OHMYGOSH! I let me 13 year old daughter rent this movie and it is the pits! If you haven’t seen it yet don’t bother! Not only is it really boring with a lame story line and so so acting but I found it to be quite offensive really.
The story is about a girl who impersonates her brother so she can get into a cool school. At first the movie seems like just another dull high-school kid movie. My daughter liked the cute boys. Of course that is her primary reason for renting any movie. OK, whatever. We ho hummed ourselves through an hour of doldrums and at the end she is found out. Her brother has to pull down his pants to prove to the cheering crowd that he is really a boy, much to his father’s proud delight. (guess he is well endowed) and she has to pull up her shirt to prove she is a girl. (much to the soccer teams delight). Oh, except for one soccer player who boldly exclaims to the plain jane who is hopelessly in love with him that he is gay and proud of it. She then reveals that she is in fact a he in drag, and they joyously and passionately kiss each other… Oh and end up at the prom together. YUCK!
Maybe I’m just an old fashioned miss goody two shoes, but I really wish Hollywood would stop shoving this kind of crap down our throats. I have nothing against gay relationships as long as it’s not pushed on me and my kids. I’m tired of the ultra liberal lifestyle being flaunted at every opportunity. I don’t want my kids to think that whatever they want, or feels good is OK because sometimes it’s not. Why isn’t that placed on the label under the parental advisory with the rating? Mature themes, some sexual content, gay and lesbian theme. Why does Hollywood assume that it’s OK with everyone or should be? Why aren’t parents in the loop anymore? Why should the movie industry be trusted with deciding what is OK for a kid to see and not the parents?????
What do you think?
