Good Love, Bad Action
Fantastic positive lesbian role modeling. One review said something to the effect of "way more than kissing." Apparently "way more than kissing" means snapping bra straps and tickle fights. Lighten up, people.
A+ for the love story.. D- for the cloak & dagger spy story. Way too much smoking and hard alcohol for a teen movie.. but too cheesy and not enough substance for a post-teen movie.

Ah-maz-ing!
I love this movie. It sends a great message about standing up for your beliefs (as long as they don't hurt anyone), even though they may not be popular with your friends. Also presents a fair portrayal of love between two women. It is not done for the benefit of men and instead focuses on the love between two people (of any gender) and how it can metaphorically "change the world".

A great PG-13 movie for 13 and up
D.E.B.S. is the first film with a positive lesbian message to be rated PG-13 making it actually accessible to teenagers. It is a wonderful and very funny movie. The romance between the two teens is woven in as part of the storyline in a very funny way that is part of the whole spy plot and doesn't make a big deal about it, it's just not an issue. Because of that I would say this film is great for straight kids to be more comfortable with their gay and lesbian pals. And also very important for gay and lesbian teens to see images of themselves on screen and experience the validation and happiness that comes from that. If your kids have seen pretty much any Disney movie for tweens that includes the concept of boys and girls having crushes on each other they can handle this. In fact, if they've seen HERBIE FULLY LOADED they'll be thrilled to see that this movie is by the same director (and this one is vastly superior).
