If you can palate a bunch of young, attractive, stinking rich, white Americans bemoaning their lot in life, Kernochan’s warm and witty comedy, a tale of private boarding school girls desperately resisting their venerable institution’s intention to merge with a boy’s one, is a film that may just prove to be a diverting one.
