    Yes the plot was slow. Yes it was predictable. But it was perfect timing for my daughter. She got braces 2 days before watching this, at age 12. It made her smile that the girl was valued for just who she was on the inside, not who she knew. Get it if you want to build some self-esteem in your youth. (not good for boys for sure)

    This is a cute movie for teenagers. It is non violent, non sexual and just a sweet movie, a great movie for the underdog.

    The acting was really bad. This one is even worse than Britney Spear's crossroads movie.

    Yes   |   No
