Simply A Masterpiece

Perfect cast and a good story

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I rented this movie to watch with my 11 year old as we were going away for the weekend and thought it would be a perfect movie night movie to watch together. It looked heartwarming, entertaining, enjoyable and easy to relate to for my Miss 11. It was the MOST depressing, worst movie we had both seen. My 11 year old who is very easy to please extremely disliked it and at the end of it she even said, "I think that was the worst movie I've ever seen, Mum!" The acting was terrible, the story-line was depressing. Its basically a movie about four 11 year olds and all their problems in their lives. It doesn't even have any life lessons. Pity I hadn't taken another DVD on holiday with me as a back-up!

It's the summer before middle school for Vanessa, Lizzie, Jess, and Peri-- four school friends--but that's not all they have to think about. Each girl faces her own challenge to tackle, challenges relatable to the audience, perhaps. All while staying together and soaking up the summer sun.While the protagonists are 4 ten and eleven-year old girls, some of the issues that they face could be a little suggestive for younger children. Nevertheless, adults and older children will reminisce about their vacation days, and may find some traits in the girls to compare themselves to.A low-budget film, but a fine one, in my opinion.

I had the misfortune of being subjected to this ...'film' at a house today, while I was working. I love Tim Daly and Valerie Mahaffey, but...this was just plain awful. Acting was terrible, directing, characters...there was nothing good about this movie...Thankfully I left after an hour of working in the house, so don't know what happened with the big audition, or other completely contrived situations or characters...I was horrified that preteens and teens were watching this and thought it was good! My daughter would have turned it off in about 4 seconds or watched it only to make fun of it...awful!! Okay, you need ten lines of text...how many more times can I write awful??

I just tried to watch this with my six year old...NO WAY. The content is way to mature and heavy for a child. I enjoyed it alone as a forty year old but no way will I let my child watch this movie at her age. Life should be fun and happy and carefree...the do not need to even worry about these adult situations so young.....what happened to letting our kids be kids...they grow up fast enough.Again....GREAT movie if you are an adult...but not at all for children to have to even think about. Loved the story line and the characters are great...but not for anybody under the age of 16...way too heavy for anybody under that age to comprehend or even understand.
