    Awesome

    by c4given

    Great movie...if you like dancing, you will love this. Don't listen to the hairbrained idiots that leave negative reviews....this IS NOT A SMALL children's movie, but it is artistic and wonderfully entertaining. So IF YOU'RE A PARENT, BE RESPONSIBLE AND WATCH IT YOURSELF FIRST...don't send your under 12-yr olds alone!!

    PG?? Seriously????

    by mom2mygirls

    My 11 year old daughter had her heart set on taking 5 of her friends to go see this movie for her birthday. I did have my reservations, but it was PG....so against my better judgement, I agreed. Next time, I will follow my gut!

    This movie has no business being rated PG. How in the world did that get passed? If you are looking to take your kids to a "family friendly" movie, I suggest you pass on this one. If you are in doubt, be aware that there are several swear words, (a--hole,b--ch,GOD----, sh-t, and a few others) as well as several sexually charged story lines. One of them is way too graphic for little ones, and involves a boy looking to "hook-up" and attempting to force a girl to kiss him. Additionally, there are instances of both attempted suicide, and underage drinking.

    That issue aside, I felt that were too may characters and too little story development. This movie would be appropriate for older teens, but NOT the "tween" age group.

    I loved it. Follows a class at a performing arts high school in NYC from tryouts through freshman year through senior year. What talent! The music and performances are butt kicking... Must see it!
