Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    One main character is attracted to another even though she's extremely rude and snobby. Characters discuss women's bodies occasionally. The cast is almost exclusively white.

  • Violence:

    Fist fighting, threat of violence.

  • Sex:

    Making out, sexual scenarios, groping, provocative clothing.

  • Language:

    Some adult language: "hell," "bitch."

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Several main characters use and deal drugs, though usually with negative repurcussions. Social drinking by young people, but specific acknowledgement of underage drinking as bad.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about dating and relationships. What makes someone attractive? Why do people sometimes fall for those with unappealing characteristics -- snobs, drug addicts, egomaniacs, etc.? What does who you choose to date say about you? Also, how realistic is this scenario?
