Not quite as good as Mills' earlier film, Guidance, but still quite clever, fun, and ultimately endearing. And yes, that's the real Geena Davis!

The message to stay true to yourself is good, but physical retaliation against a bully is not a positive message. Michelle McLeod is fabulous in the lead role.
