Hmm. Why? And how do you plan to see that?" ;-) -- then I consider my job here at least partly done ;-). <br /><br />I'm a realist and I know teens will probably find ways of sneaking in and seeing a film like this. But I don't necessarily see the practice of at least forcing teens to do that (lie to their parents, sneak in to the show, worry all the time about getting caught) to be a bad thing. <br /><br />It gives the teen plenty of opportunity to reflect and ask "is it worth it?" <br /><br />And after a couple such adventures, it will eventually force the kid to prioritize. Is transgressing to fulfill every single desire worth the hassle? No. <br /><br />One then has to learn to prioritize and choose well. I think in the grand scheme of things this film is probably not worth enormous effort to see (unless one likes vomit and being covered with menstrual blood ...) ;-).Dennis Krizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913610930132868134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643714587047748844.post-4993387196067346402012-01-06T16:06:39.757-08:002012-01-06T16:06:39.757-08:00ouch. so....no good? :)ouch. so....no good? :)Candice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.com
