· 3 pulledMilly Alcock is naturally appealing in this derivative, if altogether watchable, superhero movie.
A few times early in 'Supergirl,' its heroine looks like a mess — a beautifully styled and scrupulously photographed one, true, but a wreck nevertheless.
She likes to party hard, this chick, and will slam down drinks as heedlessly as any bro on a bender before crawling into bed alone on her artfully groovy, dishabille spaceship.
