Somewhere in the Top live-action Disney Movies
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.
Not bad
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.
Pushes Double Dutch depiction to the limit!
Corbin Bleu was locked into the Disney machine from 2006 through 2007, starring in three of the biggest Disney Channel Original Movies in two years. "Jump In!" shares the common DCOM plot trope of a character being torn between conflicting passions and societal gender expectations-similar to the "High School Musical" films-but introduces enough unique elements to set it apart.
Having Keke Palmer as the supporting lead greatly elevates the performance quality of this as a TV movie; she and Bleu have impressive chemistry for such young actors. The inclusion of multiple original, earworm songs might not have been strictly necessary, but it helps solidify "Jump In!" as a top-tier DCOM.

a good movie, mostly
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!

Corbin's Got The Moves
This product from the Disney Studios finds young Corbin Bleu taking center stage as a young Golden Gloves boxer who joins a jump rope competition with a bunch of girls. Naturally something like this is going to raise some eyebrows, especially among the group he travels with.
There are some who might say Corbin should have been the one starring in those High School Musical flicks and in Jump In, Corbin shows what he can do in a starring role. He certainly has the moves for boxing, dancing, and for double dutch jump roping.
Corbin Bleu is one of the more winning personalities that come out of the Magic Kingdom currently and he and Keke Palmer make a very nice young couple on the screen. Corbin even got a hit song out of the film, Push It To The Limit, a motto to use in both boxing and double dutch.
You could do a lot worse than this film and the Magic Kingdom has on occasion.

- 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.
