Another Cinderella Story
Another Cinderella Story is a perfect example for a movie targeted at female teens. The star of the film, Selena Gomez, is a girl's icon since the Disney Channel series, 'Wizards of Waverly Place' in 2007, which gives a boost in popularity to the film as teenage girls look up to Selena Gomez and see her as a role model to them. The movie also appeals to teen girls because it is romantic which is a genre most females tend to enjoy rather than males.It remakes the traditional fairytale of Cinderella which already gives the audience an idea of the plot which allows them to distinguish each character in the movie quite early on in the movie.
Kidulthood
Kidulthood is a very popular film for teenagers as the London based film shows the reality of the modern day streets of London. Kidulthood has different characters all of which carry different personalities and lifestyles. It shows different scenarios that some adolescents suffer such as pregnancy at an early stage or bullying at school and really shows how the characters deal with these situations in the movie. The urban film relates to alot of teenagers in society and also shows the not only the negative side towards teenagers but also the positives and creates a balance between the two and how conflict arises during their school life.
Shes The Man
She's the man is a prime example of what is not a typical teen movie. It actuallly challenges stereotypes between genders and portrays a sense of equality in both sexes. The protagonist is a girl who wants to play soccer so much that she crosses limits and transforms herslelf into a boy just so she could prove that girls are just as good as boys at playing soccer. This is a unique film because it does not show the typical stereotypes of cliques and groups, it focuses on putting a message out there to people to fight for what they want in life and eventually they will reach their goal.
