Movie Reviews of She's Too Young
Movie Review: Lifetime Should be Congratulated.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is, by far and away, the best original movie I've seen Lifetime aire on their network. It made me really think about how glad I am to have grown up in the late 70's and early 80's when being "good" was still mostly considered the norm. The kids where I live are the basic same age as the ones portrayed in this story--some even younger--and they are doing a lot of the same things as the aberrant teenagers depicted here. They also have the same cocky I-don't-have-to-listen-to-you attitude.
What's funny, however, is I recall getting smart with my own mother about the topic of sex and various other things, and I realize looking back that some things never change. Kids may think they're old enough to do the things their parents tell them not to do, but they still don't know any more than we ever did. Excellent job by our main character Alexis Dziena as a basically good but troubled teen who is battling with dangerous social norms and Marcia Gay Harden as her mother taking the bull by the horns once an epidemic of syphilis breaks out among the students. Unlike years ago, I approved of the majority of her actions and feelings, but I'm also grateful I don't have kids in this sexually charged society. There are some very disturbing pictures of untreated syphilis when Dziena's character looks them up on the net, and the topic is troublesome in a good way.
This movie should be mandatory viewing in all high schools because, as one woman in the movie said, you can preach abstinence all you want, but sooner or later most of these kids are going to play follow the leader. Hopefully, this well-done movie will make them think before they act.
