She's Too Young

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.....

I am watching this movie right now, on the night that it premiered. I believe this movie deals with real issues that need to be handled. I am a Teen myself, and I know it all happens. While all of this happens, I am not so sure as to the extent that it happens. In the film, Hannah does things with an older guy, which results in her getting a sexually transmitted Disease. (STD) The entire community of Teens ends up with it because it's just some game to the males, and the females think they wont be able to get a date unless they do it. While I don't know why the 14 year old girls need to have dates, I do know they need a security, and obviously aren't getting it anywhere else. The nice guys in the film are called gay. This all seems unreal, as if it doesn't happen in real life, but it does, and I don't want to sound like a preacher, but I felt it might help to say what I think on the film, and I think it was a good, if not excellent way to try showing parents what goes on in most high schools, even though everything seems normal. At the end of the film, the main character, Hannah, comes on screen and says 1 in 5 girls have sex before they turn 15, and 35% of all females experience pregnancy before the tender age of 20. This is an excellent film if you want to be prepared to know what happens to your family members or friends that are in high school, and while it doesn't happen to everyone, it does happen, so being prepared for it can never hurt.

I'm watching this right now, and it's a laugh a minute!

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.

I have a soft spot for crappy Lifetime movies so I saw the commercial for this and decided to watch it. Plus, it had Emma from Degrassi so I thought, man, how bad could it be? Little did I know it would be AWFUL.

As an 18 year old female who is just about to finish highschool and go off to college, I feel that I do have enough backround to critique this. It was completely unrealistic. Yea, highschool kids are having sex and being INCREDIBLY unsafe about it, which is incredibly alarming and disturbing. Kids are contracting STDs and HIV like colds now adays. Older guys are sleeping with freshman and spreading diseases.There is definatly pressure to have sex. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THIS. There are no sex parties. Teenagers aren't stealing porn from video stores like they show in the movie, then taking them home and having orgies with there freinds while watching it! Sex is definatly happening at parties, but it's not like this AT ALL.

This movie dramatisized the issue of teen sex like nothing I have ever seen before. Of course there are outbreaks of STDs in highschools, but they are not handled like this. And in all honesty, it is very rare that you find a nerdy band girl whose friends with the school sluts in actual highschool settings. Its sad, but totally true. Marcia Gay Harden was the only good actress in this entire film. The woman who portrayed the aid from Health Services was awful. The two permiscuous girls were terrible. And the actor who played Nick was AWFUL! Plus, he wasn't even that good looking. BAD BAD CASTING. Yea, this is a serious issue, but this was soooooooooooo overly dramatisized that it's almost funny.
