I'd heard of it, of course. I'd heard it was a ridiculous piece of exploitative cinema, schoolgirls as secret agents in cute little skirts - and it was - but what I didn't realize was that it was also a lesbian fantasy action rom-com that works equally well as a satire or a terrific example of the very genre it's trying to satirize, or rather all of them at once. Because it bounces back and forth between serious and absurd, you don't know whether to take it seriously or not, and in the end it doesn't matter; it was highly entertaining for its entire 91 minutes.
Yes, that's right, "lesbian" was first in the list of adjectives because that's what it was first and foremost, and unashamedly so. But calm down already, it's only PG-13, and written and directed by a woman, so maybe not really "exploitative" but then who in the hell is the target audience here? I don't know... me, I guess. I laughed my ass off the whole time. A tight, very well-written flick.
Five plaid skirts out of five. Would watch again.
