Moxie

"A welcome entry into a familiar genre that will resonate with young audiences burdened by the unwritten rules of their respective educational institutions."

"The target audience will surely be aware of the canon of superior, funny movies - and they will be baffled to see that Poehler doesn't want to do something similar."

"It's the kind of movie that needs a feather-light touch or plenty of humor to avoid feeling overly parental. Moxie has neither."

"It's a much-needed rebuttal to the trend of commodified feminist thinking, where the focus remains purely on personal gain..."

"There are worse fates than dorky earnestness, of course. But Moxie just isn't all that funny either."

"There is a phony, learn-a-lesson vibe (we used to call them "afterschool specials") to Moxie that you won't find in far superior recent work like Eighth Grade, Booksmart, or Love, Simon."
