I do really love the movie. The music is perfect and catchy. I like how it incorporated puberty. I feel like there were alot of unnecessary party's like the random boy that walked by at the lockers. No reason for him. The mother might be over bearing but there was a reason for it. I thought eventually she would stand up and have a talk with her mom. It never happend. Like at one point in the movie she tells her mom that she thinks of the most important people in the world to keep her panda in. There should have been a point where she told her mom that her friends are very important to her and that this concert was more of a bonding experience. Instead she sounded kind of like a brat. I'm a mom and I would be mad if there was a family event going on (pre-planned by the way) and my daughter was bugging me to pay $200 for a concert. Her parents seemed pretty understanding and it would not be the only concert in the world. They could have picked a different concert date and went to the next town over. Over all I feel like the movie was rushed. I love the music and the characters but it could have been so much better. I would love to watch more of this (short clips or a second one). Just less rushed and more thought on what they out into it
