Tween girls'll love it.
This is the classic, modern Disney movie about a teen girl who's an outcast besides her other outcast friends, suddenly becomes popular, and starts going against her friends and moral to hang out with the popular crowd. Something shocking happens, and she realizes that her true friends are the ones she's been with the whole time, and that the cute shy guy ACTUALLY LIKES HER!! Not the most original plot, but a cool story behind it, and something to do besides sitting there for 1.5 hours. Decent, and a good movie to watch with tweens, especially girls.

Teaches some very good lessons in a positive way
Although the main character behaves badly at some points in the movie, she eventually not only pays with tough consequences (all her friends turn away from her) she does learn the lesson that she badly needs to learn. It's a good movie to use to talk over issues like trying to be part of the "popular" group and how much to sacrifice your old friends to make new ones. The alter ego thing is a little strange, but it works out ok.

Typical Disney lessons, but a nice movie
This movie may be like a 3.5 because I liked it better than other DCOMS, but it's still typical. I like it how Jamie interacts with her alter-ego, Is. This is a better-the-average Disney movie. Good lessons, but there is a problem with role models. Although Jamie learns that popularity isn't worth losing good friends, her mom was really excited about her being famous (like CSM said) even though Jamie didn't really like it at first.

Disliked the film, but ok for kids
I found this film very irritating with the character the lead girl has created in her head. In some scenes she argues with the girl she has created in her mind in public and in her bedroom, which could be seen as a mental issue, you may want to discuss. I don't think this film has any good morals. The lead girl lets fame get to her head and she suddenly has interest in her male friend after she finds out he wrote the poems in class, not her crush. Which I personally thought was terrible. She would not like him otherwise. Her mum also seems to not care at all

Funny
there are alot of kissing and talking about how they love each other and jamie's imaginary friend thinks money is more important than friends and stuff sometimes Jamie thinks so too but in the end she figures out she's wrong good movie and really funny when shes talking to her imaginary friend "IS"
propably 9+ unless your children don't mind the kissing then it's like 6+ so pause

Read the Book, too!
Read It and Weep could be one of the best and most age-appropriate movies on Disney Channel ever! I really like the movie so I went out and bought the book: How My Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller! The book was a little iffier than the movie, but a lot alike.
