Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie -- a sequel to the immensely popular The Cheetah Girls -- is more mature and much less hyper than the original. The characters have aged, and their flair for drama has taken a backseat to introspective decision making and goal setting, making them more realistic (and positive) role models. The girls face dilemmas about exploring new relationships (including a boy/girl one) without hurting existing friendships and striving for their own dreams while still contributing to a team effort. Parents play an integral role in guiding the girls over the bumpy road of adolescence.

Sexual Content

A few mild kissing scenes and some flirtatious exchanges.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Occasional uses of "Oh, my God," but nothing stronger.

Social Behavior

The girls are good role models who cherish their racial diversity, value education, promote independence, and make thoughtful decisions. Their friendship is based on honesty and mutual respect. Parents have close relationships with their daughters and help them through emotionally difficult times.

Consumerism

Wardrobes are very trendy, and the show's musical bent could be seen as a commercial for the accompanying soundtrack.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
