4/10Disappointing
Over-the-top attempt at cutting satire. Wants to compete with Heathers or possibly Cruel Intentions for outlandish behavior by rich teenage girls who are out to cause mischief in othersÂ’ lives. However, the script is happy to take lame swipes at such diverse topics as racism, pedophilia and teenage sexuality without ever crossing the line into scathing social commentary.
Evan Rachel Wood stands out despite the story as a cold and calculated 15-year-old who accuses her teacher of inappropriate advances.

8/10Great
If you're as far away from high school (about 45 years) and from Beverly Hills (around 9,000 miles) as I am, the bare plot of "Pretty Persuasion" may not seem appealing at first glance. But don't pass it up -- it's a very funny, and very dead-on, satire of people today and of our media-obsessed society. Its targets go beyond the high-schoolers who are its main protagonists. Don't miss out on an entertaining and quick-moving film.
