Why don't they make more teen movies like this?!!!!

The movie wasn't exciting nor enormously witty....but I liked it,I liked it a lot!The story is basically about two girls,who are intense rivals and their mums well they were intense rivals too,as a matter of fact they still are.Coming from two different worlds when they have to switch homes and thus families as a school punishment the fun begins!Sid Caeser was great and so was Schellhardt,the chemistry between her and Kavovit was just perfect.No complicated plot twists or unexpected endings,but if you are looking for a nice enjoyable teen movie sans violence or swearing pick this one!!
