      Confusing, but not as scary as the movie

      I like it, but it can be confusing for younger kids. Not as scary as the movie. If your kids want to watch the movie, read the book with them first, if they do okay it's probably safe.

      Awesomely Creepy!

      I love this movie personally, but there was reading tea leaves and things like that, which I try to avoid. It was very creepy and kind of gothic, but it's perfect for older kids who like horror ...

        Party On Dudes!

        I love it, but there are lots of sexual things in it, the boys stare repeatedly at Missy (Bill's mom's) cleavage, Bill's dad looks suggestivally at Missy repeatedlly, then pays Bill ...

      • TV: My Life as a Teenage Robot

        My concerns are:
        • Excessive violence

        • My highlights are:
        • Good role models

        Not perfect

        It's cute, but violent. Though I like that Jenny is a girl, yet is strong and can fight. I think that she is a good role model for little kids, minus the violence.

        Cute, with a few catches.

        It's adorable, though there's lots of drinking and advertising especially Spongebob.

          For older kids who like to read and imagine!

          This is one of my favorite books, but of lot of it went over my little brother's head. Very adventurous and fun.

          Cheesy and Unrealistic :(

          This movie is not what I expected at all! So, so, so cheesy!!! Anything for you Dad, there's a new brunette in town, and flip and wave are some of the worst lines. To top it off one of the main ...

          My concerns are:
          • Inappropriate sexual content
          • Inappropriate language
          • Negative message

            Older kids and teens only!

            I love this movie, but there is lots of sexual behavior, for example 99 is shown with not much on. Lots of language. And many, many jokes about overweight people, but if you're the right age, ...

              Great for 5 and up!

              I loved it, but there is a scene where she sneaks out with a guy even though she's engaged to another, and they fall asleep together, but otherwise it's great!
