Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Dr_Wesker Okay. Seriously? 3.8?I get it. The acting wasn't something to give an award for. Perhaps it's cheesy and you think that only 6 yr old girls will like it and the music. Nope. I'm a grown ass man and I still love this movie. My niece, who is only a year younger, also loves it. Hell, my mom doesn't mind it either. She's 53.I've seen people say "Oh, all the girls were selfish-- they wanted fame and--" etc blah blah. Since when is it selfish to pursue your dreams? They wanted to get their music out there. And Galleria was selfish for not wanting to bend to Jackal's will? She didn't want the Cheetah Girls to become what someone else would want. What they didn't envision.The other girls saw the ere of it as well, after thinking about it. It came down to 'The image Jackal wanted the Cheetah Girls to be, or their family The Cheetah Girls'. In the end Galleria, torn by losing her best friends, she was the one to make the first move to try and repair their friendships.Yes. There were some errors. But guess what? It was a TV MOVIE. Not something made in Warner Brothers Studio. It was something made by Disney Channel for whoever watches their channel. It was one of the last vestiges of the old Disney channel before Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez took over with their bullshit shows. Is Cheetah Girls a teen movie as well? Yes. But it was more like Lizzie McGuire than like Hannah Montana.Was it the best movie from Disney of all time? Of course not. But it's entertaining, the music is good and in the end the girls learned their friendship was more important than bending to the will of the big company manager. They said they'd do it their own way. Is it selfish to follow your dream the way you wanted it? No.It's not something that I'd give a five star review to. But I can remember watching this and some of the 'morals' other people thought was being sent out, I didn't see. I saw the morals that your friends are more important than your fame. You should follow your dream and be happy. That you shouldn't let others tell you how your dream is to be lived.All in all, I love it for the nostalgia mostly, but also because it was a great time before Disney started shoving this bullshit called Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana down our throats. High School Musical and everything else on Disney Channel these days needs to be chucked off a bridge and they need to bring back the old shows. Put Zenon on! Some Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, or hell, just show the old Disney movies like Lion King!Anything but what we have today.I know many of you aren't going to like this review. Either way, I don't care. I had to give my opinion and I had to show my love for old Disney before they started killing it. The ratings must be horrible.
martyr_of_the_free_word I had absolutely no intention of watching this, but I found myself in the mood for something light and funny. And it wasn't horrible, you know.The Bad points: Well, lots of cheese, of course; girlie screaming and shopping for clothes, and needless drama, and the absolutely improbable ending. Movie for kids, ya know. Not too much logic and/or depth.The Good points: The music was really good. The girls CAN sing, man! Also, the movie had a few serious moments, which I cannot say for what I've seen on Disney channel today. And these were realistic teen girls, which really DO act like that and quarrel about such stuff. Ah. :) And there was some Kyle Schmid and his funny faces. A pity his character didn't have much importance other than kissing Galleria in the end. (And the song was ridiculous, to be honest.) Sooo yeah. Don't be too harsh on the movie, it is for children. And sometimes it feels good to watch something fluffy and optimistic.
waterfalluvr i thought the cheetah girls are really good singers. they looked real cute in their outfits at the end when they went to the competition, i wish i could go to Barcelona Spain. i liked how Chanel dressed at the end of the movie, i like how all the cheetah girls dressed. they dress nice in the whole entire movie. i love how they sing. the cheetah girls are really cool, i like them more than Hillary Duff. if i had enough money i would hire them to play music for me every day. my other comments are that i hope that they continue to make more movies as this was very entertaining and fun to watch. i watch the cheetah girls on cable TV every single day, i liked the spice girls a lot, but the cheetah girls are my number one favorite of all time....
webhead1731 This movie was terrible. I was expecting something average because it's Disney Channel, but what I saw, blew me away. It was so bad. I can't understand how it was so well-liked by girls or guys. The songs were trash, the acting was terrible, and that was not a story. The ending was just the worst part. The dog is stuck in a hole, and they get it out by singing? That was bad. I don't understand that. This, in my opinion, is the worst movie on TV. The second one looks no better. Don't waste your time. Bad movie.My score: 1/10
