Movie Review

Grade: B Review by Robert Bell

It's interesting how the feminist movement of the last forty years, that has taken so much work, heartache and struggle from so many pioneers, has been tossed out the window by the modern teenaged girl.  Young women look like ten cents a dance as of late, in their skin tight jeans, midriff revealing tops, gaudy J-Lo hats, Nicole Ritchie sunglasses, excess lip-gloss, big tacky earrings, pointy whore boots and overpriced purses, while smacking gum and yapping incessantly on their cell phones about who like gave them like attitude and like who stole their like boyfriends and what a like bitch they are.  It's a Hills watching generation of intellectually stunted Paris Hilton following skanks.  Let's hope for their sake that prostitution is legalized within the next ten years so they at least have a trade to fall back on aside from marrying rich.
