Summary
Unpopular virgins and lesbian best friends PJ and Josie create a fight club to empower women, but is really just a front for duo to finally get laid.
When their true agenda is revealed, tensions run high.
Pineapple juice
Inspired by the likes of Heathers, Wet Hot American Summer, Booksmart and Bring It On, horny satire is an anarchic mix of adolescence and gore.
Performances hit the mark and impressive script is appropriately brash and loaded with palpable rage.
However, jokes don't always land and sometimes overplayed.
Chaotic climax of girls scrapping with the boys of Huntington High (or Golden Ferrets) revels in hilarious brutality.
This probably won't make any waves at the box office, but for originality alone, is worth anybody's time.
