Jump in!

Previews of HSM's Corbin Bleu jumping double dutch made us want to catch the replay broadcast of this Disney Original Movie. I never really thought that double dutch is a serious sport for some people. I have never even seen anyone jumping double dutch in real life where I live. The conflict of Corbin's character Izzy to be a boxer (as the dream of his ex-boxer dad) versus that of being a double dutch jumper (thought to be a sissy girls' sport) has been tackled in so many other youth fims, not the least of which was High School Musical itself. But the leads are very talented and engaging. And furthermore, I was very entertained by the music, dancing and jump rope skills displayed in this movie.

This is the only movie I've seen that practice Double Dutch, it's nice to see a different sport. I remember me watching this as a kid and jumping all day long with my siblings. It is a very entertaining movie for kids, and I'm sure young adults can resist it. The songs are good and the pacing works, it's not boring. Good message, the story is predictable, yes, but still fun to watch with kids.

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.

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.

I have to give props to Corbin Bleu. He's a much better actor than Zac Efron. Keke Palmer did a good job, too.

I never considered jumping rope a "sport" until I saw this movie. To see how hard these guys work at what they do is amazing! Some of the tricks were SO awesome. It's cool, because I can't even double-dutch! Though the movie was predictable "too the limit", it had a good theme -follow your dreams. Even though this movie has the themes of EVERY Disney Channel movie out there, it was still a heartfelt story.

It amazes me how much they had to work to get it all perfect. But the romance in the movie freaks me out. I am about the same age as Keke, and she had a "relationship" with the 17-year-old Bleu.

Plus the soundtrack was GREAT!
