If there's one thing this close group of friends at an all-girls high school has learned, it's how to get what they want! So when word leaks that their school is about to merge with an all-boys academy, some of the students take matters into their own hands and strike back.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
A smart, sweet, and altogether smashing evocation of teenage girlhood.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Lively acting and good-natured feminism lift this lightweight comedy a notch above the norm.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
You have to sit through 90 minutes that feel like three hours.
Under the candy coating and girl group soundtrack, the film acknowledges some hard truths about women and education that haven't changed much since the '60s. But it never loses sight of having a good time, and the girls are great.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
A knock-kneed but likable just-for-girls drama set in 1963 that promotes single-sex institutions as the best breeding ground for future female senators and filmmakers.
