Customer Reviews

Lifetime Should be Congratulated.
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.

A LOT like Kids
I've seen a lot of movies like this (kids engage in sexual activity and theres consequences.) She's Too Young is sort of like a tv remake of Kids(1995). In Kids Tellie has sex with a lot of girls and gives most of them HIV. She's Too Young is almost identical to Kids. In She's Too Young a group of popular boys spread an STD to girls which then spread it to more boys and it eventually spread around the whole school turning into a mess and getting to the parents knowing about it and one mother despretly taking her action after her daughter gets the STD.

She's Too Young
I have seen this on Lifetime from the first time it premiered to the next couple times it came on. I only watched it because I heard Miriam McDonald from Degrassi would be playing Dawn.

I think it proves a good point to teen age girls like Becca, Hannah, and Dawn that are living in familys that seem too perfect or family's like Dawn's who have mother's that act too young and don't put up a good example. I give this movie 5 stars and I can't wait to get the DVD on March!
