Although portrayals of teens behaving in socially positive ways are rare in movies, one can be found in The Mighty, the story of an unlikely friendship between two misfits. An appreciation of song ignites a teen romance in High School Musical. (Also check out the franchise’s sequels, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3).
Actor Michael Cera also stars in Juno and Superbad. Kat Dennings can be seen in The House Bunny and Charlie Bartlett.
