[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  We really didn't like it either (my kids are girl (12), boy (10), and boy (6)).  The worst part was the pro-rebelliousness piece - at one point, my 6 year old actually asked me: Is it better to listen to your friends than your mom?
Great message, film-makers!

I don’t think that was exactly the message for kids, but the takeaway for moms absolutely should have been “don’t freak out when your 13-year-old listens to their friends over you, because that’s normal and ok.”[/quote]

Yes, yes, yes!

I related so much to this movie.  My now 33 year old daughter was a perfectionist who was mortified anytime she disappointed us.  She was so perfect in every way, the family joke is the one and only time she was caught was her only act of rebellion.  The joke is, we all know (and know we all know) that it wasn't.  She was very different with her friends, pushing a few more boundaries and definitely sewed some oats when she went away to college.  I just wish I'd given her more self confidence to be herself, because everything she did was 100% normal.  She and I both cried this morning when I told her why I liked the movie so much.[/quote]
