Parents need to know that this movie includes the death of a major character in a drunk driving accident. This is powerfully but not graphically depicted, but it may make the movie too much for under-10s or even some sensitive under-12s. An adult character responds to a stressful situation by saying, "I need a drink," and an underage character gets drunk when he's upset over a misunderstanding. There's some PG-level language. The movie makes it clear that Terri thinks carefully about whether she's ready to kiss a boy, even though it's someone she really cares about. Another girl makes a reference to being "bad" to get the boy she likes, but it doesn't work.
Violence:Tense family scenes, character killed in (non-graphic) car accident.
Sex:Mild references to "bad" behavior, kissing taken seriously.
I watched this movie at a friends house and I really liked it. The kissing scene between Slone and Kiwi the movie could do without, I didn't even watch that part! The car accident I thought it would be messy and not cool to watch, but all you saw was a big truck light and the brother looks over at his sister and then it goes blank. The boyfriend who gets drunk doesn't do anything "bad". The part when Hilary Duff sings Someones Watching Over Me you like totally understood the meaning of the song. And at the end when they all came together and sang Jericho I thought it was really cool. If your 11 or under you might want a parent to watch it with you. I'm 12 and I totally enjoyed it. Parents if your kids are bugging you to watch this movie and your not sure if they can watch it rent it and watch it when your kids are in school or asleep. If it has parts that you think are bad explain to your kids why. If you watch it on DVD and you think that the scene between Slone and Kiwi is way too much kissing casually hit the skip forward button and your kids won't even know the difference. I really loved this movie it was so cool!
This movie should be on for ages 9 and up. It had one part where J got drunk because he thought he was "worthless" Also a tiny bit of language but not much. Terrri wasn't a very strong charectar until the end. Overall, I didn't think this movie was worth seeing.
This is a great movie. It is inspirational, sad, heart-warming, and the music is fantastic. It's a movie I would like to put on my shelf so I can watch it again and again as I please.
I just about cried watching it.
THis movie was pretty good it's not one i'd say you have to see but it's very inpirational. I was actually surprised Hilary duff was very good she fit her character well. Good movie for Singers.
This Is A Heart Warming Story That Tells The Life Of A Teenage Girl With A Demanding Father, A Soft Hearted Mother, And A Brother That Thinks He Knows Everything. This Is A Must See Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! *****
^^5 Stars
This was good movie! IT was a little timy bit inapporprite but not really! It involes a drunk "boyfriend" and it turns into i guess u could call it a bunch of drama!
I absoulutly loved this movie but kids under 10 should not see it,a young teen gets killed in a drunk driver car crash, there is no gore but its shown dramaticlly through out the whole movie. Terri is shown in the hospital room, and she sees a flash back of the accident when bright lights are shined in her face. The father is sometimes aggresive, but not abusive. There is no sex, but there is one very graphic, and alittle too emotional kissing scene. The language is a bit colorful but not that intense.
