Parent reviews for Summer Eleven

Content is tame, and the story lines are somewhat interesting. However, the acting and script are really horrible. I haven't seen a more poorly scripted/acted movie in a very long time. There aren't many movies for the tween group, true, but this one is completely pointless and skippable unless you want to demonstrate what bad acting looks like.

My ten-year-old daughter and I watched this movie together and loved it. I don't see how people could say the acting was bad--they girls acted just like real girls and not the sassy, made-up girls on the Disney channel. It was a hard year for our family and this movie allowed us to talk about how difficult/sad things happen to everyone at some time. It might not be the most entertaining movie ever, but it was a great mother-daughter togetherness movie.

Honestly, when I looked at the cover, and name of this movie I thought, "Oh, brother, another cheesy, low-budget, girl power movie... *Sigh*." When the movie started I was already rolling my eyes, waiting for the dreadful ninety minutes of pure boredom to begin-- The boredom never began. I really enjoy how the antagonist(s) in the movie are not people, per se- they're life's circumstances. The acting was actually pretty good- MUCH, MUCH, better than I expected. It wasn't shallow. It was pretty close to being a tear-jerker, not quite there, but almost. There were several awkward pauses in between some scenes, that kind of didn't make the scenes flow together very nicely; I can overlook it. There was a short scene where "bad language" was used. Some of the themes in the movie didn't really seem like something a kid-- whom I perceive-- the movie was meant for, would get. I'm not really sure what age group this movie is meant for. Toddlers? No. Kids? Maybe. Teens? I doubt it. Adults? Hmm... Note: I'm an adult, and I really enjoyed this movie.

I'm almost 12, but I loved this movie a lot. In the end it's kind of sa, but not sad like crying, like crying cuz it was a good ending.
