I liked this movie a lot as a kid because it is all about kids being proactive in pursuing their own goals and happiness. There is drama, conflict, social pressure, and family pressure, set to an overarching backdrop of friendship. One of the primary motifs pertains to Christi's relationship with her estranged father, and I think this helps a lot of kids today deal with the very sensitive and often silenced topic. It certainly helped me growing up. I would recommend this to anyone trying to introduce kids to the Baby Sitters Club stories, or to parents helping their kids cope with estranged parents/divorce/etc....boys or girls alike, but particularly girls!
