Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
jellycatty I love disney but this was an awful film with awful acting (thank goodness they've gotten better since). it was cheesy in a bad way. i honestly don't know why i watched it all the way to the end
hannahwilh I absolutely loved this pointless, trashy waste of my time. No, I'm sorry, I can't even be sarcastic. All I can say is the best part of the movie was when a nameless character yawns at the beginning of a scene. It's not even funny that I'm not joking. The three acts had little to no correlation at all, and the storyline was so shallow and predictable that I think my brain cells started dying. Yeah, this movie was a big "yay for friendship, let's make this into a life lesson" thing, but I think it would have been much better if there was at least some substance to it. Act I- Cliché boy and dog, nothing can ever come between us except "super hot" girl who just wants to be science partners. Her evil plan to use the boy to get an A is revealed through some very loud whispers within earshot of said boy and dog, but only dog hears. Girl is rude to dog and boy doesn't notice (???). Fast forward through some uninteresting plot. End of act, science project that boy did by himself is ruined and mean girl runs away. Act II- Much "eepppp"ing. So competitive. Such friendship. Everything resolved in end. Act III- Two girls are identical twins, and yet later on revealed that actually they aren't related, they just happen to look exactly the same. And you'll never guess what they do-they switch places!!! Never saw that coming! And after a day in each others' lives, they want to switch back! But then they don't (???). At the end, the high school relationship is resolved because the boy didn't care that he was being lied to, the conceited jerk gets dumped, the uptight parents each tacos, the girl gets her forbidden puppy, and everyone suddenly appears for a dance party. If Disney-and any other corporations that appeals to the young people in society- really want to impact children, they can. But not by making these mind-numbing movies that teach "friendship is important" (not saying it isn't). How about a movie that teaches real life lessons, like how to be a decent person and treat people with respect, or how it is more important to succeed in high school than it is to have a boyfriend and be popular (with someone other than a rich, white suburban girl as the protagonist)?Or not.
thirteensixsixsix Okay, I won't lie; this movie made me chuckle a few times. But at the end of the day it was stupid, trashy nonsense and I'm not just saying that because it's a film aimed at kids. You can watch much better movies with your children. I'd even recommend "High School Musical" over this garbage.Some of the messages it sends out are bizarre. Best friends are great and all but are you really going to let friendship get in the way of a huge career opportunity? And why did the first mindless tween let his dog get in the way of a relationship? Granted, it wasn't a very healthy relationship, but who knows how many more times he's going to put his dog before actual people? And as for act three... well, I don't even have to go into that. It was a total rip-off of "The Parent Trap." This film is a cliché storm and compared to this, "Camp Rock" looks like "The Godfather." By all means, skip it.
Nissin Monde This Disney movie is actually a trilogy with three acts but the same plot. The first Act is about a popular, pretty girl who tricked a science geek, Nick to do all the work for their Science Project which they are supposed to be working together on. But It's not really about Stephanie, it's about Nick and his bestfriend, a dog. But of course, since it's a Disney movie, the act is supposed to end happily. The second act is about two best friends, Zendeya and Bella doing everything they can to win the editor job from each other, now, I can say this part is cliché because of it's ending. They remain best friends and nothing can tear them apart. The third act is a modernized version of the prince and the pauper. When Emma and Savannah, both played by the same person, first met each other they decided to switch because their life is so 'different' from each others so at the end, everyone find out and it turns out they are both comfortable with their own lives, which I'm not surprised with.So all in all, I think it's not a bad film, It's mostly cliché best friend stuffs but can be pretty entertaining.
