Warning: Spoilers
Terrible film with Angelina Jolie starting off her career.

She comes into a school and goes around unchallenged by a security guard. Walking into a biology class, she sees that the teacher is harassing a student for refusing to cut up a frog. It turns out that the teacher has been doing more than just that to his female students.

Jolie, known as Legs, finally jumps the teacher with 4 other girls.

They are suspended by Principal Parks. (Richard Beymer) Sad to see that Beymer's career has come to this playing a non-understanding principal. The part is gratefully brief.

The girls are suspended and come back to the school with Legs since one of them has to retrieve papers. A lit match ignites a fire and the sprinkler system goes on. Even with the arrival of the police, the girls manage to flee to a hidden abandoned house where they dance and act like the brats they are.

Of course, there is a stolen car episode and a gun going off and hitting one of the parents. Seems his daughter, Goldie, is on drugs.

There is entirely too much going on here.

Legs thankfully leaves and Matty is suddenly no longer afraid of heights.

The writing is contrived. The ideas are out of inner sanctum. A very poor movie with no way out other than turning it off.
