She's Too Young

Wow, I remember highschool as an extremely dumb time in everyone's life. This movie cemented that for me. I've been removed form that particular atmosphere for about 2 years now and I already feel like I was never there. The behavior of these kids are ridiculous and you just wanna slap them. "You have to sleep with Tommy to be popular mom! Like, duh!" It's such a middle class movie, it makes me wanna puke. I'm middle class myself, but nothing bothers them til inner city problems affect them. What about inner city kids who face this problem all the time? "Oh, they're just like that. Not my Jane. She's a good kid". Yea? Janey's got syphillis. She's a GREAT kid. The premise is that a young girl is sucked into doing sexual things to gain popularity because that's the way of her school. You forget that you used to think that way in highschool. Anyway, she gets syphillis and returns to normal after her mother decided she's gonna handle things. She's learned from her mistake apparently. And of course, the sex rings at parties continues. Just makes you wanna slap kids and tell them to grow up, but you know it's the way our society has raised them. We tell them to be older by studying for SATs in 5th grade and they'll be older in other things too. I liked how they showed the little sister following the same cycle. But the issue should include everybody. Not when a middle-class mom gets p*s*e*. Still, a good movie to show the consequences of being popular.

This film is perhaps one of the most viewer friendly accurate description of teen life. There were strong performances all the way around. Alexis Dziena shines bright as the lead character in this film. This film takes an unparalleled view of teen sex but it also takes a view at teen curiosity in general. This is a very important film for not just all parents to watch but teens also, since it is about them. It is important for teens to know what is going on inside and outside of their high school. At the same time it is alarming to see how many sexually active teens there are presently today. Even though I've been out of high school for only 3 years, I know it has changed significantly since I've attended. Another good reason to view this film is for individuals to see that high school isn't as sugar-coated and "G" rated as "Saved by the Bell" and many of the teen shows from the 90's make it out to be. Teens becoming sexually active with more than one individual is real. It's time for us to start watching more movies and shows like this that alarms us of this matter.

Well, this couldn't be a great film, or it could. The thing is, it is made, although very professionally, for TV, and no everyone gets to see these TV films. I don't wanna put "TV Films" like in a category (although they are), because they sometimes can be really good, and can show reality, sometimes. I'm sorry for all the "sometimes" but it is important for the description of this very interesting project, done with a lot of work.

The movie deals with events, so, you know, when everything has come to a boiling point, don't expect anything else, because that's were the journey ends (and I'm not saying it in a bad way). The whole piece has strong and convincing performances from all the cast, and a very realistic and powerful issue to mess with. What would happen if your beloved and outstanding daughter screwed up, badly? As a parent, probably you would freak out, but think about your daughter's position. She has all the right to speak, I mean, you have trusted her for so long, and she has done everything correctly, but now...The thing is, she knows what you're going to say, and she's ready to stand against it: She has been doing everything you asked her for! The characters come as real as they could. You have all types of persons, dealing with different things, but, somehow, at some point, something is going to unite everything, to one only problem; and that could be the biggest one. I mean, you have this 14-year old girl, who says to be a "sexpert". You couldn't believe this as soon as you heard it, but it could be true; and she's not the only one. There's a main storyline, yes. But it is, in some way, the whole thing. What's going on? The camera takes you on a reality tour, to high-school parties and private reunions, stealing, drug selling (and buying, of course) and, how to forget, again, sex. This camera seems to move fast, and it's very well done, because it has many things to show. In many parts, the camera changes; colors, frames, style. It's well handled.

Performances are strong, and convincing, I said. And it was wonderful to see Marcia Gay Harden in this kind of role. She makes it so believable. She plays the kind of mother that wants to let go, but is afraid to, and is constantly worried about her child. She has that concern in her eyes, the whole time. Just watch her.

This could be defined as a double-faced world. It is reality, yes. But one face could be hell; I think I have already explained it. Hannah, the main character of the film, gets inside of this hell, and explores. She could like it. Then there's Tommy, her best friend and possible love. He loves her, and wants to keep her away from the bad things ("hell"). But he's not going to oblige her.

He's waiting...That could be heaven.

ehhh i dunno i saw the movie a few times actually and every time i see It i just don't understand it. I mean i understand what its trying to do but i don't understand how everyone is always having so much sex. I graduated high school in 2002 and went to so many parties in high school and in college and i have never seen a party or a girl or guy have so much sex in such a little amount of time all the time. In this movie every party was a sex party you had girls and guys having sex and people even watching this. hahaha i just cant get over the person who would even write this. I personally like this type of movie but this is just so un realistic and it seemed like the entire school ended up with syphilis. give me a break.. So everyone in the school was sleeping with each other?. wow it still has me baffled.....

its soo weird to see miriam mcdonald in this type of a role. she plays a 14 year old girl who gets an std and has slept w/ 15-20 guys. its far from her degrassi role but so far she has played it wonderfully. one of my problems w/ this movie is that they had a 26 year old playing a 16year old boy and it was obvious that the kid was not 16. the whole movie is about making the choice to have sex or not and the emotional and physical consequences of sexual actions. its a very important topic and if you ask me this is would probably be a good movie to show to sex education classes. even though it is set in a highschool enviroment, it doesnt just apply to those who are in highschool. this is a really good movie. i recommend it to everyone especially those who have daughters or people who are or thinking about having sex. this movie has a good message and should be shared w/ everyone. it shows that no sex is the way to stay safe but it also lets you know that if you choose to have sex make sure that your safe and know who your with.
