Review of Pretty Persuasion (2005) by Christopher L — 08 Apr 2006
Starring: Evan Rachel Wood, Ron Livingston, James Woods, Jane Krakowski, Elisabeth Harnois, Danny Comden, Michael Hitchcock, Adi Schnall, and Selma Blair.
Directed by Marcos Siega.
Written by Skander Halim.
Rated [b]R[/b] (for strong sexual content and graphic dialogue involving teens, and for language).
Running time approximately 1 hour 50 minutes.
Here we have a film on the level of both [i]Mean Girls[/i] and [i]Saved![/i]: a film in which the lead female characters are evil and vindictive. [i]Pretty Persuasion[/i], even while allowed an R-rating, cannot compare to the comic genius of [i]Mean Girls[/i] or [i]Saved![/i]. I can't believe I originally awarded this with an 8/10. Ew. [b]*1/2 (out of ****) C-[/b].
