casts a bad light on blended families, Dec 9 2006

My 5 year old adores Polly Pocket so of course this was a must have for us. I was pretty disgusted to watch and see that an evil stepmother to be plays a key role in the plot. Aren't blended families hard enough without reinforcing this stereotype in another movie? I'm not sure how the drama with Polly's dad getting remarried made the movie better and in fact really made my daughter question what would happen if her father got a "new wife."
The rest of the movie is fun and has lots of shopping, sugary sweet pop music and all the other girly stuff...just be aware of the weird dark cloud hanging over the plot ~ we could have done without the drama and seeing my daughter worry about a stepmother was a little uncomfortable - too much for a 5 year old.

Not recommended for the younger crowd, Dec 25 2006

Although this movie is not bad, I think they missed with their target market. This movie would be appropriate for the 9+ market. It has been my observation that the biggest Polly fans are in the 4-7 age range.
My daughter (almost 5) LOVES Polly Pockets, so this was a must have for her. After watching it with her today, I wish I had read more reviews before purchasing it.
The plot of the movie centers around Polly's father's fiancee wanting to get Polly off to boarding school so the fiancee can have the dad all to herself. The second theme is the competition between the good Polly and the bad Beth.
The subject is just above the comprehension of most young kids.

I really like this movie and the storyline is great! It's about this 12-year-old girl named Polly, who she and her friends realize that their class has been chosen to be in their favorite reality TV show, "Roll Like That"! Team Pocket is against Team Beth, a snobby girl who is planning to win all the competitions and tries to become more popular than Polly! So you better buy/rent this amazing movie for your kids who like Polly Pocket!
