AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
morganstephens512 This film wasn't so bad as much as just so strange to the point where I literally had no idea what was going on within the movie itself. I mean for Disney Original movies, this is not the worst I have ever seen. Which means that it's not the worst movie I ever seen in general, but it was still bad enough as whole. But I will talk more about the actual stuff in the film instead of general thoughts. What I did like was that this film felt very much like what could have been one of the first been the first LGBT Disney Channel Original Movie. While I don't really know or think that this was actually what they were going for, it had felt very much like the two leading females were actually a female couple the whole time and that they were in a relationship. That was at least the vibe I had gotten from it. If this was the case, it was a decent step forward for them. What was bad about it was pretty much everything else. The plot had literally made no sense at all, and that there was no real connection in ninety five percent of it. The film felt way too long for what it was supposed to be for its own good. The film was super boring as well. Don't forget the really long climax that could have ended twenty minutes earlier or the really forced in music guy from every Disney film at the time and you got the complete list to just one of these bad movies. Honestly though, despite this being a bad film that I wouldn't really suggest to people at all, I could actually watch it once or twice without feeling like I wasted too much time of my life. It's not good, but it could be worse. There are many films that I would rather watch than this and the same could be said on the other way around. I will give it a three out of ten and let it stay there.
SnoopyStyle Brittany Aarons (Danielle Panabaker) is a squealing teenage girl living in the suburbs. She is in love with pop star Jordan Cahill (Taran Killam). Natasha Kwon-Schwartz (Brenda Song) is a new girl in school after a couple of years in Europe. Brittany is quickly attracted to Natasha's worldly life as she hides her Jordan Cahill love. Brittany accidentally switch phones with Jordan when Eddie (Ryan Belleville) drops the phone during Jordan's video shoot. The girls start to have a bit of fun with Jordan's phone.There is some attempts at making fun of the unanimity and the lack of originality in the suburbs. There are good barbs that are wasted on this teen girl movie that is practicing exactly that. There is little originality or any interesting characters. Brenda Song is playing the cooler edgier girl which kind of says it all. She and Panabaker are fine as teen girls. Taran Killam is not a pop star and doesn't have that vibe. He's probably the biggest problem ... other than the constant squealing.
Z Johnson ...if only Disney had stayed away from it. See, I think that this movie has some potential. Well, the main character's situation does, at least. Take out the whole Jordan Cahill thing, and you've got the beginnings of a decent movie! Of course, you also lose more than half of the film, but, oh well. Not that much of a loss.So, here it goes: you take a typical, preppy, suburban teenage girl (Danielle Panabaker, who's actually a decent actress) whose best friends screech a lot, mostly over a "pop sensation" (I'm assuming it's a direct quote from the movie; movie's like this almost always involve that particular phrase) named Jordan Cahill. Except, of course, TPSTG wants more out of life. Enter Brenda Song's character, a sophisticated individual who is just what TPSTG needs (honestly, I don't care what the character's real name is, I like the acronym better). The two new friends go to see Jordan Cahill (one to drool, one to make fun of the droolers), and they come out of it with his cell phone. Hijinks ensue, and everything turns out alright in the end.If only Disney, or any major film studio for that matter, didn't have such a low opinion of 8 to 14 year olds. Or maybe if 8 to 14 year olds expected a little more out of the movies targeted at them. It's sugar-coated crap like this that make me more than a little unsure who to be more disgusted with (a little film called 'High School Musical' comes to mind...)
unconditonal_love i found the film a bit predictable and boring but i am 14.i was really annoyed with my little cousin as she was very hyper that day so i saw a film on the Disney channel and put it on and told her to watch it.she is 6 and she loved the film, some bits she didn't get like the ending but i didn't get that either y was Eddie the star of the video shoot i thought it was Jordan's video?! but she did enjoy it. i noticed the mistakes such as at the end Jordan was not actually playing the guitar, but she never. it is definitely a film for if you are seriously bored or 10 and under.it calmed my cousin down well.although all she did was sing for the rest of the day then.
