Pretty Persuasion(2005) Kimberly (Evan Rachel Wood), a sophomore at a posh Beverly Hills high school, is obsessed with the idea of fame and popularity. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants and has no thought for how her actions might affect others in her path. When Kimberly and two friends (Elisabeth Harnois and Adi Schnall) decide to file a sexual harassment suit against a teacher, the three girls find themselves taken for the ride of their lives.
Movie#27 "Pretty Persuasion" though a dark teen flick that allows Rachel Evan Wood to shine again, her other movies are so much better --- this attempts satire but is so raunchy in parts and overly sexual, that it becomes what it satirizes --- a homophobic, racist, mean-spirited film that is uncomfortable to watch. Too bad, because it reminded me of "Running with scissors" in the opening, or "Heathers.
