a few shocking things for a disney movie
so because this is a disney movie, starring disney stars, most notably ashley tisdale, you would figure this film to be quite kid/tween-friendly.
For the most part it is, however i was shocked to hear a few things in the film considering the innocence you would assume.
first of all, a couple of boys were referring to the character of mandie as a 'hump and dump' and a 'hit and run.' also, mentioning her nice 'boobsicles.'
also, when mandie is talking to drew about lisa and her piercing scream, it was obvious drew meant it in a way that did not portray fear, but hinting a reason for his knowledge somewhat sexual.
so next mandie's friends discuss the possibility that drew only likes mandie temporarily, as he is using her to continue a ritual discussed as 'deflower in the shower, in the tower.'
when the girls venture to the mall they have an encounter with a man named bruce working in a furniture shop. once they are done in the store, they run out laughing leaving bruce calling 'hey, whatever you girls are on, can i have some?' i do believe his comment to imply drug use.(although in regards to drug use, we can most likely infer the girls were NOT on anything, it was just the comment that was surprising)
and, a minor detail, yet still shocking: mandie's dad finds his nephew watching some sort of 'girls gone wild' tape in the bedroom.
