Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jellycatty I love disney but this was an awful film with awful acting (thank goodness they've gotten better since). it was cheesy in a bad way. i honestly don't know why i watched it all the way to the end
Sukhmeet Singh Dhingra Now this movie has some really unhelpful advice to your kids, most of it would be only successful in an ideal world. It's split into 3 parts each mentioning something about a terrible moral judgment, I'll spoil the basics. 1. There's this kid who for a simply girl; tells his dog to get out, (whom I expect he didn't have the best relationship with anyway), later he finds out that she's been going out with a few more guys because of another girl who has a crush on him. 2. A couple of young teenagers who are extremely obsessed with the fashion industry, (whom nobody at the school knows about for some odd reason), are invited for a job opportunity and bump into some narcissistic adult. They are eventually told by her that only one of them can have a job, so they both go through some bogus random coincidences to interview the exact same guy, after that's done they realize he was a fraud and both of them submit the same exact story for the job. At last, both of them are rightfully denied because the business lady can't afford 2 people. 3. Two girls who look exactly like each other decide to swap their lives, and everyone is too big of an idiot to notice that something doesn't seem right. They eventually decide that they want their lives back and finally put some random impacts on the other people involved.Basically I would not recommend this at all. There are tons of great Disney movies I would recommend over this, and more realistic and believable.
hannahwilh I absolutely loved this pointless, trashy waste of my time. No, I'm sorry, I can't even be sarcastic. All I can say is the best part of the movie was when a nameless character yawns at the beginning of a scene. It's not even funny that I'm not joking. The three acts had little to no correlation at all, and the storyline was so shallow and predictable that I think my brain cells started dying. Yeah, this movie was a big "yay for friendship, let's make this into a life lesson" thing, but I think it would have been much better if there was at least some substance to it. Act I- Cliché boy and dog, nothing can ever come between us except "super hot" girl who just wants to be science partners. Her evil plan to use the boy to get an A is revealed through some very loud whispers within earshot of said boy and dog, but only dog hears. Girl is rude to dog and boy doesn't notice (???). Fast forward through some uninteresting plot. End of act, science project that boy did by himself is ruined and mean girl runs away. Act II- Much "eepppp"ing. So competitive. Such friendship. Everything resolved in end. Act III- Two girls are identical twins, and yet later on revealed that actually they aren't related, they just happen to look exactly the same. And you'll never guess what they do-they switch places!!! Never saw that coming! And after a day in each others' lives, they want to switch back! But then they don't (???). At the end, the high school relationship is resolved because the boy didn't care that he was being lied to, the conceited jerk gets dumped, the uptight parents each tacos, the girl gets her forbidden puppy, and everyone suddenly appears for a dance party. If Disney-and any other corporations that appeals to the young people in society- really want to impact children, they can. But not by making these mind-numbing movies that teach "friendship is important" (not saying it isn't). How about a movie that teaches real life lessons, like how to be a decent person and treat people with respect, or how it is more important to succeed in high school than it is to have a boyfriend and be popular (with someone other than a rich, white suburban girl as the protagonist)?Or not.
ctlnm12 This movie shows that Disney writers are really running out of ideas. This movie is really three short films featuring three clichés stuffed into one movie. Each part would have made a good movie by itself. But together, the stories were awkwardly crammed together and didn't transition well.The first part is about a boy whose frenemy is his dog. He and his dog have a "fight" because the boy's girlfriend tricked the dog into flushing the boy's prized award. This part was the best and wasn't as much of a cliché. It just didn't seem as good overall.The second part is about two girls who run their own fashion blog. Their friendship breaks apart because only one of them is asked to be an executive at a huge fashion company. The whole "friends competing for one job" has been done too many times already. I could already see how the fight would resolve from the moment it started. They also pulled the cliché "we're best friends and not even you can pull us apart" thing.The third part is the worst of all in my opinion. It's the classic "Prince and the Pauper" act. But the Prince and the Pauper has already been redone in several TV shows and movies. I was so bored with this movie by this point that it became background noise by this point. I tuned back in to see that they somehow all saw each other at the dance.Save yourself the time and watch something else. It's an absolutely awful movie.
