A Great Feel-Good Comedy.

All I Wanna Do, or Strike was a great and funny movie. I don't know why it's called Strike on this website, but on the cover it says All I Wanna Do. This movie had a great cast: Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffman, Lynn Redgrave, Rachael Leigh Cook, Heather Matarazzo, and Matt Lawrence. This movie is about Miss Godar's School For Girls, and when Odette comes, she meets Verena and all of her friends, and becomes a part of a club that is named after cold raviolies, is held in the attic of the school. Then, when Miss Godard's school is to become a coed school, the girls have something to say about it, and plan to ruin the Ambros School for Boys permanantley! This is a real feel good comedy. I give All I Wanna Do a 10 out of 10!!! :)

Teen pranks with a purpose.

Cute movie with lots of laughs and teen attempts to change the world. I enjoyed this one for the humor and the realistic aspects of what teenagers can and will do. Young love not to be over looked. Whether prep school, college or finishing, kids will find a way to out smart the school administration and that's what this movie is about. If you want humorous entertainment, this is the one for you.

THE BEST teen movie out there...

Me and my girls ALWAYS watch STRIKE when we have sleep overs. YES, it is a chick flick and it is a teen movie. But it's always such a joy to watch this: it's got great female characters you easily get attached to, good sub-plots that make it more believable and an unlimited amount of unforgettable quotes and jokes. The theme of the movie is really STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BVELIEVE ME. But also ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOUR FRIENDS. I, personally, love teen movies that are both hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. And this is definitely one of the best teen movies out there. I also really like ''Never Been Kissed'',''10 Things I Hate About You'',''Down To You'' and ''She's All That''. And if you've seen and enjoyed all of these movies and haven't seen ''STRIKE'' yet, get your butt of that chair and run to the video store. You won't regret it.

Congratulations, Sarah Kernochan

Very, very good movie. I'm a big movie fan, but I'm picky about what I like and I like this. The characters, in my opinion, were well-chosen for the parts they played.

I, however, had a problem with Gaby Hoffman as Odette/Odius/Odie Sinclair who is a new arrival in this movie. It's like she's trying too hard to be cool among the girls, which rubbed me the wrong way, especially at the end when they fought back and she was the leader.

But the movie was a big success, in my point of view. I loved how Tinka fell in love with "Little Rascal"-esque Snake ("She's sucking his face off!") and how her St. Ambrose date was a little...premature but a major cutie, who grew up ALOT. All in all, it was a great hit of a movie and recommend it to anyone.

If You're a girl, you MUST see it.

This story is about the teenage girls who plays the dirty tricks on the school boys from the different school and saving the girl school in danger. I watched this movie in the theater AND with VCD and I love this movie. My boyfriend slept in the theater, though. Maybe this movie is NOT for the boys. Chris is a BIG fan of Kirsten Dunst and Gaby Hoffman, but he said he just didn't like the movie. I thought Kirsten Dunst played Verena really well. She's such a intelligent actress in Hollywood. Rachael Leigh Cook was cute in the movie playing a spoiled girl. I give 8 out of 10. If you want to watch a movie like this, rent 'Now and Then'. You'll see Gaby in 12.

Storyline

Trivia
This movie was originally titled "The Hairy Bird". Miramax, the film's American distributor, found the title too offensive as it alludes to male genitalia, so they released the film under the alternate title "All I Wanna Do". In Canada and the United Kingdom, the film is titled "Strike!" Only the Australian release retains the original title.

Goofs
Vereena's tray as she purchases cigarettes from one of the cooks. The plate is on the tray, then on the table as she removes the cigarettes, then it is on the tray again.

Quotes
Odette: Up your ziggy with a wa-wa brush.

Crazy credits
The opening credits state, "A Film By Everyone Who Worked On It."

Alternate versions
When Tinka slow dances with a boy, rubbing her hips against him, the "Strike!" and "The Hairy Bird" versions of the film linger considerably longer on that moment, with two party attendees saying "Look at Tinka, she's at it again!" in the middle. After it is implied that the boy ejaculates, these two versions of the film show Verena mischievously handing the boy a handkerchief, and subsequently saying to Momo: "So suave, so continental these Saint Ambrose boys!", to which Momo responds "I can't wait until they're a permanent part of our lives!", concluding the scene. The dance plays a lot shorter in the "All I Wanna Do" version, and the handkerchief moment and subsequent dialogue with Verena and Momo is completely removed. The scene ends with the party attendees saying "Look at Tinka, she's at it again! in this version, but you can still see a bit of Verena grabbing the handkerchief right before the interaction of the party attendees.
