My wife just showed me this movie, and I just want to make sure that everyone hates Chrissy. She adds nothing to the otherwise awesome group! She's a total Debbie Downer!
Anyone have any good reasons they hate Chrissy?
--------------------------------
Hush little baby daddy's going to eat you...
"is that an earring you're wearing?"
"what?? I don't wanna get PREGnant"
"We're girls..."
Also Chrissy's dead irl so this is kind of an inappropriate topic. Love you!
Oh, so someone who has opinions and doesn't do whatever their friends do is a Debbie Downer? People who are sensible and caring and serious don't deserve to have friends?
shareUsually in films and books, when you have a group of young girls (or even boys) that are friends, at least one of them is the stereotypical "voice of reason" to ground the other more adventurous and ambitious characters somewhat from going too overboard.
Chrissy's character felt as if she definitely belonged...and if not for Chrissy's later being pregnant, the other characters have no reason to come back home. Teeny is a famous actress (probably quite independent, as she seemed to be so as a child), Samantha was a writer and blocking out most people, and Roberta was in a stable relationship and a stable career as a doctor...none of the other women really needed anything of each other at that particular moment. Chrissy on the other hand, was something of a needy personality who would want her best friends to be there at least during the last few days of her pregnancy.
You hit the nail on the head!

I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too
Thank you I am like her! And find it rude of that person to say that. And also Christina Richie character was also different. She was not interested in boys as much as her friends.
I didnt respect Chrissy until she clocked Roberta after Roberta faked her death in the lake ... after that, I respected her a lot.... Because it showed that while she was usually a sweet and gentle person, she knew when to show tough love.

There is a season Turn Turn Turn
Can't believe she's dead! That is so sad :( Chrissy was a cute and sweet character!
Also possibly the first to have a boyfriend and a real relationship.
shareYou respect someone who gets violent?? That's pretty sad. She's sensible, the only one to not behave like a jerk or idiot when they're all together (I like Roberta but even she was guilty of this at times), she respected the others' differences even if they didn't respect hers, and was always there for them. She even put up with their body shaming and constant teasing of her, which is more than I would've done. that's a pretty admirable person, especially for a 12 year old.
I respected Chrissy at every part EXCEPT that. Though I don't blame her for feeling furious- I would be too and Roberta needed to be called out for it, completely. At best a slap like you give to hysterical people would've been better than a full on punch.
Lommy: What if the wolves come?
Arya: Yield.
Totally agree with you SansaHolmes.
This is my signature.
I totally agree with you and was wondering, why she was in the group with the tree other awesome girls.
I thinks she's there because of Roberta - Chrissy as an adult is the stereotype mom, and she has those traits as a child. Roberta, not having a mom, needs a mother figure in her life, hence Chrissy, who is the prude, voice of reason, who draws the line when things get out of hand or if Roberta (or the other girls) act out.
Nah, you're full of ***. Chrissy's awesome.
Stupid post!
Speaking as someone who was a fat awkward 'sensible' tween girl when the movie came out, I was happy to have someone to relate to. Teens and tweens in films of that ilk are rarely if ever anything except slim, conventionally attractive, confident, popular and precocious. Even if they're the token 'goth' or 'outcast' or 'nerdy girl', they're still all of the above in one way or another.
Chrissy was the girl who never gets represented, who's marginalised, ignored, seen but not heard. The kind of 12-year-old girl who is still childlike, still very under her mother's influence, still quite innocent and has a lot of the world to get acquainted with. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Not all girls that age are about boys, gossip, drinking and swearing and illicit cigarettes, designer accessories and expensive phones and showing their semi-developed tatas on Instagram. Everyone matures at a different rate, and everyone deserves to have friends who respect them.
People who have it easy and sail through life always seem to resent their 'lesser' peers for daring to have friendships at all, like their very existence is an insult, like they somehow deserve to be alone for committing the crime of not being cool enough/pretty enough/thin enough/easy enough. 'Only people I perceive to be good enough deserve to be friends with me, the rest should walk around by themselves so I can pick on them more easily when they dare to walk past me'. No thanks.
This thread is a typical example of highschool never ending. Playground bullies still picking on the 'uncool' harmless introverts whilst worshipping their brash rude spoiled peers. Sadly it's something that continues on well past schooling into the workplace and society at large, I see it every day.
Chrissy was kind, compassionate, caring, generous, considerate, funny, hospitable, a good friend, daughter, wife and mother, and as others here have said, she tolerated some pretty barbed ribbing from her friends that not many would put up with. The world could use more people like her.
The mirror... it's broken.
Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel.
That was great to read! You're so right. I was actually the skinny one in my group (and actually got teased for it as Chrissy did) but still find her very relatable, and far more likable than the others, Sam and Teeny especially whom came off as bratty troublemakers.
Is he gonna borrow a cup o' sugar from Satan?
Ummm the other girls were just as bad if not worst. They body shamed her, made fun of her and one even pretended to drown.
Yeah great friends! Chrissy is my fav.
I can’t believe Ashleigh Aston Moore has been gone for 12 years.

Another Victim: In the past, I have written a few times about my friendship with this former A- list mostly movie actress. This is not really about her, but someone very close to her. My friend has so many personal demons it is tough to keep track of them on a daily basis. One of those demons is this person close to her. I believe he is responsible for the death of someone else I knew who was trying to get her head right when he screwed her over for the second time. My friend and this actress were filming a movie back in the day when the person close to my friend raped this actress when she was an early teen. He repeatedly raped her for a month, almost every day and forced her to do more and more degrading things and used his power to threaten her with getting her kicked off the movie and also threatened that he would spread rumors about her unless she gave into his demands. That was just about the end of her acting career. Oh, sure, she tried for a couple years more, but she was a shell of a human. About a decade later there was a reunion of the people on the movie and she did show up for an interview. The person close to my friend was there too and this time he not only raped the actress again, but also threatened to kill her. He also injected her with heroin before raping her even though she told him she was trying to get clean. In fact, she had been clean for almost a year after staying in rehab for six months. He tied her to the bed and shot her up. He then raped her for 12 hours straight. She then never could stop using in an effort to rid herself of the demons he caused and ended up dying at a very young age.
