Top 5 Worst Movies for Girls

filed under: teen  

Forget about Miley, Britney and Paris: the real bad influence on our daughters--these five flicks

Top 5 worst movies for girls:


1) Grease

Sandy starts out a sweet, innocent virgin until the Pink Ladies teach her to dress and act like a cheap harlot. With cigarette dangling out of her mouth, sporting skin-tight leather pants, she finally wins Danny Zukow's heart and, as they fly away in their car to the strains of "We go together like rama lama lama ka ding-a da ding-de dong," one can only think that within a week Sandy's gonna get knocked up, contract a venereal disease...or both.

2) Cinderella (1950)

There is no detectable reason why Cinderella is in love with the prince--they spend almost zero screen time together. She'd make a better match for that fat little mouse, Octavius, than the dull-as-paint prince. Unless Cinderella is just looking for a meal ticket, it's sad to think a young girl with such an affinity for animals doesn't end up studying to be a veterinarian.

3) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

One of the main characters (a teen) completely throws herself at the cute boy and then has random sex on the beach. Problem. Should've been called Sisterhood of the Traveling Underage Sexploits.

4) The Little Mermaid

Ariel falls in love with a guy because she thinks he's hot. Then, he falls for her when she doesn't even have a voice! In the end, she changes herself (from a mermaid to a human) just to be with him. A beautiful, mute mermaid gallivanting around in a seashell bra might be every man's fantasy, but for little girls, it sends a fishy message.

5) Clueless

Yes, Clueless is based on the classic Jane Austin book Emma, but there are major differences. Emma wasn't an idiot and Cher well, she's got good fashion sense, but not much else. And what's up with her ending up dating her stepbrother? Creepy.

I think that this is over the top and outrageous! Mainly because one has to go above and beyond to come up with these reasons.

Movie 1 Grease. yes they do get her to change her appearance but Danny loves her and tries to change his image too. and at the end of the movie they do sing that song but it is based for the whole group getting together.

Movie 2 Cinderella. It is true that they don’t meet until the ball but I don’t know if you know this or not but Love like that does happen. It happened to me. It’s called Love at first sight…Most people don’t believe in that kind of thing. Plus it’s a fairy tale. Make Believe!

Movie 3 Sisterhood of the Traveling pants. Yes she does meet a guy and have sex with him but it’s for a deeper meaning she is messed up and didn’t have a mom as a role model…if you remember right she lost her mom when she was little.

Movie 4 the little Mermaid. Ok so you are telling me that people who are deaf who don’t know how to speak are no able to fall in love? Yes this is a fantasy that men have but there are other mermaid movies out there…not just this one.

Movie 5 Clueless. I agree that it is creepy that she ends up dating her step brother, but if you did notice they weren’t related anymore because her dad wasn’t married to his mom anymore…I think that the dad had his own issues and couldn’t hold down a marriage. So what if she didn’t have brains…she did have fashion sense and that could take her to be a designer!

Haha. Never did understand her attraction to the prince.

Danny was a pig who put on a varsity sweater for a day and will absolutely go back to being the loser he was. Would you want your own daughter with him?

Love at first sight? Ridiculous.

these movies and their underlying messages are’nt the most wholesome but in harmony w/that thought how about many of the “so-called” family shows of Disney, or even the other network shows: gossip girl, one tree hill, smallville and others that feature the whole “it’s only ok, if you reeeeeeally love him mentality” and “follow your heart” (which incidentally is horrible advice). and i do belive in LAFS but it does’nt count for much when those rose colored glasses come off-those burned know what i mean.

While I agree with most of your points, I question the inclusion of “Clueless.” Unlike the other movies, it is a teenage/adult comedy - not a family film. Cher is supposed to be a funny, frivolous character, not a role model to viewers. The movie is not intended for children too young to understand the difference, but has appeal for older viewers.

charli, i agree with you about grease, but that’s it. a lot of disney movies are bad for young girls( i personally think disney is evil). and in the little mermaid, she’s not born with a disability, she chooses to lose her voice in order to get the guy. what does that say to young girls? “don’t talk. just be pretty and things will go your way.”
as far as sisterhood of the traveling pants, just because she doesn’t have a mother doesn’t mean she should go around having random sex with someone. confusing sex for love is not something that i would want my daughter to be exposed to. she should see a therapist.
but as for clueless, cher actually was smart. her father made sure that she got good grades.

Ok! Cinderella is intended for kids and thats final, sue disney for it and promise yourself to live in jail. Cinderella’s ending was The prince married her, not she married the mouse, i think you have edited the scenes in Cinderella or you are just sick of Movie editing syndrome which is an obsession of making fun of movies, you’d rather make a youtube poop-thats where u belong!

I agree these movies aren’t good for teaching young girls the “right” lessons. Fortunately for my daughter, we choose to teach her to be a strong woman and a good person, and we don’t let movies do all the teaching for our kids.

So, if she wants to watch these Disney Princess movies, that’s fine with us…

Wow.. Whoever came up with this really needs a hobby! (and that shouldn’t be thinking too much into movies) Movies, animated or not are supposed to be entertaining in one way or another. If children are getting a ‘wrong’ message from what they watch? Then their parents should be responsible for what they watch. Making sure that it is age appropiate and that they understand what they should and should not get out of what they’re watching. Basic parenting.

I hate Disney, so I can agree with that. But do you remember that dreadful soccer movie, I think it was called “Ladybug” or something equally awful, and the plotline was that the losing girl’s team had a boy, disguised as a girl, play for them so they could win? Trumps ALL if the above, except Disney. Google “Disney and lemmings” and find out how awful Disney really is.
