Featured reviews
I really enjoyed sitting down and watching this movie. In my opinion the girl who played Karin did not act well. Her lines were over rehearsed and she showed no emotion. Keke palmer's acting was shaky but good. Corbin's was exceptionally well and so was his father. This movie was cool fun and nice to watch. I wished it was longer. I was amazed at how many African-Americans were in the movie. I loved who narrated the movie and how they showed us who it was in the end. I recommend you all to sit on the couch and watch this family-friendly, funny, and truly meaningful movie. It teaches good values and morals and the importance of solving things peacefully.
Jump In is great! It tells an amazing story about doing what you love no matter what other people say. The acting was believable and felt genuine. The music was terrific, along with the Double Dutch performances. It surprised how well done this movie is. The only thing I wish was that I saw more connecting moments between Izzy and his family and Mary. I feel like adding in Marry and Izzy was pretty pointless and I would've been fine with them flirting but nothing else.
Overall, it's great.
I watched this movie on Monday night and let me tell you, I thought it was great! I never knew that double-dutch is taken so seriously by some people. I think that Corbin Bleu did an excellent job playing Izzy in the movie. He is such a great actor and him doing all the gymnastic moves in the beginning was great! Some people may think that the movie was taken place in the "ghetto" but there was nothing ghetto about it. It's just a movie where a young teenage boy who is a boxer, wants to give it up because it's his fathers dreams. Not his. This movie shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Don't let anyone stop you. Corbin and KeKe Palmer are great workers together. You can easily tell that they have great chemistry with one another. I believe that you guys would enjoy this movie. Only if you can understand the true meaning of double-dutch and how it's taken seriously about something. It's not just about jumping rope, but about putting your heart and soul into something you really want to do.
Out of all the Disney Channel movies I've seen, this one is by far the best. It even outranks High School Musical on my list! The plot line was well developed and had a message kids can learn from. The movie had a fitting blend of humor and seriousness, and I thought that the actors were all wonderful! Some scenes could have been delivered better, but nobody's perfect. I also really admire Corbin for playing a double dutcher. Sure, you can argue that he's an actor and it's his job, but even so, he could have refused the part. Anyway, back to my main point... The stereotype in the movie that girls are the only ones who jump rope is, unfortunately, present in real life, and I think that this movie showed people that yes, boys can double dutch. My little brother thought the double dutch was cool, and for him, that's impressive.
Although the main focus of the movie was on Izzy and his double dutch dilemma, my favorite character was Tammy. I think that she was the most inspirational character out of all of them, for girls at least. Not only is she a female athlete in a male-dominant sport, but she also helps Izzy realize where his heart lies. I guess she really does have "a good head on her shoulders." Girls should try to be more like Tammy and less like Barbie. Call me a feminist, but it's true.
Overall, this movie was extraordinary! Next time it's on Disney, grab a few friends and watch it together. You'll like it, I promise!!

I thought the movie was a very good family movie. Corbin & Keke did a great job. The movie obviously worked around the "double dutch" but I would have liked to see a little more about Izzy's family situation. Kylee Russell as his little sister was a perfect match, because they could truly be siblings.
The interaction of the main characters was great. Keke and Corbin worked well together and the supporting characters were very enterataining. There appeared to be a lot of chemistry, which made the movie flow very naturally. I thought that Kylee Russell did a really good job. She seemed to have the right spunk as the little sister of a "cute and popular" big brother. I hope they do a sequel and spend a little more time with Izzy and Karin.
Overall I thought this was a really good Disney movie. Most of the people I talked to really enjoyed it. And thought it was just a nice movie to watch with the kids.
GOOD JOB Disney.

- TriviaDavid Reivers who plays Corbin Bleu's dad in the movie is his dad in real life.
- GoofsIn the City Finals, as the first routine (with Keke Palmer's song, It's My Turn) is ending, right before Keisha and Izzy do the flip, you can identify that the stunt double is jumping rope instead of Izzy. The complexion of the skin is different and if you pause at the right time you can see the stunt double's face.
