About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, empowering teen comedy about friendship and pushing back against unfair rules, with some raunchy humor; Not for you if you need subtle, grounded drama like Fried Green Tomatoes.
Pros: girl-power teamwork; funny boarding-school antics; upbeat feel-good tone | Cons: crude jokes; thin meandering story; uneven character depth
