Zombies

She insisted on the 8, though I would have hedged toward a 6, we had fun watching it together. The acting is actually fun to watch and the music is catchy. The story isn't great, and yes, pretty dang predictable in a lot of ways, but I think it handled the message of overcoming intolerance nicely. And it gave us a good chance to have a mom-daughter talk about how she can be supportive of friends at school that get picked on for being different in one way or another. Any show that can give you that opportunity has merit. If she wants to watch it again with me, I wouldn't hesitate.

It's a classic Disney in every sense of the word, and yes we've seen it before with Descendants BUT, I did enjoy it. The actors were lovable, Zed especially. The wig that Addison(why do they always have names like Addison?) wears, the white one, is frigging awful and a better one should've been chosen, and all the zombies somehow look like the Jokers offsprings, which I just found plain weird, but all in all it's cute. If you like Descendants and wanna watch another movie like it, but with different characters, you'd probably enjoy this too.

This movie was literally a copy of Descendants and it was just the worst movie ever made and honestly really predictable

Considering this is a Disney Channel TV movie, and not a theatrical film, it was very entertaining! The leads Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly had great chemistry and their acting (including Bucky, Trevor Tordjman) was great, which you don't usually get with DCOMs. Even some of the leads in the ever-popular Descendents were lacking, so it was refreshing to see some better talent in this movie. I liked the overall tone of the movie and the cheerleaders reminded me a bit of Bring It On, in how they enthusiastic and sometimes corny they were in talking about cheerleading. One negative- I felt that the costuming and setting was a bit over the top. I understand this was done intentionally to portray the differences between the two worlds of humans and zombies, but the pastels and bright neon pink and green was just too much for the eye to take.

The music was good, a little cookie-cutter, but the song Someday was particularly sweet and effective in setting the tone and message for the movie. I thought it was a great statement for young kids on how racism is bad and we should be more accepting of other people/culture/differences, and I loved how Disney put it in the context of Zombies- fun and inspirational! I am curious to see if this gets a sequel and interested to see where they take the story next.

This movie when I saw the preview at first, I had low expectations. I thought it was gonna flop. However.....after watching the premiere, I actually really liked it! :D

The characters were really likable, even the "antagonist/villain" was likable.

There is a lot of "Diversity" in this Movie, which was the main message of the Movie from the start.

Acceptance & Diversity!

Meg Donnelly ie Addison, allows the viewer to see what's like to be accepted amongst your peers only to live with the cripplingly fear of your "true self" being exposed, thereby hiding it and showing a "pretend you" in order to feel accepted. Which is what a lot of kids/teenagers can relate to when starting a new school with new people.

In the end......well I won't spoil it! ;)

But just like I mentioned before, acceptance and diversity plays a big role! So this movie is a fun, entertaining movie for children and young teens to watch, and better choreography than Descendants! Oh....and the lip sync is actually better when they sing in this movie! Just putting that out there! :)
