Review of Strike! (1998) by Tania M — 01 Sep 2011
In Australia this is known as "The Hairy Bird".
It's 1963, and Ondine has just been shipped out to Miss Godard's School for girls after getting caught with her boyfriend. Facing the prospect of a year-long 'prison' sentence with a bunch of uptight, brown-nosing goody-two-shoes, she falls in with the perfect group of private school-girl outcasts - trouble-making Verena, brainy Momo, boy-mad Tinka and food obsessed Tweety.
One night they overhear a heated argument between their Headmistress, and the school's board of Trustees. Miss Godard's is going coed! Could this be the answer to their dreams? At first they think so, but then they start to think about the implications....
Stars Kirsten Dunst, Rachael Leigh Cook, Lynn Redgrove, Gaby Hoffman, Monica Keena, Matthew Lawrence, Merritt Weaver, Heather Matarazzo, Vincent Kartheiser and Tom Guiry.
Directed by Sarah Kernochan.
