Plot
In 1963 New England, a group of friends at an all-girls academy learn that they're going to be combined with a nearby all-boys institution. They concoct a plan to save their school while dealing with everyday problems along the way.
Sinekatalog’s take
A light period comedy about schoolgirls scheming to save their academy from a merger. The tone is cheerful and a bit shaggy, with sweet coming-of-age detours. A pleasant, undemanding choice for teen-friendly nostalgia. The young cast brings enough energy to keep the light story lively and give it a nostalgic glow.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
