Do Revenge

We loved this. Like Clueless meets Cruel Intentions with some 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That rolled in. They get backstabbing sabotaging teenaged girl relationships very right. All the crazy outfits were so much fun. The soundtrack was full of a great mix of modern music and 90's music. I loved that they included Sarah Michelle Gellar as the headmaster. Sophie Turner has a fun small part. I wasn't familiar with the younger actors, but I thought they all did a great job, no duds in this cast. I would definitely watch this again and I'd recommend it as a good time to anyone who has 90's teen nostalgia!

So I wasn't expecting to watch this but apparently it was a really good Gen Z movie so I was curious. There were scenes that weren't meant to be funny that I laughed at a lot. Also, not a groundbreaking concept discovery but different generations really aren't so different, just use different language and gadgets because about an hour in it stops being a Gen z movie and just a gaudy high school movie. At some point thought the movie was over but there was still a chunk of time left and it only got better with the twists, the last one not so much but it needed a happy ended. This may not start out as a movie for everyone but it is way better than I expected. It's a pretty good watch especially if you're expecting it not to be, reminds me of late 90's early 2000's teen movies.

So, I'm old enough to have watched Clueless when it came out. And it's precedent, The Heathers. The GOAT. And then, SMG?!!! The CI reference isn't lost me, but you gotta be a certain age to get it. It was also a classic. And I mostly picked this movie late tonight knowing I could make it stop with the flick of my remote if it sucked. But this was surprisingly fun. It was smartly done. And PLOT TWIST! That elevated it. Poignant. VERY poignant. And even as I write this yet ANOTHER plot twist! And I authentically laughed out loud more than twice. And the soundtrack was fun + I was a Peace Corps volunteer so loved the shout out. And when I googled a little on the movie I learned some interesting history. So for once, I didn't ruin my own Saturday night by picking a crappy movie yet again. Yay me.

Double crossing, double dealing, all the way, with treachery and betrayal the mainstay, you'll be swindled and hoodwinked, no time to ponder, or to think, the tables turning, bridges burning, with a large kink.

The desperate and despicable depths the ladies of Rosehill Country Day High School go to in their quest for one-upmanship, presented in a far from inelegant way that captures your attention and leaves you transfixed at their propensity to cheat, trick, deceive and mislead - in the most spectacular of ways and with very little concern for the consequences. I only wish things had been this exciting when I was at school.

This was a nice movie. I really loved the performance by both the leading actors. This is the first movie that i am watching staring maya hawke, and God she looks so much like her mother uma thurman. The movie really touches on some social issues in schools and of life in general, but saying that would be a spoiler. Amazing camera work and production design. The movie gives a 80s retro vibe, I liked it very much. The writing was nice, especially the plot twists were revealled very smothly and also impacts us to an extent. The music was nice, gave the movie a youthful vibe and was also fun to listen.

The issue I had with the movie is the climax. Felt a bit rushed. The issues got solved pretty quick. They could have improved the writing in the climax.
