This is one of the best movies I've ever seen! It is so true in its depiction of young women today. The actresses and the dialogue perfectly capture the issues and limitations facing many young women. Bravo!!!

I saw this movie in the theaters when it first came out. I'm a huge fan of Lilly Taylor who gives a great performance, along with the other actresses. This has to be the most realistic portrayal of date rape during adolescence I have ever seen. Unlike a lot of movies that sensationalize rape to the point of bordering on soft porn, this movie skips the graphic details and gets straight to the business of empowering its female characters. Warning: this movie is dangerous to the dominate power structure, which is probably why you can't rent it at Blockbuster...

This is One of my Favoirte movies, next to just another girl, the players club, and eves bayou... It shows that we women are strong, and we ain't gonna take no stuff from no man... No disrespect...

I seen this movie when I was younger and was quite impressed with the story as well as the acting. The movie proves you don't need some big Hollywood budget to pull off a good picture. The directing reminds you a loy of those 3PM teen movie specials on PBS. I found the story to be more realistic in the times we live in today with young people, particularly with teen girls. The movie addresses issues on rape, teen motherhood, pressure in and out of school and self-worth. It does have a bit of a feminist tone without the characters not saying they are feminist. The storytelling is simple but believable. All girls and young ladies alike should watch this.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Lili Tayor is excellent, as are the rest of the cast. Movie was largely unscripted, and the women made a lot of the dialogue up as they went along. Really rings true to experience.

I love this movie, but the fact of the matter is that I couldn't find it anywhere in stores. It took me forever to find it and I'm glad I did. Now I can enjoy it with friends and family. Thanks Amazon!

or do the "girls" in this movie look a bit old to be girls.
