It is definitely a movie that touched my heart and made me moved to LOTS of tears!I've recommended this movie to some friends, expecting them to feel the same way that I felt. It's so good to see somebody playing your life in a movie.This is a movie based on a private girls' boarding school and also a true story happened on the director herself years ago, in her teenage life.In the movie, those girls have dreams of their own. And they all achieve their goals after stepping into the grow-ups' world (they really are very successful in real world). I was touched because I saw how much they cherish each other's secret and how heartedly they help each other through the difficulties in reaching out for their dreams. I , like them, have lived in a all-girls boarding school for 6 years. The movie reminded me those times at many nights, in our beds, my friends and I listened carefully to each other's dream about future, we share our young hearts, just like the girls in the movie do.I don't know what other people would think of this movie, especially males. But after reading some critics about this movie, I know that it is time for girls to stand out. There has never been any movie like this to tell what a girl really wants and how we girls think ourselves are. Any girls who have spend their teenage time in Wesley would love this movie like I do , because during the movie I cry out several time that" it's just like what we do in school!". I think mothers would love this film because don't they always want to know what their girls are doing in school! Also teachers in school would pleased to see this movie because many things they want these girls to know but don't know in what way to teach them is the best way are shown in the movie. We will all smile and understand that what a girl's responsibility is to respect our own dream and to think that we are so important. Strike is definitely fitted to girls who want to prove the real woman in them. It shows how friendship will eventually conquer all. I really liked this because it showed the value of friendship and trust in our teenage life. I hope everyone has a great time seeing this because I did.

I LOVE THIS FILM! its a classic, i cannot belive it isn't more popular, i was bored one day when i was about 11 and ever since i've loved it, but i cannot seem to find anywhere 2 buy it??? Can anyone help me?It's great because its a completely gross film, it adresses the issue of sex adn has people who are now well established as stars! i.e Kirsten Dunst and Racheal Leigh Cook.The plot is great, an all powerful girls comedy although it has parts that appeal to males as well. For once women aren't being shown as pathetic and weedy within society!GREAT FILM!"

Im a 30 something male so I guess this film wasn´t really made for my focus group,but I liked it,intelligent script and good acting,cool with the whole feminist slant on a teen movie.Ok so the story was a bit thin and you saw the end coming.but its a feel good movie and supposed to be that way,the people that complain over such trifles are the ones whining bout the dancescenes in Singin in the rain or the logic of Where eagles dare,enjoy it for an intelligent comedy with a message for us all

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** This was a really fun movie! Kirsten Dunst was great, and completely believable in her role as a mischief-making girl in the '60s. It wasn't the funniest movie I've ever seen (not by a long shot) but there were some parts that made me laugh out loud. The actor who played "Frosty Frost", as Kirsten Dunst's character nicknames him, was cute, as was Shawn Ashmore as the photographer. I also ADORED Monica Keena! The one bad part: how Monica's character turned out to be lesbian, after being being boy-crazy the whole movie. All in all, though, this is one of my very favorite movies. Rent it sometime!
