    I cried so much.

    A teenage drama with good musical numbers and loveable main characters, the friendships are real and satisfying. Disney Italia at its best. It took 5 years to cross the pond, but Americans are starting to get addicted to this series and its spin-off "Penny on M.A.R.S." I highly recommend Alex & Co. if you enjoy movies like "Lemonade Mouth" or "Camp Rock".

    Unexpected

    A really unexpected movie. Lemonade Mouth and Breakfast Club vibes. Worth seeing.
