User Review
A movie that mothers and daughters can cherish.
Rating:
My daughters (ages 10 and 12) and I love this film, we cherish this film.
We laughed, giggled, cried, hugged, and bonded. I highly advise this film
to all mothers and daughters. Some warnings. There is a brief scene where
some skinning dipping boys are chasing the girls who have stolen their
clothes. It begins with a very quick shot of an older boy's penis as he
flips into a pond (I didn't see at first, but my daughters did after
repeated viewings and use of the pause button), followed by a discussion of
male erections by the four girls. The scene is so well written and handled
that parents could actually use it to break the ice in the discussion of sex
with their children. I did. The girls then proceed to steal the boy's
clothes and are chased on their bicycles by the four boys who are seen nude
from the rear. This scene is played so innocently and cute that a parent
need not worry about it, though I have noticed my girls rewinding that
scene. A parent should not worry about their children viewing this film,
however, the parent should watch it with their children.
