That inspires the creation of a rebellious zine called MOXIE!, which Vivian distributes in the girls' bathrooms at school. After Vivian discovers her mother (Poehler) was a third-wave feminist in the '90s, she taps her knowledge about riot grrrl music and culture.
Hadley Robinson plays Vivian, a shy teen who's sick and tired of the ingrained misogyny she and the other girls at her high school are forced to endure daily-everything from boys creating objectifying and cruel lists about their female classmates' looks to the snide principal (Marcia Gay Harden) enforcing archaic dress codes. The latest film directed by multihyphenate Amy Poehler is Moxie, a coming-of-(r)age teen dramedy adapted from Jennifer Mathieu's eponymous novel about the positive power of punk.
