If you take away the preachy beginning and (especially) ending, this is a pretty entertaining story of a group of high school girls who rob service stations and commit other violent acts. Most of the acting isn't too bad for this sort of thing, but the actor playing the judge--who has 378 IMDB credits to his name!--is just awful. And he lived and continued to act more than 20 years after this, so it isn't as if he were on his deathbed. Perhaps he was just depressed by the awful dialogue he was given. Written by the immortal Ed Wood, and it has all the hallmarks of his "best" work, including narration and preachy lecturing. ( )
