As a former Marine, Ellie De Witt (Rebecca De Mornay) is used to pushing herself -- but nothing has prepared her for the challenges of becoming an FBI agent. As she trains at the academy, De Witt encounters rampant sexism among her smarmy, mostly male, classmates. And, while she's a consummate athlete, De Witt's study skills are abysmal. But, with the help of book-smart trainee Janis Zuckerman (Mary Gross), she might just show her macho cohorts the error of their ways.

...an appealingly familiar premise that’s employed to agreeable yet forgettable effect...

A limp and nearly invisble female flip on the "Police Academy" conceit. I've seen ferns with more personality.

The stars make it fun enough.

I loved this one as a kid, and reconnected with it recently, and still really enjoyed it. Mary Gross' awkward and funny works well against straight woman's Rebecca De Mornay's gorgeous athleticism. There weren't many films from this time where 2 female leads were allowed to be both funny and action stars, and as a small girl, you recognize how powerful the suggestion is. I still think it's a rare quality, although "Thunder Force" (2021) and other films are trickling in, which is a good thing.

Intelligent comedy about two females who enter FBI training at Quantico, determined to become the best in the agency. Along the way they deal with chauvinistic male students and instructors. Gross and DeMornay make a good duo and the overall film is entertaining while the training scenes are believable.

A lazily written, intermittently funny comedy.

Usual mismatched cop stuff with a gender switch twist. Nothing special or memorable.
