What Parents Need to Know
About Princess Protection Program
Parents need to know that this movie centers on two exemplary teen heroines who demonstrate that friendship, character, and self-confidence are the keys to true happiness. The content is wholesome and worry-free for families, and the movie's positive messages will resonate with kids and tweens, particularly girls. Two "mean girl" characters play tricks on the main characters, but in the end they're exposed as the self-absorbed people that they are.

Good movie for ages 8-13
This was a good movie, there were no bad words at all, the only thing was that they attend a dance, and that girls are wearing strapless dresses..Other than that it's a great movie!

I thought this movie was great. I loved how they used Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato since they are like BFFs. It had a positive message and was great for kids.

Great role models and messages
This movie is appropriate for kids to see, but after I saw it once, I didn't want to see it again. It just didn't have that spark in it to make me think that it was "an awesome movie". I'm not saying it was horrible. It is pretty good. The movie definitely demonstrates friendship and self-confidence. Princess Rosalina (a.k.a Rosie) doesn't care how she looks. She doesn't have to look stunning. She feels good about herself in every situation. Carter comes to learn that appearances don't really matter; it's what's on the inside that counts.

feel good, cute, love demi and selena
cute movie, for me it was a little young (obviously it was not made for 12 year olds) but certainly good. The girls are both pretty good actresses, they're cute and I love both of them, they're good role models and if you child watches this movie and wants to see more of Demi and Selena, check out Sonny With A Chance (not the best show I think) and Wizards of Waverly Place (adorable and funny) which are both age appropriate for 8+.

Postitive
I think that this movie has two postitive and sweet celebs. They send postitive messages about friendship. The only thing I am iffy about is a bit of the violence. But other than that i rate it FINE!

Nice message re friendship, some typical Disney stuff I don't like
My girls (7-10) enjoyed this movie. Nice message showing that a rich "royal" girl is not supposed to be just focused on shopping, beautiful clothes, hairstyles, fun, etc. but that as a princess she should be HELPING others. However, that message was hard to see in the early part of the film bc the princess is (nicely) acting like people around her are her servants, "excusing" them from her presence, expecting them to get/do things for her etc. As with most Disney movies, the teenage girls in the movie tend to be skimpily dressed. Low cut tops/dresses, tight clothing, miniskirts etc. But that is hard to get away from with most movies these days. The initial storyline itself is kinda of silly. The opening scene shows the princess with her parents in a royal courtyard of sorts, and the military leader goes on attack with a coupe whilst the princess is whisked away by trusted friend who is from the Princess Protection Program. I thought, why not take her mother, the Queen away too? (since the fate of her mother becomes important in a later decision). But then, this is Disney, this is fiction! Just not very realistic. Most of the movie does not focus on that aspect anyway, but rather focuses on how the trusted friend's teenage daughter relates with the Princess who comes to live with her. Some of the scenes are petty too, showing other teenage girls so caught up in their own looks/pretty girl status that they are quite hateful to the Princess & her friend. But then, that does echo what we see in real life sometimes. I didn't like a couple (brief) scenes showing boys fawning over certain girls, likewise with certain girls expecting some of the boys to do their bidding. The best part is the positive message of being kind & humble. The Princess ends up being a good role model for girls watching this film because she is never mean or spiteful (even her early expectations do not seem arrogant, just what she is used to), she is always kind, she is self-confident even when others try to make a fool of her, and not vengeful. She shows that she was brought up to be thoughtful & considerate.
