The film presents a mix of light-hearted comedy and serious themes, exploring the impacts of deception among close friends. While the premise is intriguing, the execution falters at times, leading to mixed reactions from both audiences and critics. It garners praise for its exploration of adult friendships but criticism for its handling of sensitive topics. Overall, ‘Sick Girl’ offers a unique story with decent performances that might not cater to all tastes.
