Not a kids movie
I feel like the only ones praising this movie are adults who liked it. It's not a movie for kids at all. We had to shut it off not long into the movie because it was not appropriate for my 2 and 7 year old. Maybe 13 and up. But even still the disrespect to parents, lying and sneaking out of the house alone would keep me from letting my teen from watching it. Saying that those behaviors are typical amongst teens is not true and showing them they can do those things and not get in trouble is a bad example. There were zero consequences for the girls actions. Maybe her mom was too controlling at times, but that doesn't justify the behaviors of the child and the lack of consequences. - EarlGenesis - 17 December 2022
A personal favorite Pixar movie
While I don't think this film is top tier Pixar from an objective standpoint, personally it has become one of my favorites because, even as a male, I can heavily relate to it's coming-of-age themes. Puberty was awkward and things felt like they were moving more quickly than before, me and my friends always acted cringe as kids but what mattered was that we had fun doing it and never cared about what other people thought of us as long as we weren't harming anyone, and I also have an overprotective mother and had serious issues with growing up and making my own decisions. The way this movie handles all of these topics is excellent and really resonates with me on a personal level. Also the movie is hilarious and it made me laugh very often. I really love the quirkiness and fast-paced route that this film takes. I also love that it takes risks and is not afraid to get into sensitive coming-of-age topics. I wasn't expecting myself to love this film as much as I did. It's so much fun throughout its entirety and it's something that I can completely get behind.
