Work It, and plenty more. It’s a smart move, considering this generation of teenagers has quite literally grown up with Netflix. The streaming service’s latest teen flick comes from Amy Poehler, who both stars in and directs
Moxie – the story of a feminist revolution on an American high school campus that looks like a total blast. Ahead of its arrival in March, Netflix has shared the first trailer, which promises a punky upbeat campus comedy with a riotous streak.
