I really liked this movie. The courtroom scenes were a little cheesy but overall the dialogue and message were intellingent and entertaining. Violence against women is all too common in media (and in life) and this movie makes it clear that it's NOT ok. That women shouldn't be victimized twice by the actions of some and the inaction and/or apathy of others. The only thing that really bothered me was that the main character's *statutory* rape by a teacher was treated as a plot point to advance the storyline, instead of as a tragedy all by itself. We watched this movie w/ our 14 year old because we thought the overall message was important. It really bugs me that a movie like this gets a "R" rating when other movies that treat sex casually and disrespectfully get "PG" or "PG-13" ratings.
