film directed and written by Kat Slater. This film was slammed by critics, it places regularly inimdb 's bottom 100 films of all time.Plot Summary
Three rebellious teenage girls decide to even the score in the battle of the sexes. Looking back a few years after the events depicted (an odd story telling device as the events appear to take place in the present time), Jefferson Roth tells the story of the last few weeks of her senior year at a Wisconsin boarding school when she and two girl friends, the naive Lisa and the outrageous Karen, conspire to use a pistol to turn the tables on men (boys, really) after a wealthy older man, with who Karen had a one night stand, refuses to give her his home phone number. They stage a sexual assault on David, who's been hot and cold toward Lisa. Meanwhile, each of the three keeps trying to find love even while Karen wants to attack others: Jefferson falls for a cowboy singer, ignoring a boy she grew up with, Jeremy, who likes her; Lisa tries again to reach David. The film ends with a bizzare shot of a very young (
Thora Birch ) turning directly into the camera and sticking her tongue out. (Birch appears much younger here than she did in (American Beauty ) which was released before this film, which indicates that this film must have been on the shelf for quite some time before it was released).Cast
