Why It Rocks

 * 1) This film delightfully shows us that not all animated movies have to be G or PG to be suitable for all ages as it takes Recess to a dark level and it played out perfectly.
 * 2) The connection between Ashley Armbruster and TJ Detweiler is very smooth.
 * 3) The idea of a girl seeking help from a boy is very creative depending on how you view it.
 * 4) It has a perfect music score by Daniel Pemberton. Speaking of which, the final battle theme is Boggis, Bunce and Bean but done by another orchestra and choir and it's amazing.
 * 5) The way Ashley Spinelli is turned into a villain is well played and it thankfully did not anger viewers who watched it.
 * 6) Angelina Carballo and Jacob Tremblay do a good job as Ashley Armbruster and TJ as some of their other voice actors hit puberty and went to work on other projects.
 * 7) The scene where Ashley goes to a church and prays to God claiming that she's sorry for all the bad stuff she did during school days is very heartwarming and emotional.
 * 8) Pamela Adlon reprises her role as Ashley Spinelli and she's looking good then we thought.
 * 9) The film stays faithful to the original Recess TV show.
 * 10) There's a very emotional scene where Ashley Armbruster's little brother Tyler is found to be dead and they go to a graveyard to pay tribute to him.
 * 11) The original song in the movie, Hold On Tight is very beautiful.
 * 12) The end credits is a parody of the Monsters Vs Aliens credits.
 * 13) It has a good reason for a PG-13 rating. There are some dark scenes and a bit of swearing.
 * 14) Ashley Armbruster's parody of I Love It When It Rains by The Wiggles is charming to listen to.
 * 15) The movie shows us that you should see a friend or a therapist for help when you need it.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) If you haven't noticed already, the film has a PG-13 rating which can anger some viewers and fans of Recess.
 * 2) The yo mama joke scene could offend some people who have mothers.
 * 3) Some of the visual effects in the film haven't aged well.
 * 4) Ashley Spinelli doesn't get grounded nor punished for her actions, instead, she is taken to a detention center.
