Teen Musical - The Movie

This was a cute, sing-tastic film that for any teen, or young at heart for that matter, to enjoy.

This film is the work of many, and in support of the many artists who came together and shared their talent, I am giving it a thumbs up. It is the first film of an aspiring director, and it was a very big goal to take on. When I first saw the story line it reminded me of Sister Act -the story where Whoopi Goldberg played a nun and coached inner city kids to sing in a nunnery while hiding out from her mobster of a boyfriend. The main difference between the two films is the synergy and the flow of character development. A lot of time was given to the stage show in this film, whereas in Sister Act the stage show is only shown in snippets that highlighted the actual story line and no full songs were seen from beginning to end except a few very key songs to the characters development. Therefore, some may find this transition from story into full fledged stage performance 'jarring' and feel that the film does not flow well. The directors vision was to put a musical within a musical- this will feel strange for many as it is not a flow that many will be used to. There are golden moments all throughout though, and I sincerely hope those are seen and enjoyed.

I rarely make a pass on films. I usually encourage watching things for yourself but this you can skip on and save some time. I do understand. The film is trying to be a proper musical but everything just falls short. A bland story we've seen plenty of times, mediocre performances (vocally and acting wise) plus the music is mixed badly, the songs don't stick and at the same time cringey. I don't understand why this film was pushed. As a fan of music and film, this hurt to watch. I usually look at the pros and cons but this just really threw me off the whole time. I even pushed myself to finish it so I could really analyze the film in a proper way. I just don't see why this mess is out there. It's all good messages and they do try to portray that but things just don't flow well. The pacing is really odd, the edits aren't pleasing. I just couldn't go on with this film in all aspects. That's my personal take but in a film aspect. Everything in this is just bad. To put it quickly. Just bad. 1/10 I do not recommend, watch something better.

I really enjoyed this movie. Good Family Entertainment story. Songs are great.

I think it's a great musical. I loved the acting in the film. It was definitely a fun Christian movie for all audiences. One of the better ones for sure!
