Leanne Lin It is definitely a movie that touched my heart and made me moved to LOTS of tears!I've recommended this movie to some friends, expecting them to feel the same way that I felt. It's so good to see somebody playing your life in a movie.This is a movie based on a private girls' boarding school and also a true story happened on the director herself years ago, in her teenage life.In the movie, those girls have dreams of their own. And they all achieve their goals after stepping into the grow-ups' world (they really are very successful in real world). I was touched because I saw how much they cherish each other's secret and how heartedly they help each other through the difficulties in reaching out for their dreams. I , like them, have lived in a all-girls boarding school for 6 years. The movie reminded me those times at many nights, in our beds, my friends and I listened carefully to each other's dream about future, we share our young hearts, just like the girls in the movie do.I don't know what other people would think of this movie, especially males. But after reading some critics about this movie, I know that it is time for girls to stand out. There has never been any movie like this to tell what a girl really wants and how we girls think ourselves are. Any girls who have spend their teenage time in Wesley would love this movie like I do , because during the movie I cry out several time that" it's just like what we do in school!". I think mothers would love this film because don't they always want to know what their girls are doing in school! Also teachers in school would pleased to see this movie because many things they want these girls to know but don't know in what way to teach them is the best way are shown in the movie. We will all smile and understand that what a girl's responsibility is to respect our own dream and to think that we are so important. Strike is definitely fitted to girls who want to prove the real woman in them. It shows how friendship will eventually conquer all. I really liked this because it showed the value of friendship and trust in our teenage life. I hope everyone has a great time seeing this because I did.
kcjones87 I ALMOST skipped this movie on a shelf at the video store, but I'm glad I didn't because it turned out to be one of my favorites. I was surprised that with it's well-known (and well cast) group of actors it didn't have a bigger release, but it's worth searching out if it's not at your local Blockbuster.The story takes place in 1963 and revolves around a group of best friends at an all girls boarding school. The girls take place in countless adventures and mis-adventures, determined to get what they want and find ways around the school rules. They have an amazingly tight friendship and find fun and trouble in almost every situation. However, when they find out that they're school is merging with a boys boarding school, they have mixed feelings, but attempt to pull off their craziest scheme yet.The acting was great, it was full of timely AND timeless humor, and is a fun, feel-good movie. The more I watch it, the more funny moments I find hidden in. It probably won't be the best movie you'll ever see, but it's something everyone (especially teen girls) will enjoy.
RealLiveClaude Without saying this is a great girlie flick, "All I Wanna Do!" (or Strike! in Canada) is good in many parts, as it shows girls wanted to keep their school "as is" instead of turning as "co-ed". In 1964, the World was changing, so's the habits. Even if girls are crazy about boys, they have a secret place to blossom themselves. The Goddard School for Girls is the place, but economical reasons want to turn it into a co-ed school to make ends meet. To keep parents and directors for taking that decisions, the Daughters of the American Ravioli will do everything so their school remains an "all girl" only institution.At least you can have a good time here, Mostly if you are fan of Kirsten Dunst or Rachael Leigh Cook. For the rest, it's colorful, plain light, you don't get bored...*spoiler* Spot Hayden Christensen in a rather embarrassing situation !
Pepper Anne okay. this movie movie does make a legitimate point about funding and opportunities for all-girls school compared to all-boys and co-ed schools. simply put, society still has more faith in a man's prospective success than that of a female. unfortunately, viewers must wade through about an hour and a half of the adventures of oversexed girls to discover this point. and then it all ends in a rather unbelievable five minutes when the girls stage a rebellion to keep the board of trustees from allowing their all-girl school to go co-ed. so much more could have elevated this stupid star vehicle to a rather informative position. oh well.
