Make it or break it volume one
SCORE: 69
Make it or break it volume one arrived at Family Friendly Gaming the
same day as 10 things I hate about you volume one. I knew that both
would be my responsibility and decided to go with the latter first. My
thought was I would like it better. That held true all the way up till
near the end of Make it or break it volume one. In fact the first half
of this volume I was ready to fail this show. Something happened in the
last few episodes of this television show. The lies and deceit that it
started with were shattered. I began to care for the characters, and
shed a few tears in the last episode.
Expect gymnastic style of clothing in Make it or break it volume one.
This did not bother me, and I had my husband watch to verify. He did not
find anything sexual about that attire. Some of the gym moms are another
story entirely. Many of them are busting out. The show has images of
various characters kissing. Some are married to other characters, and
are in the process of a despicable affair. There is also an episode
with a church, and a pastor briefly shown.
Make it or break it volume one really shocked me with so much bad
language in the beginning. The show is trying to show how stressful life
is for these girls. There is also a real cheap view of sex in this show.
Then late in this volume a character gets a more prominent role. She is
a godly woman dating the father of one of the girls. She gives a
wonderful viewpoint that families will appreciate.
There are 430 minutes of soap opera action in Make it or break it volume
one. I checked out the prices of the DVD at various online retailers,
and you are getting a lot of minutes for your money. The two bonus
features are the deleted scenes, and Making It. I really enjoyed Making
It because it showed some great behind the scenes information.
The DVD menus function properly, and have an intelligent design. The
storylines in Make it or break it volume one are very tight. There are
also some interesting surprises near the end. I was not fond of all the
lies from various characters. I was happy to see almost every character
come clean. Make it or break it volume one shows there are consequences
for bad behaviors. I felt bad that one character choose not to cut the
corner, and wound up getting hurt anyways.
There is a lot of moral and ethical content in Make it or break it
volume one. Early on I felt this show was showing sex in a very cheap
way. Later in the volume the tone changed, and it showed the problems
with behaving that way. I labeled this show a soap opera earlier because
of how closely knitted the storylines are, and how many characters were
sleeping around. There was also deception, theft, and dramatic scenes.
Make it or break it volume one is not for children. Adults can find some
interesting insight though.
