Strike!

Teenagers aren't allowed to vote in federal elections because they always select: D) All of the Above Candidates.

Luckily, the ladies in this comedy are more astute than their contemporaries.

To keep her away from her boyfriend (Matthew Lawrence), Odie (Gaby Hoffmann) is sent to an all-girls school where she aligns herself with the less reputable students (Kirsten Dunst, Monica Keena, Heather Matarazzo, Merritt Wever).

When it's announced that the school will amalgamate with the boys' academy, the girls set out to stop the merger by demanding that the board of trustees allow them to vote on the co-ed matter.

Also known as All I Want To Do, this subliminal salute to the suffrage movement isn't as superficial, flippant or as badly acted as most of the Girl Power movies from the late nineties.

Moreover, the only thing that girls learn at a co-ed school is where to buy Plan B.
