I was a youth pastor in that area during my early years in youth ministry, and time does pass slower there than it does in other places. Meaning, the Breakfast Club stereotypes really is a good example of how cliques (vs clusters) are the operating style of grouping.

erin – i would totally see it with older teenagers. it does have a lot of language; but it’s their real world. i probably wouldn’t take a teenager 14 or under to see it, unless you see it first.

i can’t wait to see this (somehow) and then do a comparison between nz kids and american teens. so much of our culture is influenced by the same things – it would be interesting to reflect on different and same.

I’m in! You already have me excited about this movie. I am hoping that it comes out in a theater in Grand Rapids, MI because I think this movie would be well worth seeing. Hopefully we can get the word out, because it really looks like this would be a valuable learning opportunity.

I’m in a funny spot, because I grew up in Warsaw, and I know some of these kids’ families. It was really gutsy for them to be as open as they are. I agree with the person before, maybe there’s a way you can show it at NYWC, or be able to sell it. Sounds like a long shot, but it might be worth it. It’s going to open in our hometown, so hopefully I’ll be able to see it.
It’s kind of strange, because it’s the same town that did “two weeks back”, which made it on the news as well (www.twoweeksback.com)
I’m really looking forward to seeing it.
