Review of Strike! (1998) by Marie P — 18 Jul 2007

If you like Kirsten then you will absolutely love this film. The entire movie is filled with perfectly beautiful real teenaged girls. It is set in an all girl's school, and all of the main characters manage to look cute from the first frame until the last. Kirsten got first billing in this film, but Gaby Hoffman had a bit more screen time. Kirsten's character reminded me a lot of her portrayal of "Amy Marsh" in Little Women, more innocent and intelligent like Samantha, and nothing like the sex kitten in Crazy / Beautiful.

The other stand-out role was Rachael Leigh Cook in the part of "Abby", a wonderfully tense girl who had no friends due to the fact that she was some sort of student police (or something like that).

I simply cannot recommend this movie enough, provided you enjoy watching teenage girls. If you are looking for a plot that isn't remniscent of a Sweet Valley High novel, then look elsewhere. But if you just want to watch a bunch of adorable 16 year old girls, then look right here. I give this film a perfect 10 out of 10 Kirstens.
