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.

    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.

    an early film for angelina jolie and peter facinelli. jolie showed glimpses of her future greatness, which was the only reason this film doesnt drop to a half a star. this movie was absolutely terrible. there was nothing redeeming about it at all. it would have made a better ... read moreslasher flick. some zombie should have shown up and killed some of the silly girls in this, then it might have been a 1 1/2 star movie.

    This film had solidifyiedthat she could act, and Indeed had what it takes to become a great actress. The acting of the five leading woman was superb, and "Haywood-Carter's: Direction was sensational.
    It made you belive "Jolie" would become the greatest and most versital actress... read more of the modern times.
    Midly Reccomended.

    Very dated and shallow. However, I liked the themes of girl power and rebellion. It was kind of interesting to watch. The 90's guitar solo music was annoying, but some of the other songs were good. The plot was very improbable, but unpredictable nonetheless. This movie first show... read mores off Angelina's tough-girl charisma. Some of the movie with the teenage girl giggling and squealing was quite irritating and at parts it got so dramatic. Taking their shirts off in the one scene seemed weird and random. I think it got worse as the movie progressed.

    Jolie owns this movie from the start of her badass entrance. I think it was quite charming and def enjoyed it.
