Jump in!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.
