To me, this movie is perfection.

Let's be realistic.

Boring

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kickass girls revolting against the status quo and sexism? Hell Yeah! This film was great, a wild ride from the minute that Angelina Jolie (Legs) stepped foot into it. I watched this simply because I tend to love films from the 90's, and this has been added to this vintage list. The diversity of characters allows you to connect with at least one in the film, a healthy situation. As mentioned earlier, Angelina Jolie's character (Legs) acts as a catalyst and really speeds up the plot while twisting it too. Being the mother of the group Legs really steals the show and gains a herd whom together face difficulty along the road. I would recommend this film towards a younger audience, specifically teenagers. It's wind of freedom and rebellion would appeal to the average adolescent (along with the general age of the characters, and the setting). This film isn't an immensely deep, thought-provoking thriller, but rather acts as some cool, fresh, light-entertainment.

At first i wasn't quite sure about the movie, i had just rented it for something to do on a Saturday night and the next thing i know i was falling in love with all the characters. I guess it just hit home, i was especially jealous of Angelina Jolie's character and how fearless she was. Its one of those movie types that just stick with you and the emotion you feel at the time of viewing the film haunts you when you look back on it. The girls quickly became some of my favourite fictional heroes and i know i will always remember them. I would definitely recommend it especially if you enjoyed watching the Films 'The Dead Poets Society' or even 'Breakfast Club' or 'Stand by Me'. It is more darker then those movies but it was more real to me then anything i've seen. However there was one scene i would have to protest to the realism of it and being a girl i am fully aware on what girls do over at sleepover parties, even ones celebrating on an escape from the law and it doesn't happen. I won't go into any further details on the matter i'm sure you'll know the scene that i am talking about when you view the film. Anyways if you have issues with harsh language, sex scene types then i would avoid this film. Enjoy viewing. ;D

The only thing worthwhile in this movie is Jolie. She seems to somewhat salvage the movie, if ever this movie could be saved. However, when one has seen Hackers, one would know that it is done without much effort since she more or less plays the same role; rebelling, bad-ass, teenager. Her acting style is exactly the same with that from Hackers. The rest of the appearances and acting is quite lame. Overall this would be a movie to be watched if one has nothing better to do. I watched it at 4 in the morning (insomnia).For Men: The actual only worthwhile scene in this movie is when Jolie takes off her t-shirt.WoW!!! (J.K.)

first of all to correct two previous commentators....Rita says, after getting her tattoo, "we're like those girls who run with foxes." she says this to mock the comment made by the HS principle when he suspended them. trust me, i've seen this movie a hundred times.anyway, i came across this movie quite by accident. i was supposed to go out partying, but I fell asleep waiting for my always late friend. I woke up right after they beat up the teacher. I think what made an impression was how deep the friendship was between the girls. that time of my life wasn't the best, and I didn't have close friends like that. i saw parts of myself in some of the girls, and characteristics I wished I had possessed in the others. I own the movie, I watch it on occasion. The only part I think everything falls apart is the kidnapping of Goldie's father. that was kinda dumb. i have not yet read the book, but i have heard for years that the book is far different and better than the movie. Usually I am one that has read the book prior too, and usually find the movies disappointing. I tried reading the book after seeing the movie "Where the Heart is" and the exact opposite happened, I HATED the book. but from the reviews, I don't think this is going to happen with this one. I will be going to the library tonight.all in all, I think it was a good movie. i didn't particularly care for Jolie at first, but now that I've seen other work of hers, I have changed my mind about her in this movie. I liked the Maddie character the most, but the first time I watched i was more like Rita, the awkward virgin, while I longed to be a little more like Violet, the slut. Goldie represented what I could've become, had I not been as strong as I was and let situations and circumstances lead me to embrace drug addiction. I wish they would've gone a little deeper into some of the girls's background. all you really got to see is goldies dad slapping her around, and maddie's parents, and a couple of small glimpses into Rita's family. but the friendship and the bond with the girls is central focus, I felt for the movie, and I think that came across very well in the movie. maybe i'll have a different opinion once i read the book. we'll see.
