A MOVIE ALL GIRLS SHOULD WATCH WITH THEIR BEST FRIENDS.
The in-crowd at Miss Godard's,a highbrow New England girls boarding school,has waged an all-out war against the administration,which wants to merge with St.Ambrose, a nearby boys prep school.Although the St.Ambrose boys are the very same boys these young women want to be at social events,and event on occasion,lust after,they do not want them in the same classroom.Odette (Gaby Hoffmann),the clique's brainy ringleader ,takes Verena (Kirsten dunst),tinka (Monica keena) and tweety (Heather matarazzo)and Merrit weaver along on a bumpy-but often hilarious-road of misadventures as they attempt to keep their school boy-free while constantly fighting with Abby (Rachael leigh cook),Miss Godard's tattletale moniter.What it lacks in suspense (you know what's gonna happen the first 15 minutes)STRIKE!makes up for its CHARM!

Quotes

Odette: They're just boys Verena, not communists.
Verena Von Stefan: I'm not going to live in the shadow of the hairy bird.
Tinka Parker: Well that's your problem, you're afraid of boys.
Verena Von Stefan: You'd be afraid too except that you have nothing left to lose Ms Tinka.
Tinka Parker: Prude.

Tweety: Truce. Quiet. Come on. ...

Goofs

The position of Tinkas "earrings" changes between shots.

Alternate Versions

The original "Strike!" version had a scene in which Tinka was vulgarly dancing with a boy and then after the dance, Verena got the boy a handkerchief; That scene was removed from the "All I wanna do" version. You can still see a bit of Verena grabbing the handkerchief in the "All I wanna do" version.
