In general, films aimed at adolescents might contain elements of an 'imminent critique' by virtue of the suspicious nature of their audiences. Adolescents, if only for a moment, question everything that is offered them. Any successful film (or cultural product more generally) will have to speak to this suspicion in order to be successful. There is no easy appeal to a teenager, who suspects all those around her of a certain hucksterism.
