The Cheetah Girls

This movie is totally unreal and would never happen. First of all, they don't sing well enough to get a recording contract. there are millions of girls out there that can sing five times better and don't even get noticed. Also, the phrases they use ("We need another Cheetah Momma in this jiggy jungle" etc.) are not phrases that real humans use. Really. Third of all, there is such created drama. Like, the girls are mad at each other for such insignifigant things! Also, when their just all singing around in the streets, it is so unreal! This whole movie is a bunch of unrealistic clips of "actresses" singing (and that created drama I mentioned before). And there's all this talk about race. Like, when Dorinda says that she is "shrimpy and white". Like, throughout the whole film she wishes she was African American! It's like, why? Shouldn't she proud that she can sing decently and know that the outside doesn't matter? Obviously not. And another thing is how there's that girl that is all "I'm that Porterican, Latino... that's who I am!" It was so much about race. Overall, it's an ok movie to watch if you're bored (or insane). It's not good enough to try to remember when it's on so you can see it. But if you're just watching Disney and it says it's about to come on, you should watch it. It's not terrible, it's pretty fun. But very, very lame.

The Cheetah Girls was not that bad. In fact the movie was good until the dog fell into the hole. Now come on!!! They would have done better if one of the girls' younger siblings or something would have fell. It would have been more dramatic. But a damn dog!!!!!! That's the part that got me. And I couldn't understand a word of Raven's father's accent. I liked the singing and everything else.

All in all a 4* out of 10

As a child I loved this film. But as an adult; I am now noticing things in & about the characters in the film that just don't add up.. Someone or multiple someone's changed the ethnicity of one of the characters in the story from the 1st film to the 2nd.

I didnt like the plot at all. It was pulled off alright, though...the movie did have many flaws..I give it a 2/5. First thing, i dont like the plot because its about four greedy girls who want fame, each in their own way. Raven's character was just selfish throughout the whole thing..and then when you think you have the characters figured out..the other three girls go and sellout. Next, lots of acting flaws...mainly the LIP SYNCHING. It became extremely obvious when they werent actually singing..i mean, lip synching is bad enough..but they couldnt do it. Then, the 3LW girls acted alright, though they did overact a lot unnecessary facial expressions ALL THE TIME)..a common acting flaw..nothing major. Other than the plot, some amateur acting, and other mess ups (guitars not being plugged in [laughed out loud when i saw that]..piano and drum sounds coming out of nowhere during the singing scenes, clean dog in hole becomes dirty when pulled out and then one minute later hes all clean again..)...everything else is done alright. I'd recommend this to younger viewers..older viewers would probably laugh at how fake the movie is...i know i did.

NOTE: I gave the movie a 2 based on the acting and the production of the movie..not the plot..if i was to rate the plot, i would have said 0..

This is another made-for-TV film and as such is a film that is not high on intellectual output but, if you just sit down and as with Charlies Angels 1 and 2 (the ones with Cameron Diaz, Bill Murray etc.) leave your brain at the door and just enjoy the film for what it is (which is a film about four mid to late teens trying to make it big as self-choreographed (by one of the group members) singers in the music industry) then you should have no problem liking or even loving the film.

The film centres on four teenagers (the characters' ages not the actresses) but around them is the usual thoroughfare that is seen in these types of films. There was the unscrupulous record boss that wanted to change them and their style. There was the mother/manager that against her better judgement allowed her daughter and the group to almost get done by him and there was the silly ending that brought the girls back together after one was even less willing to follow the boss's ideas even more than the other three and walked away from the group. The other three eventually decided she was right and also left but by then the group was no more until the silly ending that is. Knowing and accepting that it was following the usual plot lines for this type of film meant it could be enjoyed and yes the second one was better but this one was by no means as bad as others have made it out to be. 8 out of 10 for me.
