This discovery leads them to become allies and friends. Shortly afterward, they exact revenge on their teacher at the cost of being expelled from school. Taking up residence in an abandoned house in the woods, they practice some rather sexy bonding rituals between themselves. Thanks to the efforts of their ringleader Legs to get drug rehab money for one of the girls, they find themselves on the wrong side of the law, and the chase begins. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, Variety
Joyce Carol Oates and her fans will be disappointed by this trivial and muddled screen version of her popular novel about female bonding and empowerment.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
About four female friends who take delight in exploring their capacity for anarchy.

Angelina Jolie, Dash Mihok, Hedy Burress, Peter Facinelli The story of five teenage girls who form an unlikely bond after beating up a teacher who has sexually harassed them. They build a solid friendship but their wild ways begin to get out of control. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Really liked this movie. Some of the early works of Angelina Jolie. Thought she was great in it. Loved how all the girls, even though are very different from each other, come together and kick their perverted teacher's ass. LOL.. Shows you that one event in your life can bring you to befriend some people you would normally never even have a conversation with. A "girl power" movie.

Not all that great. It was trying to be edgy and smart but was none of that. Mostly it was an excuse to have a scene where the girls take their shirts off.
