What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie makes some weird editorial choices, such as having one of the lead characters dress like a prostitute to get information, which lands her in jail with real prostitutes. There's brief drinking, smoking, and plenty of bad attitudes. Some profanity (s--t). There's lots of products advertised in the movie, not to mention that Hilary Duff's new perfume is handed out in a scratch-and-sniff card with the movie tickets. The sisters' father dies, and their mother abandons them to move to Europe with an Egyptian prince (although we don't see this). The sisters' maid fills in as their "mom."
- Families can talk about this movie's themes: growing up, taking responsibility, and dealing with loss. The sisters also have to learn how to ask for help, rather than expecting everything to fall in their laps. How do you handle it when your world falls apart? Also, is it more important to have "things" or family and friends who love you? What are some of the signs to look for when you're not sure someone is acting in your best interest?
