Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pretty Persuasion is a 2005 American Black Comedy directed by Marcos Siega, starring Evan Rachel Wood, James Woods, Ron Livingstone, Jane Krakowski, Elisabeth Harnois, Adi Schnall, and Selma Blair.Kimberly Joyce (Wood) is a precocious 15-year-old who dreams of becoming an actress. Her best friend is Brittany (Harnois), and the two take new student Randa (Schnall) under their wing. They go to the exclusive Roxbury Academy in Beverly Hills, and it's at the same time that Emily (Krakowski), a local news reporter, is filming a fluff piece on the school, that the trio accuse drama teacher Percy Anderson (Livingstone) of sexual harassment. Hilarity Ensues.The film was noted on its release for proudly taking refuge in both vulgarity and audacity at a level many other films might not have dared to go. Very few of the characters are likeable, and the comedic tone is pitch-black. Think of it as a caustic mix of Heathers and To Die For with Nicole Kidman. Reviews are mixed, and mileages certainly vary as to whether the vulgarity and audacity are pulled off successfully, but most agree that Wood is a standout in the role of Kimberly.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Alpha Bitch: Kimberly fits the bill, except it's suggested she's not all that popular at school, at least in the superficial sense of the word "popular". | |

Catholic School Girls Rule | |
| Pretty Persuasion / int_394b3f31 | comment |
Catholic Schoolgirls Rule: Discussed between two male teachers who actually work at a catholic girls school. Also, while the teacher who is later accused of statutory rape by the Fille Fatale protagonist is in fact completely innocent of that crime, he does ask his adult girlfriend to dress up as a student. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Pretty Persuasion / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Although Anderson never molested Kimberly, what he did to Brittany was pretty close to sexual harassment, and it is still possible that he actually laid his hands on Randa. | |
