STRIKE (1998)

Plot

The girls at Miss Godard's all-girls boarding school live a blissful existence away from the bad influence of boys. Time that would have been spent kissing behind the bike sheds is put to use trying to set up the perverted history teacher and escaping the grounds for milkshakes. But this happy existence is put under threat when the girls uncover a plan to go co-ed with St. Ambrose Boys School. But rather than being pleased with the chance to flirt with the opposite sex, the girls decide to strike. With the teen flick having a comeback, it looks like the old genre is getting a dose of girl power. An entertaining teen flick. Starring Kirsten Dunst as the willful pupil leading the secret gang planning to picket and with a fine performance from Lynn Redgrave as the distressed headmistress.
