I saw Pretty Persuasion last weekend and I found it entertaining, but I had expected more from it. It is a black comedy about a clever, sexually precocious student (Evan Rachel Wood) at a ritzy private school in Beverly Hills who frames her teacher for sexual harassment, persuading two friends to go with her, resulting in a huge scandal. And she does it all for the fame. I think Evan Rachel Wood does a great job playing the cool, calculating Kimberly Joyce, who seems to care about nobody but herself.
The cast:
Evan Rachel Wood as Kimberly Joyce
Ron Livingston as accused teacher Percy Anderson
James Woods as Kimberly´s dad, Hank Joyce
Jane Krakowski as lesbian reporter Emily Klein
Elisabeth Harnois as Kimberly´s friend, Brittany Wells
Adi Schnall as Kimberly´s Muslim friend Randa Azzouni
Selma Blair as Percy Anderson´s wife Grace Anderson
Danny Comden as teacher Roger Nicholl
Stark Sands as Brittany´s boyfriend and Kimberly´s ex boyfriend Troy
Michael Hitchcock as Headmaster Meyer
Robert Joy as lawyer Larry Horowitz
It´s good fun watching it, but in my opinion not a master piece.
