Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
jenibabe25 oh my lord. i absolutely adore this movie. it was most excellent. charlie boyle is a beast. when i first saw it with my grand daughter i was obsessed. i mean it was so well written and the plot line was great. much better than a lot of Disney movies I've seen, with the exception of zenon girl of the 21st century. and brink. and johnny tsunami. i would recommend this movie for anyone who is even considering to watch it. it is a happy tale about a boy struggling to become a man at college at the age of 14. he learns that being cool is not the most important thing. charlies other "person" named chaz is way hott with the exception of his hair and can skeletons dance. two thumbs wayyyy up!
Christopher Hewitt This movie is about a 13 year old kid who is extremely smart. He is going off to college five years early, and has gotten letters from all of the main colleges. He goes off to one he favors and does not have so good of a time. I guess the movie is overall entertaining in all of the main scenes and sequencing in putting it together. The movie has a lot of people in it, which I am always going on and on about in other reviews. Because a movie with a lot of people in it is one that can be enjoyed by all different types of people because they can relate to the character in the movie because there are profuseness amounts of people that are of anomalous personalities and styles. I like the basic structure of the movie, how it flows, the ending and how the characters act. I know that sometimes actors and actresses may have to do actions on television that they may not really want to do, and that could be one of the things that happened in this movie. There were a few spots that seemed like they would never happen, not that it was impossible, just that no one would ever do that particular scene. The college students in the film are really sarcastic and do well doing so. The thing that I like about this movie is how there is a lot of sneaking around going on. How the main character does something drastic to improve how he would be thought of by his students and his peers. This movie deals a lot with how people are thought of by others. About fitting in with the people that you want to be with, and not with the people that you have to be with. I liked how all of the actors and actresses acted, with an understanding of their character and knowing how to act like someone of who they are not. I cannot think of anyone who did not do their optimum level of acting that was expected by the viewers, meaning that all of the people in the film did okay, or above okay. This is not a kind of typical film with everything so perfect it is just dull to watch, this movie possesses a sense of knowing what the plot is centered on. The writer of this movie obviously knew about what he was writing about, and not just guessing how the lives of teens and young adults act. There is some doubt in this movie. Not the predictable type, but the type where you actually don't know what will happen, unless something like a miracle appears. Furthermore, being that this is a Disney Channel Original movie, and not having spent a whole lot of time on it, I give this movie an 8.5 out of 10. The reason is because the movie could have been better in some ways, but it also had its good points.
BHorrorWriter Alot of made for TV Disney Channel movies drip with so much sweet, over the top, ewww and gooo, you just don't want to watch them anymore. This was wasn't like that. Clever script, cleverly acted--this movie is by far one of TDC's better movies. Like Luck of the Irish, Smart House, or The Jett Jackson Movie. They are well made, well acted and aren't overly boring. Trevor MOrgan is excellent as the "genius" playing both Chaz and charlie brilliantly. He is certainly making a man for himself...big movies under his belt will only help this talented 15 year old! 8 out of 10
bigd-18 Must say it was a fab flick. Trevor Morgan was as steady as ever, combining technique and timing for a flawless performance. Other notables include Yannick Trembley as the strong chinned captain and Darryl Pring as the slightly overpowering but energy filled Bear Berczinski...what a handsome fella...
