I bought this because for years I have seen the preview on my "The Craft" vhs tape. Ever since I was a pre-teen I have wanted it because it looked so good. Well finally, after all those years of dreaming I bought it and I'm very happy.

The basic story is that a girl, Maddy finds herself thrown into a world of four new friends within the first ten minutes of the movie. This mysterious girl, Legs comes into her science class and the next few weeks of Maddy's life changes forever.

Five girls come together after beating up a teacher for sexually assaulting two of them. They're suspended from school and live together in an abandoned house. They accidently start a fire in the school and well...I'll let you find out what happens after that.

Let's just say, if you're a teenager looking to run away from home like me, rent or buy this to escape just for a few hours. You'll want to beat up a teacher and get a tattoo :)

The reason I gave it four stars and not five were because I could hardly hear the actors when they were talking in the movie. I had to turn up the volume really high, but I always put on the captions anyway so it was okay for me. And in the beginning you can definitely tell it was based form a book how they were just skipping to different scenes here and there.

But I still LOVED it!

I wasn't supposed to like this movie. I wasn't. I got the urge to see it after renting the "Girl,Interrupted" DVD and falling in love with Angelina Jolie and then seeing the preview for this on the DVD.The movie in fact is pretty damn good.It's sad and funny and Angelina Jolie is incredible. The movie is about 5
High School girls starting with Maddy(Hedy Burress),a young,pretty,and intelligent art student.Rita(Jenny Lewis) a typical high school girl that is the one chick in Science class that doesn't wanna disect(If that's how you spell it) the frog.
Goldie(Jenny Schmizu) a chinese and/or japanese drug fiend.
Violet(Sarah Rosenberg) a perky "social" chick.And last Legs
(Jolie) a young rebel passing through town to town.When Rita is sexually assaulted by a teacher,the five girls join foreces and teach him a lesson.In other words they beat the crap out of him.
They're suspended and start hanging out at an old abandoned house and all discover their true selves I guess you could say.
I really don't know why I liked this movie,the movie is a chick flick at heart.It's a sad film,but Angelina Jolie shines and makes it more sad then it's meant to be.Go see this movie.B+

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..

A wonderful romp through girlhood, friendship, and growing up! One of my favorite girl movies, Foxfire proves itself to be a truly great movie! Not wholly unlike the Breakfast Club and other teen necessities, Foxfire is a true gem!

'Foxfire' is a film for the girls. Any girl that watches this film will immensly enjoy it. I first hired this film to watch because Jenny Lewis is in it as well as Angelina Jolie. I love the character Legs portrayed by badarse Angelina. Angie's so cool. Jenny did a well done job as the insecure Rita, Jenny always has spunk about her. All five girls are good as their characters. This film left an impression on me about friendship and will remain close to my heart. I recommand this to anyone thinking about seeing this film.
