk of a smooth talking hustler which resulted her to get pregnant. When her mother insisted on getting an abortion, Suzette ran away from home to live with her lover. 

Oz (Judy Marte) is a teenage drug dealer, the daughter of a crack addict who was born as a crack baby. Even though she is smart enough to handle every day problems, she always gets into trouble and couldn't stay out of jail.

The story of Marisol (Paola Mendoza) is different from these two girls. She is a crack addict and a single mom with a two year old daughter. This teen mother made a lot of wrong decisions and her daughter is taken into the state's custody. When she was hit by a car, her whole world collapsed with it. 

The directors skillfully deals with the perilous, tragic life stories of these inner city girls. The roles of the main characters are played by very talented actresses. The supporting cast is also good. Even though it is a low budget film, it successfully portrays the pathetic situation in the inner cities. The directors emphasize the fact that these girls come to realize that the choices are theirs to make, whatever the situations may be. 

Judy Marte as Oz presents a brilliant performance. Anny Mariano as Suzette portrays her role with grace and charm. Her role as an innocent teenage girl in love is touching. Above all, Paola Mendoza as Marisol is well played. The film has many touching moments. The audience will be touched and torn by the plight of these poor young girls struggling with their lives. 

We rate this movie GOOD.
