    Amy Poehler's Moxie empowers teen girls in fight against toxic masculinity

    Amy Poehler's Moxie empowers teen girls in fight against toxic masculinity
    play icon

    For way too long, the stories of boys and men have been prioritized in Hollywood and beyond. In fact, it’s only been in the last few years, that films like Blockers, Booksmart, and Yes, God, Yes, which offer a young female perspective on screen and female leadership behind the scenes, have finally started to come to the forefront.

     

    The latest in that lineage is Moxie, which comes off as a combination between the light airiness of a teen comedy and the righteous indignation of Promising Young Woman. Moxie is not a person but rather an idea thought up by Vivian (Hadley Robinson), a brainy-but-shy high schooler who rarely oversteps her bounds. But the arrival of new student Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Peña), who’s unafraid to stand up for herself, and a series of small-to-large inciting events awaken a new side of Vivian.

     

    Soon she’s digging into the protest history of her mom (Amy Poehler) to create an anonymous zine she dubs Moxie to call out the rampant toxic masculinity and culture that supports it at her school. Slowly but surely, Moxie builds a loyal following, with supporters protesting in a variety of increasingly bold ways.

     

    Directed by Poehler and adapted by Tamara Chestna and Dylan Meyer from the novel by Houston English teacher Jennifer Mathieu, the film is different from most teen movies in that it offers a broad range of viewpoints and tries to flesh out its main characters. Vivian’s best friend Claudia (Lauren Tsai), is Chinese, and the initial Moxie group features mostly Black and Latino girls. Without being condescending to them, the film gives these characters the opportunity to comment and expand upon Vivian’s message.

     

    While the film is mostly light in tone, it doesn’t back away from the seriousness of the topics that arise as part of the story. Underneath the fun of seeing these girls taking charge and trying to right the wrongs of their school lies genuine hurt that’s too often experienced by women in the real world. The filmmakers take care to illuminate various injustices and crimes without coming off as wishy-washy or preachy.

     

    The combination of feminism and romance has been antithetical in some other films, but Poehler and her team make it work through Vivian’s crush on Seth (Nico Hiraga). True, Seth is the hunky ideal of a feminist ally, but his support allows Vivian to become even more confident in her new outlook. Their bond also belies the concept that any woman who’s interested in advancing the cause for females is a man-hater.

     

    Robinson, previously best known for playing creepy twins in the Amazon series Utopia, does a great job at making Vivian come out of her shell in a believable way. She’s matched by Pascual-Peña, who’s magnetic every time she comes on screen. While the film belongs to the younger up-and-coming actors, the presence of well-known people like Poehler, Marcia Gay Harden, Ike Barinholtz, and Clark Gregg help the film navigate through some of its sticky points.

     

     Moxie is a blast of pure energy that proves that stories centered on and made by women need to continue being highlighted. The fact that it can deliver its serious point in a highly entertaining way makes the case that audiences need more movies like it, and the sooner the better.

    Soccer Championship

    Register now for tickets for 2026 FIFA World Cup games in Arlington

    The application period for the first ticket draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 is set to open on September 10, but football/soccer fans can register now to get their hands on tickets to matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and elsewhere.

    Running June 11-July 29, the 2026 World Cup will feature games in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, marking the first time the international tournament has been played in more than one country since 2002 in South Korea and Japan.

    This is also only the second time the U.S. has hosted the tournament; they hosted it solo in 1994. Mexico has hosted twice before, in 1970 and 1986, while Canada is hosting for the first time ever.

    Most of the games will be played in the U.S., as it features 11 of the 16 match sites, including Arlington and Houston.

    As participants in the tournament — which will number 48 for the first time, going up from 32 — are still being determined, individual game matchups have yet to be set.

    AT&T Stadium is scheduled to host nine games over the course of the tournament, the most of any venue. That includes five group stage matches, two in the Round of 32, one in the Round of 16, and one of the two semi-final matches.

    Fans can go to FIFA.com/tickets to register their interest and create a FIFA ID, the first phase in a multi-part process to get tickets. On September 10, those who are registered can use their IDs to apply for their first chance to buy tickets.

    Although the price of single-game tickets is not yet known, hospitality packages offering premium seats, food & drink, and more amenities can be purchased now, starting at $1,350 per person.

    The Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 is set to take place in December, with teams assigned to specific match schedule fixtures, including venues and kick-off times, shortly thereafter.

    There will be several distinct ticket sales phases all the way to the final match, and each phase may differ in purchasing processes, payment methods, and ticket products; full details on each phase will be released in the coming months.
