Quints

First off, I just have to say that this movie has comedy, it has the ability to be charming, it is dramatic at some points, and it is a little sad. Kimberly J. Brown is very good at playing Jamie, as she was brilliant at playing Marnie in both of the exquisite and remarkable Halloweentown films. She possesses a very friendly format to the movie. She narrates it and tells the story with detail. It has more depth to it than most other Disney Channel Original Movies. Jamie's friends are Zoe, (Shadia Simmons) and Brad (Jake Epstein). They comfort Jamie and help her through her "quintastic" time. The parents of Jamie play their roles much better than parents in other movies I have seen. They both lead very busy and productive lives and tend to ignore Jamie. This movie had most everything I could ask for in an 80 minute time frame. If it seems worth it to see, I recommend you do. It gallantly deserves a 10 out of 10. I think because it just keeps you watching.

I thought this movie was cute. Average girl gets 5 younger brothers and sisters and her life if flipped upside down. It was a good movie and KJB was awesome as Jamie. The babies were adorable. Anyone who didn't like this movie is absolutely nuts!

I did like Kimberly J. Brown in this movie. I liked how snarky She was in the narration. She was cute and plucky.

The only thing I didn't like about her acting was the crying scene when She tears up the artwork. She barely has any tears at all on her face. I don't expect her to be Natalie Portman, but She could've tried to shed some actual tears though.

I did like for once there was no love interest. In far too many movies with girls as protagonists their whole motivation seems to be to get a guy's attention. All Jamie wants to do is succeed at something, get her parents to give her some credit, and stop putting unrealistic expectations on her.

The movie can't seem to decide if it is about the parents, the new fame the babies bring to the family, or Jamie's relatively normal teenage problems.

I'll admit I like the ending. Jamie gets a blue ribbon for her artwork and her parents show up in the last minute to be supportive. It was sweet.

It is not the worst movie ever; It wasn't the best. The script definitely could used a rewrite and be more focused.

I thought this was an adorable movie! the actors were nice accept for a couple but I am not going to say who. This movie is great every once in a while but the more and more you watch it the more annoying it gets.I give this movie a eight because it's not totally boring and it's not so dramatic it will make you cry it's right in the middle.In the beginning the main character Jamie needs space from her parents and when her mom gives birth to her babies Jamie gets what she wants but finds out she does not like it that much. Soon Jamie finds a hobby that she likes and is disappointed when her parents choose something else over her accomplishments but in the end everything turns out just fine and everyone ends up happy. Anyway if you want a sweet friendly entertaining movie to pass the time on a Saturday afternoon I definitely recommend this one.

Jamie (Kimberly J. Brown) is a high school student who is enjoying her life. She's loving it so much, she's constantly talking to the audience, bragging about how great everything is, similar to the new series at the time "Malcom in the Middle". She is shocked, but still annoyingly happy, when she finds her parents (especially her mother) are pregnant, and even more a delight is to be found when they reveal it's not one baby but five, hence the title of this stupid Disney made for TV movie, "Quints". The babies become too much, so they hire a strict, short lived nanny, Fiona. Fiona is an example of a character that is extremely over the top, but still somewhat works comically, played by forgotten ex-SNL member Robin Duke. Jamie starts trying to help with the babies. The babies then become a big TV hit, and chaos ensues, though laughter and fun is what I believe the director was going for.

This movie will only appeal to young kids, which is the only audience it must be going for, so in this way it works. Kimberly J. Brown is certainly a charismatic lead, but her constant toothy smile, followed by her stereotypical "put the eyes and head down" sad face get old real fast, as do her monologues to the audience. The movie often goes for a surreal feel, including unrealistic daydreams which require good special effects, but here the special effects are terrible. The entire movie shouts out "Disney Channel Movie", which in turn in shouting out, "Mediocrity!"

This is a dumb movie, and not great for anyone, but little kids will probably enjoy it.

My rating: ** out of ****. 80 mins. G.
