Here's a story of Julia Roberts who's the hippie woman from California sent to a conservative school on the East coast to teach the women of the 50's about art. Even though Roberts is supposed to be an outsider in this film, I feel she doesn't even fit the film's role at all. Roberts struggles as a woman who feels that WOMEN in general should have a career and live up to their full academic potential. Julia Stiles plays a young college woman who could be the next lawyer and go to a prestigious law school but instead opts to get married. Roberts can't understand this. The films deals with some women doing what was expected and others actually finding themselves and choosing other paths. Kristen Dunst plays the angry girl in the film which creates most of the film's tension.
This films brings up interesting topics for discussion about women's roles in society for that time and today. It was an interesting film. The girls learn from Roberts and Roberts learns from the girls. I didn't learn much, but the fashion was fun.
Worth the money rating: $$ 1/2
