I watched this movie with my family because my daughter is a big Victoria Justice fan. I thought I was going to have suffer through another mediocre high school themed movie but was pleasantly surprised. My 18 year old son and my husband were both emotional at the end. It teaches some really good life lessons and I highly recommend for kids 13 years of age and older. Having lived in NYC at different times in my life, it was wonderful to see the familiar landmarks throughout the film. Both my teenagers loved the movie and as I mentioned my husband was moved as well. I think this movie is a great conversation starter with teen aged kids!
