The premise is out of 70s porn, and so is the overbroad satire and almost total lack of conviction.

David Rosss stylishly tawdry black comedy fits neatly between Heathers and American Beauty. The Babysitters Club this aint.

Id call it a depressing soft core porn flick, but that overstates its titillation factor.

Theres little real wit here and, as far as teen chick antics go, its definitely no Heathers or Clueless, not even Cruel Intentions.
