ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
SnoopyStyle Harriet Welsch the spy (Jennifer Stone) ridicules their chef but loves her nanny Golly (Kristin Booth). She is competing with her nemesis Marion Hawthorne for the official class blog. Marion's simplistic blogs are outshining Harriet's tales of spying on unimportant people. Meanwhile her father is the new producer of the new Spy Teen 2 movie and teen heartthrob Skander. She hates the superficial ridiculous movies but she starts using Skander for her blog. The popularity of Skander rubs off on her blog. When she sees Skander throwing a fit on set, her blog climbs and so does trouble for her father. She goes into full spy mode on Skander and even pretends to be his friend much to Marion's chagrin. Skander is paranoid about being stalked. Harriet is also spying on Golly.The production value is pretty bad. The Toronto for NYC is done very poorly. The acting is OK but it's nothing to write home about. Jennifer Stone has a good amount of pep, but the acting from the other kids fall off pretty quickly. If the movie looks poor, the movie within the movie looks even worst. It's a poor effort even for a Disney TV movie. There are too many annoying characters in silly situations that look ridiculous.
soccersmith08 This movie is about a rich girl who wants everything in her life. She isn't popular but wants to become the class blogger. In turn she spy's on teen heartthrob that she claims to hate , which she is capable of doing because her dad is producing his new movie. While all this is happening she finds time to complain that her nanny has a life outside of hers and that her parents don't know who. She ends up getting in trouble and realizing she ruined this teen's and her dad's career, but by some miracle everything works out in the end and she gets everything she wants. The class blog, Nanny's friendship, her friends back, and of course the evil girl loses. HORRIBLE!!!!
rgcustomer Suffice it to say that the usual Canadian suspects funded this thing directly and indirectly, and got the usual result, a pile of trash. I feel worst for the young actors who now have this indelible stain on their records. It's probably not their fault.My only further comments are about the absolutely ridiculous ending. I didn't like the movie before the ending, but I dropped my rating from a 6 to a 5 based on the ending.1. Teacher accuses student of violating the "privacy" of the school blog. If anyone actually believes you can put something on the internet and keep it "private", they aren't too bright.2. Teacher cancels blog, and is overruled by ... students? No teacher with that weak a spine would still be around at her age. Class is not a democracy.3. Teacher says nothing about the real violation of privacy, the actual illegal breaking, entering, trespass, and theft carried out by her student Harriet.4. The liar Harriet is rewarded, by good luck, and still doesn't come clean about it.
bkoganbing The Magic Kingdom always tries to give their young teen players a chance at the spotlight. In the case of Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars the chance comes to Jennifer Stone best known as being the Bohemian sidekick of Selena Gomez in Wizards Of Waverly Place.Jennifer and an all Canadian supporting cast filmed this item in Toronto and Hamilton and the film is about two competing teens for the chance to become the class blogger. Jennifer's a bright and intelligent young lady and her dad Doug Murray is a film producer and she writes well. But her rival Vanessa Morgan is the future prom queen with the popularity to match. Guess who's got the advantage?But Jennifer's not without resources, her dad happens to be producing a film starring the current teen heartthrob Wesley Morgan. Nothing sells a blog like celebrity dirt and for young teenage girls, dirt on an idol is catnip to the feline.Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars will never rate high among the Disney made for television projects, but Jennifer Stone and the cast perform well enough and the predictable story is easy to take. I've the feeling though that Ms. Stone is capable of better.
