Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

savanah_17 This is a great movie. one of the best of Angelina Jolie. I love her. She does an excellent job of portraying the bad girl, and even better of making the movie what it is. She helps to push it to its full potential. Angelina has amazing talent. This movie is recommended for any girl who has never been the wild child. any girl who has never had the guts to do anything too drastic. excellent movie. I like Maddy. She is unique in that she is not your average teenage girl, but she is not drastic like legs. And who has a name like legs. It's like, once these girls have stood up for themselves, they can never go back. Like they are changed some how. I love this move and give it a excellent rating.

mybluehooloovoo Firstly to correct an earlier reviewer this film is not based on a novel from the fifties, it's (very) loosely based on a Joyce Carol Oates novel that is set in the fifties but was first published in the nineties.The film isn't perfect, but no film is. The plot surrounds a group of teenage girls who are brought together by the arrival of a rebellious stranger named Legs. Like other girl gang films before it, such as Foxes (1980), the film employs certain character types regularly seen in movies of this sort, although this can hardly be considered an attempt to copy other movies. The film belongs to a specific sub-genre and as such it employs the conventions of that sub-genre.While some may simply pass this film off as clichéd others will look a little deeper and appreciate the film for what it is. Foxfire puts across a message rarely seen in American cinema - one that emphasizes the importance of teenage girls forming close friendships in order to assist their development into well-adjusted adults. And while the film may employ certain clichés in order to get that message across (such as the somewhat one-dimensional secondary characters) the message itself is not a cliché and is an important one for girls of all ages.

Dayna but do read the book. especially if you did not like this movie.this movie was dumb, but angelina jolie and hedy burgess make it okay to not be too ashamed by the fact that you like it.it is much like 'center stage' in that regard.but in every other respect, it is much like someone tried to adapt a novel about girl gangs in the 50s into a movie about giggly juvenile delinquents in the 90s. it doesn't work, but like i said no one is watching it for the incredible story or acting chops.we're watching it to see if maddy will ever grow some metaphorical balls and kiss legs already!

galadriel-13 Four teenage girls are joined by Legs (played by Jolie). Experiencing various teenage anxieties and failed communication with parents, they form a strong emotional bond which is augmented by events in which they take part together and into which they are drawn. Supporting each other, they play the role of both friend and family to each other.The plot deals with the isolation of late teenage from mainstream society and one's parents' generation, and the communication divide which neither parents nor children seem to be able to bridge easily during these years. Another theme is what too much pain and abandonment in the early years can do to you, and how good people can clash with a society trying to do the right thing, but getting it wrong.
