I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Odette (Gaby Hoffmann) is the new girl in Miss Godard's Preparatory School For Girls. Verena von Stefan (Kirsten Dunst) is the school bad girl and she quickly befriends Odette. Abby Sawyer (Rachael Leigh Cook) is the school monitor. Verena leads a group of girls called the DAR until plans to merge the school with a boy's academy turn the group upside down.This stars some of the best young actresses of the time. It's an uphill battle for sexual equality. Some of it is poignant and some of it is funny. But mostly it meanders. There are a lot of lead characters all going in different directions. It seems like the film wants Kirsten Dunst to lead, but she's just one of many.Writer/director Sarah Kernochan tries to get the right feel with the era music. But the writing isn't funny enough or sharp enough. While it's fun to see these stars at an early stage, it never really gets great. It's much more of a girls movie where the girls are smart. It's about girl power, and not just the easy sexy-girls-doing-kung-fu-fighting type of girl power.

I can promise you that there are probably thousands (if Thousands saw this) that would call this their favorite movie and giggle while they say it. Strike! (as I knew it as) or All I Wanna Do as Netflix knows it as is definitely set to impress a very specific demographic but does it even hit the nail on the head in that aspect? The film is set in the sixties and there is no doubt they are trying to capitalize on the popularity of a previous similar film in 1995 called Now And Then. But this one doesn't have flashbacks or flash forwards. Instead this is about a precocious (I think that's being too kind) group of friends getting into insane trouble while trying to keep their All-Girls School from going co-ed. The girls are barely likable, obnoxious in fact, and they certainly shouldn't be the role model for anyone that this film would be trying to sell itself to. The girls are really the group of girls you'd probably hate...and instead they're put as the 'heroes' of the story and you will have a good time with their antics but you won't fall in love with the story, the setting or the characters.One of the busiest actresses in Hollywood even in the nineties Kirsten Dunst was probably a wise choice to lead this cast. She does have a lot of personality but wow is she ever obnoxious in this. I mean I understand her character is loud and bossy but that doesn't make her fun to watch. Dunst is Dunst and if you like then she did a decent job and if you don't...well your annoyance meter will run high for this role. Another teen cult favorite Gaby Hoffmann (she was actually in the aforementioned Now And Then) plays tom-boy rebel Odette. I think she's probably the strongest actress in the film and her character is probably the most likable as well. Rachael Leigh Cook is also good in her role but her role is kept too small unfortunately because I think she could have done better as more of a main character than a supporting one. Monica Keena, Heather Matarazzo, Matthew Lawrence and Vincent Kartheiser all round out the supporting cast and I honestly think if you flipped this cast around in order of importance...giving more time to Cook, Matarazzo, Lawrence...and less time to Dunst...this might have been this films saving grace.I think that they had a good idea, and good intentions but the script really held this film back. You have to consider whether something that looks fun or sounds funny on paper translates to live action because sometimes it doesn't. Writer/Director Sarah Kernochan helms her own script and that might be a stumble on their part. Kernochan is a songwriter and maybe this is just an idea she was sitting on for awhile and decided to give it a go but either way the film definitely lacks a certain amount of expertise. The demographic that the film is made for I wouldn't let my 11-13 Year old daughter see the movie and everyone else older than that will just see it as fluff. You'll get a chuckle here and there but more groans than anything else. 6/10

Just watched this yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed but 30 minutes in the film, the plot became very familiar. SPOILER WARNING - The exclusive girls school, the club they have created, the annoying head girl, the party, the spiked punch, and the lead girl getting expelled for having sex. Have a look at the 1978 film called Boarding School starring Nastassja Kinski. Maybe it is a remake but I see no recognition of that anywhere. The boys are introduced into the film differently but it is so close that it cannot be a coincidence. If is not a new version of that film then Sarah Kernochan should be ashamed. Enjoyed it all the same and the lead girls are all good but not a patch on Kinski.

This is really great film. I loved that it was set in the sixties, but it's the kind of script that could have been set any time including present day. Anyone thinking of watching it and hasn't, you should go out and hire it.
