Foxfire

Pros: Jolie
Cons: everyone and basically everything else

Foxfire (1996) might not be the best movie Angelina Jolie has been in, but it’s definitely worth a try. I have to admit that I didn’t really care for the plot, because the moment Jolie walked in wearing motorcycle boots and leather jacket (and ...

Pros: direction, cinematography, story
Cons: convenient abandoned house, some will be offended

"Foxfire" is a drama about five teenage girls who become close friends but get into trouble with authority figures. Though critically ignored and maligned, it is actually an excellent film. I liked the cinematography, the characters, and even...

Pros: Decent music, I guess.
Cons: The music is a background for crappy scenes.

"I know! Let's produce a movie with rebellious teen girls who are bad-a$$ because they skip school and get tattoos!"

This movie leaves nothing but a bad taste in my mouth. I know, I know. Angelina Jolie has received all kinds of...

Pros: Great acting from relative "unknowns"
Cons: The plot falters a bit, and comparison to the book is unfair

My sister introduced me to "Foxfire" (the book) several years ago. After I loved the book, and when I found out there was a movie, I immediately went and rented it. Twenty viewings later (I've since bought my own copy), I still discover really...

Pros: Great story
Cons: None

I first saw this movie on HBO and I thought it was fantastic. It is a very well written story. It stares Angelina Jolie, who plays Legs Sadovsky, a drifter who runs into a gang of girls that really don't fit together at all. In the gang there's a drug...

Pros: touching, great acting, solid plot
Cons: chick flick

Foxifre, a movie about five girls who form a friendship after beating up an abusive teacher would not be easily understood by simple minded middle aged critics. The movie has a deeper meaning. It shows the true value of love and friendship. How far would...

Pros: decent acting, good novel
Cons: not nearly as good or rebellious as the book

Foxfire, loosely based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel of the same title, is the coming-of-age story of teen girls learning that standing on their own may mean jeopardizing their futures and threatening their boyfriends. Hedy Burress, lately and...

Pros: Angelina Jolie, Strong story line for women
Cons: Some of the actors were obviously inexperienced.

Many of us have had someone enter our lives at a time when we think we are at our lowest and that person lifts us up and helps us find the strength to carry on. Angelina Jolie (who is incredible as always)is just that person as Margaret "Legs"...

Pros: Angelina Jolie and Heddy Buress give excellent performances
Cons: Too many controversial topics for a 1-1/2 hour movie

Angelina Jolie plays a rebellious drifter with such a strong, magnetic personality that other girls follow her places, and do things, they would never have considered doing alone. Many of these things are bad (what do you expect from a rebel) and the...

Pros: True womanhood happening here.
Cons: Men probably wouldn't watch it.

I stumbled across this movie late one night. Now I watch every time it comes on no matter what time. I just wish I had that kind of friendship when I was in a crisis in high school.
The girls in this film show that no matter what is done to us, we...

Pros: Tribal Feminism
Cons: Under-appreciated

After a long admiration of the acting style of Angelina Jolie, I stumbled upon this masterpiece one day in the video store. A story of femininity, love, and a passion for life, Foxfire's impact on my soul hasn't lessened one bit over time. Angelina...

Pros: Cast, acting, fun, powerful
Cons: nothing

Foxfire, mainly starring Angelina Jolie, was a superior film. Still, it was not taken very seriously by most of the critics. I have to admit, I loved it. The characters were superb, as was the acting itself. And to tell you the truth, I never thought I...

Pros: I don't understand this part of my opinion
Cons: Again, I don't understand the purpose in this.....

I would just like to point out that your description of the movie, Foxfire, is incorrect. Only TWO of the five girls were being sexually harassed by Coach Buttinger. It was Red (Rita) and Violet. Maddie, Goldy, and Legs got involved, and this was how...

Pros: Three-dimensional, sensitive characters. Visually pleasing. Interesting ideas/life questions.
Cons: None.

Foxfire is full of spirit. The movie is touching, but not sugary. It tells the story of a group of young girls who question and rebel against the many corrupt aspects of their world. The five, very different girls who make up Foxfire join together...

Pros: Angelina Jolie is in the movie.
Cons: Could have added more story behind who Angelina's character really was.

This movie was different from most teenage movies, yet typically the same. Of course having Angelina Jolie in the movie makes it all the more interesting is a plus.


The story is really easy to get into. Kids are going to high school in a...
