parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this upbeat TV movie based on the popular MTV reality series MADE offers teens strong positive messages about being yourself and working hard to realize your dreams. The content veers a little to the mature side: There's a fair bit of sexual content, including kissing and innuendo; there are also references to homosexuality, some strong language (notably "bitch"), and underage drinking (including one teen throwing up). The death of a parent is briefly discussed.
Positive role models:
Tuba is very clear about who she is and what she wants and is willing to work hard to reach her goal. Other students are less admirable, but they're also depicted in a way that makes it clear that they're not intended to be role models.
Violence:
Students throw food at Tuba and her friends.
Sex:
Hugging, kissing, sexual innuendo, and references to sexual identity. Some discussion of women’s “booty," and choreography contains some butt shaking.
Language:
“Bitch” is used to describe some of the high school girls.
Consumerism:
MacBook computers are clearly visible throughout the movie. References to Facebook.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Underage drinking; one student is shown throwing up.
