Despite its cheesiness...
This movie did teach a decent amount of good lessons to me as a kid. Don't fit into the mould you're being forced into, get to like people for who they are and not their social status, the time we have as kids doesn't last forever so cherish it....
I don't know, as awful as they are, I'm glad I was the obsessive ten year old I was over these movies.
For all their cheesiness, I think they still sent out the message they wanted to.
