...that's pretty much it. i was dissapointed with this movie (but what's new? i'm dissapointed with the majority of what hollywood puts out these days!!)

This is coming from a 14 year-old who is a little bit closer to this age group... Kids learn about "the Birds and the Bees" when they are about 10 or so...right? (I learned it in 5th grade). The worst "sexual inappropriateness" is covered in that awkward speech that you give your child... There isn't even that much of it. Not to mention the powerful message included into this movie... I'll admit that the 1950's sexism theme might be lost on your child, but I still think that this is a fantastic movie worth sharing to you whole family. I think that it is time for parents to realize that their kid knows little bit more than they let on...

I love it! This film is fantastic! The first time I rented it years ago I fell in love with it instantly & bought it soon thereafter. It has said to be a girl version of the Dead Poets Society movie, but not as meaningful. It's set in the 1950's and it has a very realistic, genuine feel throughout. The acting is superb and the chosen actors couldn't of been better! It's a film about finding yourself, making changes and going for what you love...not for what is expected of you. It has a lot of good messages throughout and great role models. It's a fun movie for probably older teens and up (tweens and teens don't seem to appreciate this movie, because they probably don't understand it's meaning). There's no violence, several discussions of sex and affairs but the content is not that strong like CommonSense suggests for some reason. Drinking & smoking is present. Language is pretty clean except for a few slips like @ss, d@mn, screwing (no "F" words that I remember) and whoever says this movie is bland, doesn't have much taste. This one is a gem!
