She's Too Young

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.

Now I know most people will come on here and talk smack about this movie but i personally loved it. I, being a teenager, did identify everything they were saying. and it's true in my school. I felt like Hannah..because I am pretty much a good girl like her, and I feel I am pressured or guys give me guilt into doing those kind of things. but yeah..i can never write long comments so this is all I have to say..i suggest you watch 'Shes Too Young' I was impressed.

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.

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.

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.....
