That is the case for under-the-radar 16-year-old Vivian (Hadley Robinson), a shy student with dreams of college who tries to steer clear of the obnoxious class system in her high school, hunkering down with equally low-key BFF Claudia (Lauren Tsai).

But with an annual cool kids- generated list looming that threatens to tag them with embarrassing attributes, Vivian is at her wits end, driven to action after football star and popular student Mitchell (Patrick Schwarzenegger) stands up for misogyny when the new student in class, a girl named Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Pena), dares to suggest The Great Gatsby is full of outdated ideas.

Inspired when she discovers her mother Lisa’s (Poehler) activist past as a riot grrrl, Vivian creates an undercover zine, Moxie!, remaining anonymous as its publisher but putting the likes of Mitchell and others of his ilk in a bad light, while sparking the seeds of revolution among other girls who begin to band together as the zine takes off.

Meanwhile, Vivian gets a really nice and enlightened boyfriend Seth (Nico Hiraga), which is going well until a dinner with mom and her own budding boyfriend (Clark Gregg) turns dramatic when Vivian loses it, the pressure of her secret HS project taking its toll obviously.

Robinson is a real find, always believable as Vivian and someone you want to root for.
