ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

samara-gale Who would have thought that statutory rape would be so casually accepted? A sexual predator who is so o oo o o handsome that dumb 16 year old Daphne cannot resist him and is just compelled to offer her body up to him Does this much older man (and boss) not realize that this is statutory rape? Come on. He is her boss; he knows her age. And this is glossed over like it is no big deal. Wow. I hope this is not considered a family show because when a 16 year old is shown looking at her birth control pills in preparation for sex with a much older man it destroys all credibility I thought, up to this point, that Daphne's character was intelligent, well adjusted and had lots of common sense due to her ever so righteous mother. The writers must have concluded that she was coming across as just too decent and had to join the ranks of promiscuous American teens. This was the end for me.

bearwise2010 there are not a lot of family shows that we enjoy watching, but Switched at Birth was one of those shows we looked forward to watching. We can't believe its over. How does Carlton do? There was so much more they could have accomplished in this series. Sad to see it go away. We love it, would love to see it come back.

chubbydave If you're tired of the same old same old unbearable sitcoms with jokes that were outdated in the 90s with not so subtle sexual humor, then this is for you. I don't remember any show that had a major deaf character, but in this show about half the characters are deaf, and a lot of the dialogue is in sign language. It's a gutsy move to do this, but they pull it off beautifully.Another thing about the show is that the actors are all like able. The actress who played the lovable Angie Lopez. Another actor with sentimental pull at least for me is Vanessa Marano who played Luke's long lost daughter on The Gilmore Girls. And then there's 80s/90s teen young adult star Lea Thompson. Relative unknown Katie Leclerc has adorable freckles and plays one of the deaf characters.One thing that they kind of overdo... kind of? No, they overdo this to the hilt, and that's how easily the characters are offended by the slightest little noting. Every show, in fact, almost every scene involves one of the characters being offended at something someone else said and then storming out. Then they spend the next half dozen scenes pouting. It's a little past too much, guys.But other than that it's a great show. A young actor Sean Berry plays a very cool and very wise for his age best friend to one girl and boyfriend to another. He's just really cool.

madisonlavenderfloyd Though I am a teenager, rarely do I ever watch ABC Family's or "Freeforms" cheesy, teenage romance, drama. Trying to figure out what was so great about Pretty Little Liars or The Secret Life of an American Teenager, I disregarded the show for quite a while. I didn't really find anything wholesome about either show and found them to both be completely annoying. I couldn't even get past the first episode of Pretty Little Liars. I gave The Secret Life of an American Teenager some time but still couldn't find out what was so great about the show. A friend recommended the show to me. But, she also was the main person who pushed me to watch PLL's and TSLOAT, so, of course, I was a little skeptical. I was even more skeptical when I'd found out that the show was on ABC family. I watched the first episode of Switched At Birth and immediately fell in love. Every episode is of course filled with family drama, but they all overcome it in the end. The show proves that two people from completely different backgrounds and families can come together as one. The show is amazingly and beautifully written. One of the stars of the show is deaf, which definitely adds a different twist to the show and it's not just her there are plenty of deaf people who star on the show. The show has taught me much as a person. I've even taken up learning sign language and can confidently say that I know the full alphabet. I've also fallen in love with art, just like Bay loves her art in the show. The show is completely wholesome and has a wonderful message in each episode. I would definitely recommend this show to teenagers who love a little drama but want something different and wholesome.
