Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Monster High: Frights, Camera, Action! is a movie based on the Mattel toy line of adolescent monster dolls, books, games, and other merchandise -- as well as TV specials and a web series. Because they're high school students, some of the Monster High characters are preoccupied with celebrity crushes and have boyfriends/girlfriends. Several times, someone says a celebrity is "hot," and the couples hold hands, hug, and briefly kiss. The language is fairly mild but does include some name-calling like "stupid," "cray-cray," "loser." Parents concerned with unrealistic body issues may not appreciate the way the Monster High characters are mostly tiny-waisted waifs with perfect hair, big eyes, and noticeable makeup or super handsome jock-ish looking guys.
