We heard about the movie "To Save A Life" from our pastor who wanted us to check it out and see if it would be appropriate for our teenagers (it has a PG-13 rating that he was a little worried about). We read a lot of reviews about it online and decided we'd go for it. We invited our teenagers to it on a Saturday, and liked it so much we invited the entire church to go the following Wednesday.
I personally feel this movie is a must see for anyone who has anything to do with teenagers in any aspect of their lives. I think this will help in understanding what teens go through, the things they face every day at school, the issues they deal with, the way they think about things, and what they really want from us - it's not what you would probably think.
Aside from what we could learn from this movie, there's also the entertainment factor - this was a good movie to watch. It was engaging: I laughed, I cried, I felt the extreme emotions our teens face. It wasn't a cheesy movie and it wasn't preachy at all. Yes, there are scenes in which our characters have something to learn, but the script stays away from sounding like a Sunday morning sermon.
This is a movie I will definitely buy when it comes out on video.
