Do I really need to tell you what I think.
*points at self*
Old fashioned. Remember?
Seriously... Based on what I have seen about the movie, what good reason is there for letting your young impressionable girls watch such a movie? What effect might it have on their perception towards such things? I think those are the questions you should ask yourself before making your decision either way.
Personally, I don't want to see the movie (for the reasons indicated above). So I certainly would not let my girls see it.

Cats have you seen the movie already?
Why I ask is my 13 year old niece watched it with her mom but it was used as a tool to talk to her since "all her friends" had seen it. It opened the door for my sister to have a rather open and frank conversation with her daughter about teen pregnancy.
Would I let my 13 year old (if I had one)? Depending on how mature she is and how open I want to be in discussing the issue.

I have seen it and would NOT let my 13 year old watch it. It was presented as a "use protection" lesson and not "total abstinence." It was without my approval. I am very very angry about it.

I saw it on a flight; the GOOD side was that it steamed the abortion-promoters that she kept the baby and didn't abort.
Other than that? Not 13-year-old material.
If the school showed it, I would be in the Administration Office before the Principal opened Monday.
If the church youth group showed it, I'd be butting heads with the Senior Pastor, Youth Pastor, Board, and anybody else in earshot.
If a relative showed it, there would be a major-league family feud about to begin.

From this point forward my child would not be allowed to go anywhere permission wasn't asked first...And my 13 year old daughter would be told to never watch a movie anywhere that she didn't call and ask about...I 'd be MAD as fire over any youth gathering with this type of movie without the parents knowing about it....And I would privately voice it with the person responsibile!!!

Well...while I agree that they did the right thing about keeping the baby...there are many reasons a 13 year should not watch it...the main problem is the sexual content...
My 13 year old boy is home-schooled and we are "very" picky about what he watches...When we talk about sex, drugs, and other problems...it's on my terms that are based on our beliefs!!
