Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Easy-going high-school comedy about angry young women taking revenge on the school heartthrob ("Somewhere between an Abercrombie model and a Greek god") who's been stringing them all along. Enter allegedly plain and uninteresting new girl Kate (Brittany Snow, actually a blonde, blue-eyed little Jennifer Aniston), ready to be transformed into man-bait.
The pitch - First Wives Club meets Heathers - is decent, the leads are amiable, it moves along jauntily and there are a couple of decent running gags, so it's by no means a penance to sit through. But Thomas (The Brady Bunch Movie, Doctor Dolittle) and Jeff Lowell, her screenwriter, have a shaky grasp of logic, both plot- and morality-wise, and their apparent belief in the power of the food fight to plug any gaps is wide of the mark.
