[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it a lot and my kids really did too.

But I do think the character is a bit tired. I feel like every show is about misfits vs super popular kids. What about the normal kids who fit in, make good grades and enjoy life?

At least the parents weren't dead- so hey +1 for Disney on that.[/quote]

I didn’t get much a misfit vs. popular kids theme in this movie at all. The four main characters fit in well enough, made good grades and appeared to enjoy life.[/quote]

+1 In what way did you feel these kids were not normal, pp?[/quote]

I get what PP is saying. It seems like in so many kids movies, especially with female leads, the lead characters are either beautiful princesses/warriors (Moana, Mulan, Raya) or nerdy/outcasts (Encanto, Turning Red). There isn't much in the middle.  [/quote]

This. These girls were clearly misfits/nerds. And yeah, you could clearly see who the popular kids were (stacy? Tyler?) . It's nice that they had a strong group though, they weren't outcast and alone. I think everyone needs their own friend group. [/quote]

I really like the Babysitters Club on Netflix for this reason. Most of the girls are not over-the-top beautiful and they are a tight knit group of friends who aren't a bunch of random misfits. They all have their own styles and interests and friendships with one another and function similar to how most friend circles do.[/quote]
