Jump in!

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.

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 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.

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.
