Across the country "Julia-watchers" saw her in the kitchen, infectiously enthusiastic, her flour-drenched hands reaching for the inevitable glass of red wine.

...girl's undergo hilarious initiation rituals. In one scene, in the middle of a parking lot, the junior high girls lay on the asphalt while the seniors douse them with mustard, ketchup and flour. They have to mockingly propose to some of the geeky senior men and suck on pacifiers while they're being tortured. With lines like "fry like bacon you freshman piggies," "since you little prick-teases can't follow instructions..." and the command of "AIR RAID!!!!!" the film's hilarity will become a part of your everyday conversation. I guess that's the biggest compliment...
