      Steve D Not clever enough to escape its weird tone or shallow characters. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member If you've never been a teen girl or if you find it impossible to empathize with the experience of a teenage girl then you definitely won't like this movie. Pretty much if you don't like teen films you won't like this movie. It's cute and fun. It's about a group of girls in an all girls school coming into their own, faced with a challenge, who band together to stop what they believe would be a disaster and the end of their all-girl education. The characters are fun and it's set in the 60s so if nothing else, you can appreciate the costume choices. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was fun and funny. It had a message about feminism that is still very relevant. It is also fun to see early performances from some of my favorite actors. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is hilarious but the one thing that bothers me is I understand the girls' intention but holy shit they get evil! Tthey poisoned the boys twice in this! I especially enjoy Merritt Weever as Momo she is great Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Camaraderies, mayhem, raucousness - It's all you ever come to love about 90s teen comedies, this one set in the 60s. Highly entertaining and featured some now-famous faces on their early days. Never imagined I would find Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men's Pete) charming and handsome to boot. Fans of Clueless and Mallory Towers books will dig this :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
