Three schoolgirls learn about the joys, sorrows, and varieties of love in this drama based on the novel The Wives of Bath by Susan Swan. Mary (Mischa Barton) is a quiet girl who is still recovering from the death of her mother. Mary's father and new stepmother, who are blind to her emotional needs, send her away to an all-girls college, where Mary becomes fast friends with her new roommates, sophisticated Paulie (Piper Perabo) and worldly Tory (Jessica Pare). But Mary soon discovers that Paulie

Their characters may feel lost, but Ms. Perabo and Ms. Paré rank among the finds of the year.
This movie goes so far in the opposite direction of most films about teenagers that it might anger some viewers with its no-holds-barred honesty.
Barely skirting the lip of the ridiculous.
Pool and Thompson have turned a tough-minded, solid narrative into a campy piece of kitsch that panders to teenage angst.
Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.
Equally earnest and unconvincing.
During the long sit, we get symbolism lobbed into our laps like a large you-go-girlfriend beach ball.
Pool convierte el inerte celuloide en un pedazo vivo de realidad humana. Una película que navega de lo frágil a lo tosco y de vuelta.
A teen-lesbian Phenomenon without the maggots and psychotic chimp.
Way too little, too late.
Rarely has a filmmaker captured the essence of those moments between adolescence and adulthood with the skill and sensitivity Pool does.
Shakespearean drama as penned by a love-struck pubescent girl.
Well-intentioned but curiously out-of-date...far too earnest for its own good.
Perabo is a revelation, wild and fiery.
Less than an overwhelming success, but it's still touching and troubling, and amounts to much more than the average portrayal of teen angst.
Overly concerned with not offending its audience.
It takes place at a girls' school whose students are discovering love for the first time, so the unguarded, adolescent ripeness of their emotions feels right to me.
I saw this on television years ago and have seen it a couple more times after that. It has some how stayed with me as I thought it wasn't your typical teen movie, it was much more dark and dramatic. The acting by the young girls were pretty good. There's also girl on girl action in here if you're into that.
