RavenGlamDVDCollector To end the confusion once and for all, the film was made as THE HAIRY BIRD and, yes, the title is wordplay on the male wedding tackle (hilarious really, that cute little cartoon bird that fails at its attempts to take to flight in the title sequence is, in fact, a comically animated 'man's nether bits', and quite ballsy, huh?) but then the distributors backed off not to be offensive, and it was released in Canada as STRIKE! (bland!) and in the US as ALL I WANNA DO (passable, I suppose). There is the referral early on in the movie 'this school eats the hairy bird' which (would have) fitted in nicely with the far more clever original title.I downloaded the trailer and wasn't entirely convinced that it would be great, but I have loads of Kirsten Dunst movies in my RavenGlam collection, so what the hell, I bought it because she is in it. And I'm glad, no THANKFUL, I did. Movie only became a hit with me in the second half, mainly because Gaby Hoffman failed to impress, let me not pussyfoot around that any longer. She's mostly boring, and ensemble cast 'up your ziggie with a wah-wah brush!' she's virtually the female lead. There's too little zing in the way the character is portrayed, so there you have a Flat Critter. Okay, so RavenGlamDVDCollector will always play favorites with the prettiest actresses, but here I have a rock-solid case! Go on, admit it! Three years later Canadian actress Jessica Paré (LOST AND DELIRIOUS) would have been perfect! Dammit I know you're gonna hate me for this suggestion, but surely there were much brighter candidates for this central part?I just have to mention that Lynn Redgrave played the character of Miss McVane with a quiet rage that played off beautifully. I'm a guy, and I'm here to talk about Chicks, so if I break down, you have to know that Ms Redgrave did something tremendously right. Yes, the little folk has to stand together to have a voice!And the song at the end just takes the cake! "The Hairy Bird"! I am well rewarded for my steadfast devotion all these years towards wading through everything, including end titles. I pity YES, PITY the lot of you who walked out of the theater or switched off on your rented DVDs because you missed the cherry on top! A hilarious, passion-killing rendition of the woes of an inexperienced young girl expecting a lovely surprise, but instead having to get acquainted with a guy's pecker on the first date on the back seat of his car... (Smaller than a mailbox, but bigger than one of those cocktail thingies...) And how the tables were turned! Ouch! I was out of there like a comet, I guess I slammed the door on it... Tell me, have you heard, how she crushed that Hairy Bird... Gee, that will teach you to switch off immediately!Let me just say that Kirsten Dunst is oh-so cute, and then there's Monica Keena, the added surprise, she is lovely, ooh yeah. Enough to make hairy birds all over the world wanna dance with 'em. :)

gambilljen It's a great movie with lots of laughs. I rented this movie because of kirsten dunst, but I didn't know for sure if I would like it, but I did. Kirsten Dunst character is hilarious. The other girls are funny as well. This is a movie both girls and boys will, but I think it will appeal to girls more only because it revolves around them. If your'e a fan of the movie check it out. Parental warning- this is definitely not for younger children, it contains sexual content and oher themes that, some are funny, but not suitable for kids. I give this movie a 8/10 rated PG-13- teen sex-related material language and some substance abuse.

Samaramax I loved this movie! I first saw it right before my freshman year in high school. It was something that I watched many times because I thought it was hilarious, due to the fact that it reminded me so much of my High School. At my all girls boarding school it was funny to look around and see all of the characters and issues. Sure this movie is a chick flick for the younger crowd but I think anyone who ever went to a boarding school, especially an all girls school, can relate to it. Girls who see this movie want to be part of it and the girls that have a life like this love to see the movie. What do girls wanna do after all but have fun!?

Mark Price Just watched this yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed but 30 minutes in the film, the plot became very familiar. SPOILER WARNING - The exclusive girls school, the club they have created, the annoying head girl, the party, the spiked punch, and the lead girl getting expelled for having sex. Have a look at the 1978 film called Boarding School starring Nastassja Kinski. Maybe it is a remake but I see no recognition of that anywhere. The boys are introduced into the film differently but it is so close that it cannot be a coincidence. If is not a new version of that film then Sarah Kernochan should be ashamed. Enjoyed it all the same and the lead girls are all good but not a patch on Kinski.
