YM At The Movies: Pretty Persuasion

Caught a screening of Pretty Persuasion last night. High hopes, kinda sucked. Re-tread of Election, Heathers, Wild Girls, etc. Attempts at "edginess" include 15 year olds masturbating, engaging in oral sex, and fudgepacking. Awkward, strained (not unlike 15 year olds fudgepacking) dialogue and plot. Doesn't work. James Woods is amusing, not enough. The website is better. Grade: D+
