Kimberly Joyce (Evan Rachel Wood) is an insanely intelligent, wildly funny, shockingly cruel and sexy-beyond-her-years Beverly Hills teenager who will stop at nothing to become famous, including accusing her drama teacher (Ron Livingston) of sexual harassment. Believing the world is an orchestra and she is the conductor, Kimberly masterfully manipulates all those around her. She convinces her two best friends to join her in a campaign against their befuddled teacher. Kimberly entangles the entire Beverly Hills community in her carefully woven web of seduction and deceit in this clever comedy. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Quite a silly film with a very simple and unsurprising plot, which the filmmakers decided to make more attractive by telling it in flashbacks... Unfortunately, it didn't help, because all the flashbacks are unnecessary and everyone must have already guessed what happens in them. There is no humor worth mentioning either, so the only reason I don't send Pretty Persuasion to the depths of garbage is the character of the Arab student, who was the only one who was somewhat interesting.

With firm determination, clear intentions, and rational thinking, you can achieve anything. And this applies not only to noble intentions. A very tasty and sharp blow to all social problems, with sexuality and racism at the forefront. It is a shame that in the end, so many things happen that the resulting darkly humorous mix is shattered into pieces without its previous sophistication.
