Amy Poehler’s feminist teen movie: it’s awkward – Sydney Morning Herald
Well-intentioned and sometimes endearing, this adaptation of a young-adult novel about a latter-day “riot grrl” lacks a certain zing.
This is a place that badly needs shaking up: where obnoxious jocks are treated as heroes, girls are rated on criteria such as most bangable, and teachers are no help at all, with the straitlaced principal (Marcia Gay Harden) actively hostile to complaint.
Even Vivian, as a self-identified introvert, remains unable to challenge the status quo except on paper until the zine inspires some of her classmates to form a club that morphs into a schoolwide protest movement.
Its a promising concept, somewhere…
