Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this Disney TV movie is a positive choice for tweens, who won't be able to help picking up on its messages about appreciating things like a loving family and loyal friends. There's no iffy content to speak of, making it an age-appropriate choice for all but very young kids -- but tweens will reap the most benefit from tuning in. Abby's journey through her possible near future offers an eye-opening (if slightly exaggerated) glimpse of where selfish endeavors and misguided priorities can take a person, giving parents a prime opportunity to chat with their tweens about their own desires for their futures.

Sexual Content

One brief kiss between teens.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

No cursing, but some use of "shut up" and "I hate you."

Social Behavior

Tweens discover that superficial ambitions (cute clothes and popularity, for instance) don't bring the same happiness found in good friends and a supportive family. Communication is a strong theme, and Abby proves its power when she works out her differences with a longtime adversary.

Consumerism

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
