Secret Society of Second Born Royals

This is classic Disney family fare taking the princess theme in a different direction. There is plenty of excitement for everyone here. In a world where cynicism rules this movie is actually a breath of fresh air.

The best way to introduce kids to the superhero films in live action is definitely this. They can atcha this and how the genre works before going into things like the MCU films and others.

What is with the accents in this movie? They are all over the place.

This movie follows what has been a very successful formula for Disney. The cast of characters are very familiar to any who have seen Disney's made-for-cable movies, and there is no depth to any of them. The cast is ethnically diverse, so that no one could possibly be offended. The story is thin and forgettable. The "big surprise" in the movie was quite predictable. In short, for most adults this is a waste of time.

However, if you know a girl somewhere between ten and sixteen years old, she might well appreciate seeing it, and perhaps boys of a similar age as well. It is empowering, as Disney movies tend to be. The message, while conveyed by so many other movies in better ways, is a good one. So if you have a child, consider it. If you are an adult fan of superhero movies, pass on this for a rerun of something you like.

I realise that I am not the target audience and with that in mind my review is a mediocre film that may appeal to a very young audience as in not older than 12 as teenagers would like myself be more discerning as to story plot and see plot holes and question them as much as any adult. A perfect example being when Sam breaks into the palace to show January and while in there Sams bff Mike walks in and he accuses Sam of replacing him in their band ( how did he just walk in? When even Sam had to use a secret code to get through the gates!)

Anyway as I said if target under 12 the plot acting etc would not be as important as they will focus on special effects for entertainment unlike older ages who would demand more of which this movie does not deliver Zero story
