Movie Reviews of Foxfire
Movie Review: Angelina Rebells for a Cause
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a coming of age movie for a small band of young women expelled from high-school for attempting to deal with a perverted biology-teacher all by themselves. That gets everything moving. The scene is set in a small town on the bend in a river with a great old bridge. There is not a lot here to tie the story to a particular geographic area or period in American history. All the guys in town are upset with the girls for causing the biology-teacher, who is also the football coach, all this trouble. That along with other social issues to tangle everything up real good leads to a series of crisis scenarios. The ostracized girls hold a "bare-breast tattooing by candle-light" party in "their" abandoned house. Then, with messes all around, several people need to be rescued, one at a time, until nearly everything is resolved. Life goes on with everybody, wiser for their shared experiences, wandering off to make their own way in the world.Movie Review: Not a Chick Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget what ya heard, Foxfire is definitely not just a chick flick. I'm a guy and I've loved this movie since the first time I saw it. Initially, I'll admit I was attracted to it because it featured two of my favorite actresses(Jolie, Burress) but it was the story itself that has made me a devoted viewer of this movie ever since. The movie is miles and away different from the book it's based on, and not just due to the setting. The relationships between the girls are slightly altered, not to mention a good number of the girls are left out. That in no way diminishes how dead on the emotions each character portrays are played out. Thelma and Louise? Definitely a film made solely for the female audience. But Foxfire is just head and shoulders above that. Great film.Movie Review: as good as the book but not the same exactly
Summary: 5 Stars
the book and film are in different settings, legs is much different in the movie than in the book as how she treats maddy but i guess nobody wanted to see legs bust maddy's nose and leave her on the streets or see the initiation ritual of one girl and it was no tattoo (im not saying the tattoo scene wasnt in the book because it was but the movie was sugar coated in parts). There were alot more molestation stories, things were explained alot clearer and it was set in new york in a far earlier time period. they were very different. i do love the movie though, its great. just as great. just different. no its not a chick story, its based on a feminist novel..
Movie Review: Like fire...
Summary: 5 Stars
This film burns the screen with power, sensitivity, unbreakable bonds and emotional connections that will blow your mind. Jolie and Burress shine in Foxfire in a way that you'll never forget. Every woman has been a girl, and, even if they store their feelings deep inside, they have to wish they had spent a few months like these girls. I know I do. But even guys have to relate to the realistic rebellious and connected spirit these girls reflect on-screen. Every character is well-developed. I wish I could change the ending of the movie, but that ending is what keeps things real. This movie is definitely a treasure.Movie Review: In your face and gripping
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a great movie. A breath of fresh air, because unlike most of the films about girls, boys or men are the center of everything and this film focused on the relationships and love between the girls, and it accurately portrays the feelings of lost, uncontented teens who know that there has to be something more.
The funny sequences in this movie are almost too funny- A couple of the people who were watching it with me turned blue, and it has some great one-liners.
Fun to watch, it picks you up and won't put you down.
