    Witchcraft and Awkward Questions

    This movie is terrible! The girls constantly use video phones which is no doubt responsible for many teen girls' lacking social skills. It's about a nerdy tramp named Mandy and the popular rich boy she will do anything to get. In one part, some popular girls think they're witches and one wears a vial of Marilyn Manson's blood around her neck! Ugh! They also make casual sexual references which confused my kids and left me in an awkward position. I am a feminist and their treatment of women greatly offended my sensibilities!!!

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    It has a moral, happy ending but some of the behaviors, activities, clothing choices, etc. seem inappropriate for anyone younger than 16.

    Not Appropriate for ANY Tweens

    I am pretty open-minded about what my kids watch, but this movie was wrong on so many levels. It wasn't just suggestive...it was blatant. I am disappointed in the 'family channel' for even airing this. My 14-year-old daughter was at a friend's house, and that mother turned it off (thankfully). I watched the whole movie after the kids went to bed, and I was shocked by the sex, the drinking, the lying, the malicious humiliation. Nothing, nothing, nothing, redeeming about this movie.

    Family Channel?

    My 7 year old daughter was so excited to see this, but in the first five minutes there was already bad langueage and within 30 there was lots of sexual talk. I thought this was a FAMILY moovie. I gues when they say family what they really mean is teenage movie.

    Crass, Callous and Cliche

    As the father of daughters, I was very disappointed in the underlying message of this film: girls just want to date cute, rich boys - and their success at doing so is how they should value themselves. The girls in this movie have absolutely no interests or ambitions other than getting to the cool part, being with the cool boy - or, conversely, preventing a rival from doing the same. It plays on all the worst stereotypes of teen girls, and uses many tired cliches from the teen genre (posse of good girls vs posse of mean girls; hunky boy going to college his dad wants him to; etc) -- all of which have been used to much better effect elsewhere. The father was also absurdly over-protective if not imbecilic. The comedy and the drama all depends on people behaving at their worst. The movie sells teen girls short. They are far smarter and better than depicted here.

    I was shocked

    It was a movie geared toward teenagers, which I normally like, like highschool musical and hannah montana. I couldn't believe some of the things I was seeing and hearing for a teen movie. Now, I'm not naive, I know how a lot of teens can be (like doing worse things than in this movie), but I'm accustomed to the 'teen' movies being clean. I saw underage drinking, lying to parents and getting away with it repeatedly, and speaking of such things as a 'hump and dump' and 'getting deflowered'. I sat down expecting an innocent 'teen geared' movie and was very surprised with the content. It was TV 14, I just wanted to warn parents of young teens of this movie.

    A little angry

    We turned this movie off! I'll admit I was a little negligent, we didn't realize it was PG-13 until about 1/2 hour in, I made the assumption that it would be ok -- Ashley Tisdale, ABCFamily at 5 pm, and they kept touting a sneak peak at HSM 3. Yet the language was horrible, there was discussion about "de-flowering", she lies and sneaks around her dad within the first 15 minutes. The PG-13 rating is misleading, I think it should have been rated R. I wouldn't have let my 13 year old watch it. This should come with BIG warning lights and sirens.

    Good movie, too iffy for the majority of Tisdale's fanbase

    Sexual Content (Pause): The main character is referred to as a "hump and dump" and a "do her and dump her". Occasional mention of a boy taking a girl up to his shower for sex. Violence (Not an Issue): None. Language (Pause): Hell, damn, and ass. Social Behavior (Pause): A girl stops at nothing to humiliate the main character, including feeding her nuts, which she is very allergic to. The main character lies to her father about studying at a friend's house when she's really getting ready for a party. Commercialism (Pause): LG logo seen on video phone. Abercrombie and Fitch mentioned. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Teens drink beer. The main character swigs allergy medicine after her face swells up from an allergic reaction to nuts.

    ok for mature tweens but no younger

    I thought it was a good movie but it did have some cussing and had some inappropriate sexual talk but other than that it was ok

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    • My highlights are:
    • Good role models

    In this movie, well, through out this movie Ashley Tisdale is lying to her father. (who I might add is a "wee" bit over protective) There is also some iffy material, cussing, and such. Not the best role models. But at the end of the movie she relizes just how great she has it. And she even gets the guy! ha! it is a little cheasy but I would watch it

    I adored this movie!

    This movie was a great movie but it did have like lying to her dad and its not that good kind of vibe that you should be sending to your children because there is alcohol and throwing up because of it so I Kind of recommend it to at least 13 year olds because of this

    An under acheived film

    I think this film was not worth the $5 at Blcokbuster. I thought it would be a bit like "Mean Girls". But, this film is noooo Mean Girls. I found this to be boring and not romantic or funny in any way. Teens should not waste their time watching this. Go see National Lampoon's Pledge This or Mean Girls. I would not recommend this film.

    This is just wrong

    Ni, i'm not talking about the content like everyone else, I agree with CS's review. I'm talking about this terribly awful and horrid excuse for a film. Did i give it 1 star? OOPS! I meant -1,000 stars!!!! This is AWFUL! Not only does it portray parents as mentally insane prison wardens, it has no sense of coherence at all! Mandy simply could not have fooled her father like that! No person is that stupid, NO ONE! I just hated this film, period. I'm not gonna take up space, just say that this film is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!!!

    Not so good!!

    This movie looked great by its previews but was not so great. Mandy's behavior was wrong and she didn't even tell her dad what she did. The mean girls were also very mean and their behavior stunk.Their is some breif sex talk but nothing to turn off the movie over. The laguage was kind of iffy for younger kids. Rare uses of D&%n and Sl@t and He^^. But Overall Pause for 11 year olds and On for 12 year olds.

    A good girl movie for teens

    I watched this actually last night and I thought it was a pretty good movie. The movie is basically about a girl who is an outcast and whats her "dream man" to notice her. Over throughout the movie the girl is wanting her dad's trust and some parts in the movie were unessesary to put in the movie. But overall, a good movie for Ashley Tisdale. And there are mean girls in this film that I recommend no little girls modeling thereselves after. But, I liked the movie.

    Picture this is a great family comedy and very mild for a PG-13.

    Picture this has some sexual references. Such as 'hump and dump' and 'do her and dump her'. There is also brief sexual material. A girl takes a video with a girl's cell phone of a couple hugging and kissing. The profanity is mild. Characters say 'a--', 'damn', 'hell', and 'god' but very brief. There is no violence present in the film neither are drugs. The social behavior and commercalism is no problem. I actually saw the movie on the ABC. So I'm not making it up.
