Netflix Reveals First Trailer for Coming-Of-Age Comedy ‘MOXIE’

Netflix has revealed the first trailer (watch above) for its new coming-of-age comedy movie “Moxie.” Directed by and starring Amy Poehler, the film is coming to Netflix on March 3rd. 

Moxie tells the story of a girl (Robinson) from a small town who is inspired by her mother’s Riot Girl past and starts a feminist revolution at her high school

Tamara Chestna (After) has adapted the screenplay based on the book Moxie, by Jennifer Mathieu. Amy Poehler for Paper Kite, Morgan Sackett, and Kim Lessing for Paper Kite are the producers.

Vivian (Hadley Robinson), a seemingly shy 16-year-old, has always preferred to keep her head down and fly under the radar. But when the arrival of a new student (Alycia Pascual-Peña) forces her to examine the unchecked behavior of her fellow students running rampant at her high school, Vivian realizes she’s fed up. Inspired by her mother’s (Amy Poehler) rebellious past, Vivian anonymously publishes an underground zine called Moxie to expose bias and wrongdoing in her high school and unexpectedly sparks a movement. Now at the center of a revolution, Vivian begins to forge new friendships with other young women and allies, reaching across the divide of cliques and clubs as they learn to navigate the highs and lows of high school together. 

Directed by Amy Poehler and based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu, MOXIE also stars Lauren Tsai, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Nico Hiraga, Sydney Park, Josephine Langford, Clark Gregg, Josie Totah, Anjelika Washington, Charlie Hall, and Sabrina Haskett, with Ike Barinholtz and Marcia Gay Harden.

This is Poehler’s second feature with Netflix. Her first film, Wine Country, premiered on Netflix in May 2019. Poehler directed and starred alongside Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, Tina Fey, Maya Erskine, Jason Schwartzman, and Cherry Jones.
