From the previews I thought this would be your standard sappy good vs evil movie. It's NOT. It's about friendship and relationships, and shows us that nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. Age appropriate - It's about high school and should be viewed by high school students. I watched it with my 7th grade daughter and found a few of the sceens inappropriate for her. Like a brief talk about sex and drinking at a party. The mother also appears as the heroine's thoughts (much like the angel and devil cartoons) and the in the thoughts the mother is constantly putting down the daughter. This movie shows us that nobody is perfect. The main character makes many mistakes, but most importantly she learns from them. I highly recommend you watch this with your daughters and try to get her to discuss it with you.

What Parents Need to Know
About Queen Sized
Parents need to know that although this made-for-TV movie -- which stars Hairspray sensation Nikki Blonsky -- has central messages about acceptance, body image, and eating issues that are good for tweens, too, there are several things that make it a better choice for teens only. For one thing, teen characters are shown drinking with no consequences, and there's at least one mention of teens having sex. Girls are also frequently shown in their bras (although you could argue that that's no worse than what the average kid sees on MTV every day).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about stereotypes in general and how difficult they can be to overcome. Teens: Has anyone at school ever tried to label you and make you feel like you weren't "normal"? If the main character of this movie was a student at your high school, do you think she really could have been crowned homecoming queen? Why or why not? Parents might also want to broach the subject of binge eating and stress that it's not a healthy behavior. While it's true that you don't have to be skinny to be happy, it's equally true that you should live your life as healthfully as you can by eating nutritious food and exercising regularly.
