Nonureva Really Surprised!

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

capone666 Strike!Teenagers aren't allowed to vote in federal elections because they always select: D) All of the Above Candidates.Luckily, the ladies in this comedy are more astute than their contemporaries.To keep her away from her boyfriend (Matthew Lawrence), Odie (Gaby Hoffmann) is sent to an all-girls school where she aligns herself with the less reputable students (Kirsten Dunst, Monica Keena, Heather Matarazzo, Merritt Wever).When it's announced that the school will amalgamate with the boys' academy, the girls set out to stop the merger by demanding that the board of trustees allow them to vote on the co-ed matter.Also known as All I Want To Do, this subliminal salute to the suffrage movement isn't as superficial, flippant or as badly acted as most of the Girl Power movies from the late nineties.Moreover, the only thing that girls learn at a co-ed school is where to buy Plan B.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Robert W. 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

gambilljen It's a great movie with lots of laughs. I rented this movie because of kirsten dunst, but I didn't know for sure if I would like it, but I did. Kirsten Dunst character is hilarious. The other girls are funny as well. This is a movie both girls and boys will, but I think it will appeal to girls more only because it revolves around them. If your'e a fan of the movie check it out. Parental warning- this is definitely not for younger children, it contains sexual content and oher themes that, some are funny, but not suitable for kids. I give this movie a 8/10 rated PG-13- teen sex-related material language and some substance abuse.

acearms Cute movie with lots of laughs and teen attempts to change the world. I enjoyed this one for the humor and the realistic aspects of what teenagers can and will do. Young love not to be over looked. Whether prep school, college or finishing, kids will find a way to out smart the school administration and that's what this movie is about. If you want humorous entertainment, this is the one for you.
