Mai looks like she's nine when she's supposed to be 13? Also the mom isn't even that bad. My mom doesn't let me go to concerts without her permission (or adult supervision) or let me twerk. She's just being a good parent. I guess the message of the story is don't parent your kids? Also, as a tween, I think this movie is kind of babyish but it's not great for younger kids because it talks about periods and stuff like that.
