Teen Musical: The Movie

This movie reminded me what it was like to be a teenager again it is very authentic and jesus was in it too! there was music in it which was surprising and i dont like surprises they throw me into a rage but this time when it surprised me i didnt damage the drywall on my room that badly so that was nice and shoed me maybe this is a good movie for the family to watch when they dont want to be as violent as normal. i give this movie a thumb up

I think it's a great musical. I loved the acting in the film. It was definitely a fun Christian movie for all audiences. One of the better ones for sure!

Where do I begin? With the dirty lenses, wooden performances, unmixed audio, cringe-worthy script, egregious self promotion? This movie really has it all.

The entire premise of this movie rests on a cliche, and the musical aspect is severely lacking with no numbers that drive the plot.

There seemed to be vacillating on whether Marc Mouton wanted to write a stage musical, or a movie, so for the entire second act, we are watching a stage play because he could not decide.

The only redeeming quality is the earnest attempt at an honest performance by the lead.

Upon learning the film had a substantial budget for an independent film, it really goes to show that money cannot fix everything.

I rarely make a pass on films. I usually encourage watching things for yourself but this you can skip on and save some time. I do understand. The film is trying to be a proper musical but everything just falls short. A bland story we've seen plenty of times, mediocre performances (vocally and acting wise) plus the music is mixed badly, the songs don't stick and at the same time cringey. I don't understand why this film was pushed. As a fan of music and film, this hurt to watch. I usually look at the pros and cons but this just really threw me off the whole time. I even pushed myself to finish it so I could really analyze the film in a proper way. I just don't see why this mess is out there. It's all good messages and they do try to portray that but things just don't flow well. The pacing is really odd, the edits aren't pleasing. I just couldn't go on with this film in all aspects. That's my personal take but in a film aspect. Everything in this is just bad. To put it quickly. Just bad. 1/10 I do not recommend, watch something better.

On my usual scavenge for bad movies I came across this on Amazon prime. Obviously I had low expectations, the trailer looked straight out of Imovie! But somehow it couldn't even meet those low expectations. The terrible cinematography, acting and long drawn out songs left me fighting the urge to turn it off. To be honest I'm a fan of bad movies, I sat through Fred 3, Camp cool kids, 2 headed shark attack and many other terrible movies. I thought it would be just another funny bad movie, the difference between them is they were still interesting, they may have been cheesy and cringy but I still enjoyed watching them because there were some unexpected laughs. Its always fun to laugh at bad acting, terrible cgi and stupid scenes. With this movie they seemed to take everything I enjoy from a good movie and throw it out and everything from a bad movie and throw it out making it an utterly boring and a unenjoyable movie. By the last 30 minutes there were 3-4 songs lasting over 4 minutes with only 30 second breaks. We didn't even see the main characters until the final 4 minutes! It was agonizing. Before that the woman literally "died" after being in a walk in fridge for 5-6 minutes! It was embarrassing watching the whole scene fold out, with the ridiculous "voice to text" instead of calling her boyfriend and him taking SO long. I feel myself rambling on and on but I haven't even scratched the surface! There was no rehearsing for the play making it confusing because twenty minutes ago most of them "weren't it"? WHAT? It was extremely disappointing seeing how the barely used the girl who I found the best singer ( I do not remember any names but she sang with the boy in the bullying song in the red shoulder top) I thought she definitely had potential (saying that it may be because literally every other singer sucked) The long winded pool scene may have been the worst. WHAT WAS THE POINT? The story with the goth girl and her issues could've been explored more but it was really a 5 minute useless talk. Like the rest of the movie useless crap. Don't get me started on the "villain" who after "killing" the main character just disappeared? WTF?? Overall, if your like me and you enjoy bad movies, or just saw it and thought maybe I could try it. Don't. Don't waste 126 minutes of your life on this for lack of better word, utter garbage.
