Super Sweet 16: The Movie

I enjoyed this movie and watching these two best friends plan their sweet sixteens and compete over which one would have the better party. I find the things they must go through to make their parties "perfect" to be amusing. I think my favorite part of the movie was when the band Hellogoodbye performed. They are one of my favorite bands and it was absolutely amazing to see them make an appearance in the My Super Sweet Sixteen movie. Hellogoodbye definitely made the movie worth loving for me. I think that anyone who would find spoiled kids throwing fits and tantrums over their sweet sixteen parties to be humorous should definitely check out the show and movie! It would not be a waste of time to check it out!

Let me just start off by saying 3 of the 8 stars I am giving go to the movie. The movie was funny and like every TV movie, predictable. Sarah and Jacquie are best friends until their Sweet 16's and....oh you get the idea.The other 5 stars go to the Michalka sisters a.k.a Aly&AJ. They do a great job in this film. AJ is great as Sarah and Aly is really good at capturing Taylor. I mean, if you watch any of their interviews, Aly is not mean at all. For me, the highlight of the film is the cafeteria scene. Where you see how hard these girls are trying to get their parties populated with people. Especially, when Sarah says "Remember, the devil did wear Prada". Basically, what I'm saying is the Michalka sisters made the movie what it was.

Im usually a fan of chick flicks, in fact i love them. But this movie was truly made-for-TV junk. I fell to sleep no less than 3 times throughout the whole affair, and couldn't wait for the movie to end. The acting was awful, the plot - even worse, and the annoying thing was,, the two main actresses, AL and aj kept plugging their mediocre music for all it was worth. There were even "guest appearances" (so my sister tells me, but for the life of me i had no idea who these people were) from past guests of the show "my super sweet 16". Just because your family owns a few million should not give you the right to think you can act when you clearly cant! Overall a no-go

A movie based off of one of the most notorious MTV shows of all time? How bad could it be?

Simply put, it's not good at all. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are plot holes such as one of the main characters explicitly stating that she is vegan and then eating ice cream towards the end of the film. Compounding upon these issues, the script is pretty lackluster though the actors still give it their all. And the cinematography can be described as awkward in some scenes. Not to mention the obvious overdubbing at at least one point. All in all, the movie falls flat, not only due to its technical imperfections, but right down to its very plot. Throughout the film, the main characters emotionally manipulate their parents in order to get them to spend exorbitant amounts of money on their parties. Not much character growth occurs during the film, with the main characters not deviating much from their typical character archetypes.

One of the only bright spots was the music used in the movie, although the film does not commit to playing many of these songs in their entirety. Also, I have to give the writers credit for including at least one brave political hot take. At one point in the film, a character mentions a certain region in the PRC that has suffered much during recent history. I must give this film props for its courage to call out a formidable adversary. But, the few positives of this film do not outweigh the many negatives. MTV should have stuck with music videos.

This movie has a great storyline, but they play way too much in between a PG and PG-13 rating, they honestly tried a little too hard. Cassie Steele and Paula De'Anda carried the film, and their parts should have been more fulfilled. Ally and AJ seriously should have demanded rewrites in the script to better their rivalry chemistry, but the music of the movie was the highlight of it all, along with wardrobe and location sets.
