Subscribe FreeDon't let those uniform-clad, perfectly-manicured young ladies of the affluent Roxbury Academy of Beverlly Hills fool you...they are manipulators, liars, and starlets. Enter Kimberly (Wood) who masterminds this Pretty Persuasion with the enlisted help of her two closest friends: Brittany (Harnois), who is in love with Troy (Sands), the hottest of the hotties, and Randa (Adi Schnall), a foreign exchange student fo few words who is just happy to be included. As the seed of sexual assault is planted against their drama teacher, it blossoms into a media storm and entangles the entire community. This film's clever writing and dead-pan delivery were recognized by a Grand Jury Prize Nomination at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. (Jack Kelley)
