Common Sense Note
Parents should know that the movie features cruel judgments about body size and fashion. Characters are materialistic and catty (usually as comedy, though some hurtful comments are also made). Characters use mild language (s--t) and drink alcohol. Lots of mentions of high-end fashion brands. Younger kids won't be interested, since the subject matter won't mean anything to them.
Families can discuss Andy's plan to use her assistant job as a route to becoming a journalist: How does she rationalize this choice? How does Andy learn to fit into the world of high fashion by wearing the the right clothes, dieting, and becoming increasingly judgmental of others? What messages does the movie send about the importance of physical appearances?
To us it's cool that this movie will have some impact on fashion. However we applauded The Australian Designer at Melbourne Fashion Week that used Real Girls not The Typical Models for her show! Lets hope this is a trend we will see more of, enjoy the movie it's real predictable. Tell us what you think..
That's it for this week!
