I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent film brilliant in fact if I could give it 1000 stars I would because it's that good. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster. With wity lines like "I don't know which is more amazing, that song, or the fact that you're 'Turkey-on-Rye'".It had me dancing and singing and chanting "I'M RADIO REBEL" all the way through.I recommend everyone watch Debby Ryan's greatest role.

So, I don't know why everyone is hating on this movie. To all of you that says this is a remake of PUTV, it's still worth watching because this is more modernized. In fact, it's better for the kids of this century to watch because they'll actually understand it and relate to it. So don't be hating! The storyline, characters, actors and the message is great. In fact, the messages (note the plural) are inspiring. All kids should watch this! Radio Rebel is definitely one of the better Disney films out there and it's worth a watch. I think I said this a million times already, but WORTH A LOOK AT! I personally loved it.

Radio Rebel was a poor remake of Christian Slater's Pump Up the Volume, though definitely more in line with Disney movies. PUTV was much darker and edgier. There were unintended consequences for Christian Slater's character that left you wondering whether or not he had done the right thing. In real life, there are two sides to rebellions. The rebel is not always in the right and often hurts innocent people. But Radio Rebel is classic Disney - good for the kids with the "happy ever after ending". I know my daughter likes Debby Ryan and loves those happy endings, but when she is older I will introduce her to movies that better reflect the real world with those less happy but not entirely bad endings.

Disney's recent movies/shows haven't done the channel justice at all. Their shows have just been cheap rip-offs of other networks shows and this movie is a good example of that. If you want to watch a good show with almost the exact same plot watch The N's (now Teennick) "Radio Free Roscoe" or take a trip back to the 90s by watching the original movie to try this idea, "Pump Up The Volume". Even though I knew I'd most likely hate this movie, I still gave it a chance and watched it with an open mind. It had good messages for young kids and it wasn't completely terrible but I still didn't like it. Cheesy endings, Disney fluff, and the fact that it copies off one of my favorite movies, makes this movie awful. Sorry Disney fans but this gets a 2/10.
