Good movie for teens

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2006)

I enjoyed watching this movie with my four teens. I showed how teens can turn their life around no matter what type of situation that they are in. It also showed how different classes in society can come together and help one another. The inner city kids tend to get a bad wrap a lot of the time, and it was good to see some of them come out on top. It was also AWESOME to see how the music and art program in the middle of a busy town can help redirect a youth's focus. We need more schools of the arts in our cities. I wish that congress would grab a hold of this concept and stop cutting our education budget for our children. Because the children of our generation and the ones to come are the future, and by the looks of it we are going to be in trouble.
