This is a coming of age movie about three friends on a journey of self discovery, freedom from overbearing, intrusive and sometimes violent parents.

 2 BROKE GIRLS 

GENRE: Comedy 

STARRING: Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs, Garrett Morris

The series follows the lives of friends Max Black and Caroline Channing.

This is the hilarious story of two women from different backgrounds thrown together by circumstance, strike up a friendship and together walk towards a goal of owning their own business. But their journey is not without its fair share of complications. A funny series based on innuendos and brutal one liners. Not suitable for the family.
