Some things I liked some I did not.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Strike (1998): Dir: Sarah Kemochan / Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffmann, Rachel Leigh Cook, Lynn Redgrave, Vincent Kartheiser: Combination of National Lampoon's Animal House and Rock N' Roll High School but lacking the comic wit of both. Title refers to Kirsten Dunst's refusal to change. Hopefully after being part of this film she will require a major change. An all girl school is threatened with the possibility of going co-ed. This threatens misfit Dunst who is often late for classes and sabotages anything she considers a threat. Gaby Hoffmann is the new student who believes that the school should speak out. Vulgar and somewhat sexist with Dunst stashing liquor bottles about a bus and the boys who arrive innocent end up puking on everything. Directed by Sarah Kernochan with some fine location areas. This film is also saddled with several names, which can be a bitch when locating it. Dunst and Hoffmann play opposites but neither character obtains a personality. Dreary supporting work by Rachel Leigh Cook as the standard rival who will stop at nothing to expose Dunst. Lynn Reggrave plays the headmistress who cannot think for herself. She is suppose to be in charge but too often she is taking advice from people who are seen as total morons. Everything seems recycled and terribly dull but its message at least rings true. Strong co-ed theme elevates but the crude humour poise a strike against it. Score: 3 / 10

I loved this movie! I first saw it right before my freshman year in high school. It was something that I watched many times because I thought it was hilarious, due to the fact that it reminded me so much of my High School. At my all girls boarding school it was funny to look around and see all of the characters and issues. Sure this movie is a chick flick for the younger crowd but I think anyone who ever went to a boarding school, especially an all girls school, can relate to it. Girls who see this movie want to be part of it and the girls that have a life like this love to see the movie. What do girls wanna do after all but have fun!?

There were some amusing moments, but I guess the fact that I'm not a teenage girl was a problem. There were some fairly intelligent moments, too (not exactly something I expected) but it's no cinematic masterwork. (I suppose that's a given) It is nice to see that teen movies are getting at least a little bit racier. I can't wait for the day (or night, rather) that I watch this at a midnite art house screening on a double bill with something like Salo: 120 Days of Sodom. Now THAT would be something to talk about...

I love this movie. I have seen it over and over and never get tired of it! I love the club they made: The D.A.R (Daughters of the American Ravioli) I just wonder about the girls and the boys sometimes....sometimes they want the boys and sometimes they want nothing at all to do with them!
