Feel the Beat

I expected this to be goofy and probably subpar but at least entertaining. It actually ended up being much better than I expected with fun storylines that kept me enthralled.

As a movie, it was splendidly fun and often took itself seriously one moment only to play around the next, keeping the pace and story alive and fun the whole way through. Sofia Carson also got to flex her intense skill in dance after years in The Descendants while also giving some serious proof that she's a great actress.

This is absolutely worth the watch.

It's hard to find a feel good film these days. And as a father of three young daughters I appreciate this film. It was fun, clean and beautiful!

The movie gives out a very strong message please do watch it absolutely entertaining and amazing

This is defintly Sofia Carson at her best. Her character in this movie is so unlikable and mean, borderline the villain in fact, which is a nice change from the teeny bopper DIsney Channel characters she usually plays. I would actually like to see a movie where she is 100% villain. I know she was Sandman's daughter in that Spider-Man episode, but I want a full movie where she's like a full psycho evil classic villain.

Ok, so plot-wise, this is pretty much beat for beat (no pun intended) School of Rock, but with dance instead of rock band, but not nearly as funny. It's predictable, yes, but still enjoyable. it feels very 90s in some parts, but I think that was kind of the point. The young kids in this film also give very believable performances. I thought this was a fun movie. Netflix lied about the rating, though. They have it listed as TV-G, but it is definitely a PG-13. Mild language, some suggestive content, some...teenage situations, let's say. It's about the same level as School of Rock (which is also PG-13) in terms of content. I hope Sofia gets more roles that show her range. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, cast her as a villain. (Evie from Descendants doesn't count. She wasn't actually a villain, she was just vain.) Grade: B 8/10 4/5 stars

Is this a bad movie? No I don't think so. Would I ever want to watch it again? Same answer.

It is really really family friendly stuff. Like the whole family can sit down on a Sunday night and watch this. Or like you can stick it on to keep the kids happy during Quarantine or the summer holidays.

Did I find anything in this movie remotely funny? No but I'm not a 9 year old so maybe they would. I sometimes struggle to tell if a younger audience would find stuff funny. When I was a kid would I have found this movie funny, no probably not.

So it's easy watching and like "feel good" I guess. So you could stick it on your children and maybe watch it with them unless you have something better to do.
