Foxes

Genre/Type:  Coming-of-Age, Teen Movie, Drama
MPAA Rating:   R
Major Cast:   Jodie Foster, Cherie Currie, Marilyn Kagan, Kandice Stroh, Scott Baio
Director:   Adrian Lyne
Plot Summary: Foxes details the exploits of four teenage San Fernando Valley girls as they drink, dope and sleep their way into oblivion. Jeanie (Jodie Foster, in a standout performance), the most grounded of the quartet, deals with her burned-out working-student-mother (Sally Kellerman, also excellent) while playing mother to her cohorts; Annie (Cherie Curie), a promiscuous drug-vacuum, attempts to dodge her psychotic police officer-father while partying round the clock; Madge (Marilyn Kagan), an overweight tag-along, who tries desperately to fit in with her wilder friends; and Deirdre (Kandice Stroh); an insecure liar and also-ran. While the performances (particularly the aforementioned) are good, and the direction is solid, the script doesn't seem to go anywhere; maybe that's the point, though, since neither do the characters in their vacuous, instant-gratification-based existences.-- Jeremy Beday ( All Movie Guide )
