  • Overview
  • Details
This documentary gives new meaning to the phrase "girls rock" by tracking four budding artists on their respective musical journeys at an all-girls rock 'n' roll camp, where they learn how to write songs, play instruments and to just be themselves. Women rock musicians are on hand to teach the girls the practicalities of being a rock chick, lessons they take to heart while working toward their end-of-camp concert.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this empowering documentary, while not perfect, has a strong positive message about building young girls' confidence. The girls at the center of the action are shown trying to shed their feelings of disenfranchisement, and all of the adults who surround them -- particularly the women -- do their best to support them. There's little iffy language ("idiot" is about as strong as it gets) and no sexual content, drinking, or drug use. That said, the girls do talk frankly about their sad and/or dark feelings at times.

Sexual Content

Some scenes show cut-up Britney Spears figures that are scantily clad.

Violence

Lots of rebel yells, but no actual fights. Head-banging music is played loudly, with some lyrics alluding to aggression. Frank discussion of sad and dark feelings.

Language

Pretty clean, though the girls do use words like "pissed" and "idiot."

Social Behavior

Everyone, from the female rock stars who teach or have cameos to the campers themselves, supports a girl-power mission.

Consumerism

Shots of girls reading Seventeen magazine; mentions of MTV; brand names of musical instruments are clearly visible.
