I was surprised that this movie was as good as it was. It doesn't have the gloss and production of a typical tween movie but the story line was decent. I especially like that it portrayed girls working together, using their brains, and moving past personality differences. The characters were all dressed modestly but cute which was refreshing. I thought the actresses did a good job of creating their characters, giving them a little depth and back story. However the story as a whole was very predictable. I am so tired of shows that depict the drama between girls at this age picking each other apart. This movie showed the girls something positive, a different reality that is possible even if it's not popular. These issues go back forever but we can keep trying to overcome them and I think this is a movie that helps our girls see positive ways to interact with difficult people or work through trying situations. All in all, it wasn't horrible to sit through though honestly I was reading or on the laptop but still, happy to be a presence when they would ask a question or make a comment. It's a mom & daughter movie for sure, good for a sleep over.
