Feature

Four high school girls fight back when a mysterious teenager enters their lives. Maddy (Hedy Burress) is the photographer, Rita (Jenny Lewis) is the awkward one, Violet (Sarah Rosenberg) is the slut, and Goldie (Jenny Shimizu) is the druggie. They're sexually harrassed by the coach and shunned by the other students.

Then Legs (Angelina Jolie) walks into their lives. A runaway and drifter, she encourages the girls to fight back. Of course, that leads to a one week suspension for the girls, who decide to join Legs at an abandoned house and start some sort of commune. Things go from bad to worse when the football players want revenge for what they did to the coach. And then the law steps in and the movie sort of ends.
Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but "Foxfire" is kind of a boring movie. I think it's a coming of age movie but there wasn't much drama to it. It sort of moves from scene to scene and even the nudity is boring. Part of the problem is that I couldn't quite empathize and root for the protagonists.

Actors

Yeah, I think only rented this to see Angelina Jolie. Once again she's the bad girl and once again is fairly good at it. Hedy Burress I remember from "Boston Common".

DVD

There is a theatrical trailer and Jolie's bio (but no one else's).

Recommendations

I cannot recommend this film, for any reason.
