Do Revenge is smart and hilarious and is the closest anything has come to Clueless/ Heathers territory since… Clueless and Heathers. It’s way above average for a typical Netflix movie, which can range from absolute shit to strongly mediocre. Don’t get me wrong, that’s what I love and expect from Netflix. Especially around the holidays which is when Netflix is at it’s peak mediocrity glory. I am already dying to see which aging movie star they have pulled out of their dungeons for this season’s headline film. Last year it was Brooke Shields and it was flawless.

BACK TO Do Revenge. This movie probably could have been in theaters if this was 5-10 years ago. It’s smart and witty and raunchy in a good way. I am unashamed to admit I love Camila Mendes and all her Riverdale glory. I also completely respect her ability to play a credible high school student at the age of 29. You go girl.

Maya Hawke got on my nerves by the end of Stranger Things (don’t @ me). I think they overdid her character’s neurosis and made it feel forced and uncomfortable. But she is undeniably a great actress and its fun to look at the creation that is Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s doppelgängers smashed together.

I’m not really into plot summaries and there’s like ten million websites doing it better than me if that’s what you want. But I will just say the premise is two high school girls scorned by different cliques who team up to exact revenge on each other’s sworn enemies, and what follows is truly hilarious and unique and downright dirty and fun. The plot is not as predictable as you might think from my one-sentence description, and the best part is in the execution and also a surprising twist that might be a little foreseeable at least halfway through, but then twists again into an unforeseeable and very satisfying conclusion.

4.5 stars for the movie.

5+++ stars for the fashion.
