1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth Buying, November 22, 2007

By	Lisa Prest - See all my reviews

The product review stated that this video was appropriate for junior high and high school students, so I bought it to show to my junior high classes. I was disappointed when I watched (previewed)the video (luckily all the way through before I showed it to students). In one scene, the DJ asked the question, "What gets you in the mood?" several times and then mentioned whipped cream. Another scene about the band career included the words kick a$$ two times. Another scene mentioned the word bit#% in the background music, and another scene about the poet had a painting of a naked woman behind the person talking. Some of the careers were interesting, but didn't really give much information in the interviews, and some were just boring. I'd give the video about 1 1/2 of 4 stars.
