Through The Eyes Of A Pre-Teen

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 1999)

Alright, listen up. When I saw this movie, I was 12. That's right, 12 (In Canada, the film is rated AA, so you can get in with someone 14 or older). Before you start saying "that kid shouldn't have seen that movie, it's too offensive" or something like that, let me continue. I am a huge fan of the show, so I went to see the movie on the second day after its release. I was expecting a very offensive movie, from what the press had said. And they were right. However, it's not like I was spewing profanities after seeing it, go badmouthing other religions and races. By all means, parents, don't take your 7-year olds, but responsible viewers can get younger than you might think. Now, on with the review. This movie was brilliant. As a Canadian, this movie did not offend me at all; it's not supposed to be taken seriously. The musical numbers were classics (I bought the soundtrack right after seeing the movie) and there were actually some awesome effects in there. But above all, there is the moral of the movie. Someone else posted this comment up, and he/she said it best: "There are no bad words. Only bad people and bad intentions"
