Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars

Do not waste your time or money with this Movie, this movie is the most annoying one I have ever seen!

Worst writing I've ever seen. Terrible protagonist. Bizzare plot paths. Some actors tried. But had no chance with that script.

I hate to be the person to go on online rants, but I feel its necessary. As a kiddo, I was obsessed with the original version of this movie. There was so much quality character development, and as a watcher, beautiful relationships were formed through the screen. The cast was amazing, and the acting was incredible. This remake is very very disappointing and a waste of time. Poor character development, and none of the original cast that we know and love. I wanted to love this, but I just couldn't. I will stick to the inspirational story line, and enjoy a movie that always brings me back to my childhood.

The Magic Kingdom always tries to give their young teen players a chance at the spotlight. In the case of Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars the chance comes to Jennifer Stone best known as being the Bohemian sidekick of Selena Gomez in Wizards Of Waverly Place.

Jennifer and an all Canadian supporting cast filmed this item in Toronto and Hamilton and the film is about two competing teens for the chance to become the class blogger. Jennifer's a bright and intelligent young lady and her dad Doug Murray is a film producer and she writes well. But her rival Vanessa Morgan is the future prom queen with the popularity to match. Guess who's got the advantage?

But Jennifer's not without resources, her dad happens to be producing a film starring the current teen heartthrob Wesley Morgan. Nothing sells a blog like celebrity dirt and for young teenage girls, dirt on an idol is catnip to the feline.

Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars will never rate high among the Disney made for television projects, but Jennifer Stone and the cast perform well enough and the predictable story is easy to take. I've the feeling though that Ms. Stone is capable of better.

While I feel the original Harriet the Spy tops this remake. I do think this was an enjoyable made for television movie. Not totally cringe worthy and some good moments for Miss Stone, who I believe is one of the better teen actors today.

She keeps her performance real, and while the story is not anything new, it's entertaining and fun for teen/tween girls.

Disney seems to be lacking in new and fresh entertainment. I would like to see something original and fresh from the people who work for the mouse in the near future. Bring back some of the original Disney Channel movies that the whole family could enjoy together.

My daughters enjoyed this movie and are fans of Miss Stone, so I gave it a five out of ten on their behalf.
