Confessions d'une rebelle

After about two years of searching, I have finally found a copy of "Confessions of a Sorority Girl" on video, and it was better than I thought it would be!!!

The beautiful Jamie Luner was perfectly cast as Sabrina, the misunderstood new girl at school. The basic story is this...

Sabrina (Jamie Luner) arrives at a new school, which her sister attended a few years before. Everyone expects Sabrina to live up to her sister's high standards, but Sabrina has other plans.

She tries to steal Alyssa Milano's boyfriend (Brian Bloom) and goes to all lengths to embarrass the other girls, until she finally goes too far...

It's a brilliant take on the Good Girl / Bad Girl theme and it is brilliantly done. Set in the fifties, it takes advantage of the fashion and music of that era.

5 Stars!!!

This movie looked like it was going to be a good time when I picked it up at the movie rental. My friend and I were disapointed with the thin plot, and predictable twists. Plus, it tried to be edgy, but cut away from the hot scenes. Not very good. 4 out of 10, and a waste of time.

Sabrina Masterson: I'm sorry Mother, God was only able to create *one* perfect daughter for you, now you'll just have to suffer with me.

I will never figure out the MPAA. They rated this "R" and i expected to see an interesting movie about sorority girls.

Unfortunately, it was just a boring story about the lose sister (Jamie Luner) trying to live up to her big sister's reputation. She uses all sorts of sneaky tricks, including blackmail, to beat the popular girl (Alyssa Milano) and impress her mother.

Naturally, she is just a loser and will always be a loser, just as this picture is.

Look at the 4.2 rating and that tells you a lot about this film. For those that put comments here including the words "hot", "steamy", "Intriguing", or "perfect" need to watch a few more movies or they are just too generous. While Jamie Luner and Alyssa Milano are both beautiful and do a fine job of working with what they have, the script is a montage of cliche.

1) Spoiled rich girl, hates everyone, does evil to all who won't kneel before her. 2) Good girl in love, hides family shame, doubts boyfriend, forgives and love triumphs 3) Girl gets pregnant, boyfriend leaves her to deal with the shame and problems, boy returns to "do the right thing".

and last: 4) Audience, desperately pressing "FF" button on remote trying to find a partially nude scene or the relief of rolling credits signifying the end to this terrible waste of film.

A hot-tempered and emotional girl from a wealthy family arrives to study at the college where her sister used to study. Largely because of the latter's reputation, she managed to get into this prestigious institution, where order and idyll generally reign. Guided by vague ideas, she begins to make various intrigues for local students, gradually heating up the general degree of the surrounding environment, which will ultimately lead to sad consequences for herself.

Throughout the narrative, the heroine's general motivation remains rather vague. She cannot be called insane, and what could be called momentary revenge seems far-fetched. As a result, a rather pale canvas, not particularly saved by the presence of Alyssa Milano, in particular inferior in sum to "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" (1996) with a mysterious figure in the person of Jaime Pressly.

The film is a re-imagining of the 1957 film "Sorority Girl".
