Plot

Enid and Rebecca have made it through high school and are out in the real world. But is the real world ready for them? Based on Daniel Clowes cult comic of the same title, this is a teen flick for everyone who hates teen flicks. The ever-cynical duo are put in situations they hate (running into girls they hate, taking art classes that they hate...) and take it out on the unsuspecting. Trying to to make your way in the post-high school world is hard enough but when you've got attitudes like Enid and Rebecca it becomes infinitely harder. Brad Renfro appears as the boy they enjoy torturing and Illeana Douglas plays Enid's feminist art teacher to perfection. This stellar cast brings this refreshing comedy to life straight from the pages of Clowes' ingenious comic.
