Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts) abban a hiszemben vállalja el a munkét a leányiskolában, hogy az állam legjobb és legtehetségesebb diákjai élni fognak majd a lehetőségeikkel. Ám a lányok, köztük a vezéregyéniségek, Nancy Abbey (Marcia Gay Harden), Joan (Julia Stiles) és Betty Warren (Kirsten Dunst) számára sokkal értékesebb egy eljegyzési gyűrű és a háziasszony szerep, mint a tudományos műveltség. Katherine érkezése felbolygatja az iskola és a diákok életét, tanítványainak előbb-utóbb dönteniük kell, merre akarnak tovább menni. (InterCom)

In the films The Hairy Bird and Dick, we have experienced the joys and sorrows of teenage life in the 1960s and 1970s together with Kirsten Dunst, and now we return to the 1950s in an arc and, thanks to Kirsten, once again experience the many paradoxes of a particular era. Where was the democratic progressive society of the USA a few years before World War II? In prehistoric times, folks.

An old-fashioned film with charming actors. Everything is color-coordinated and it gives off an almost calming impression. Julia Roberts and Kirsten Dunst deliver their very high-quality performances, and the script is not bad either. Thematically appealing, but overall it feels a bit tedious.

On one hand, yes, it is quite an interesting portrayal of the period with believable characters, but on the other hand, it's a story that feels incredibly contrived. The happy ending at the end seems almost forced, and suddenly you're supposed to like a character you've disliked the whole time. You realize that all of a sudden, they all become caricatures who don't say anything, they just play for the sake of the story. Yes, it works overall, but that's normal for similar films. It's a pity that the film doesn't bring anything extra, like the film "Black and White World" did, which it actually has quite a lot in common with "The Smile of Mona Lisa".
