My friends and family know that I've been a fan of Disney Channel for quite a while. However, I wasn't always keen on their Original Movies, also known as DCOMs. Just after discovering _Lizzie McGuire_, I was all excited for the telefilm _You Wish!_, which starred Lalaine...only to be super disappointed. After a few other bad experiences, I stuck with the sitcoms...until recent viewings of DCOMs on DVD were actually fun and entertaining, if only for one viewing. Some of my friends may also know that I've been a fan of Danielle Panabaker, this telefilm's lead actress, for years; I even named my first iPod touch after her. So, you probably would expect me to enjoy this...and I pretty much did. While it can be silly at times, it provides cutesy escapism, which is the kind of movie I enjoy the most. Gritty realism is not my thing--I watch movies and television shows and read books to get away from that--so, if it's yours, you won't enjoy this...but, for fans of innocent entertainment like me, this is a great one. There's no profanity, the violence is only comedic, and about as sexual as it gets is the main character wearing a midriff-baring outfit, which she soon changes out of. The one issue I take is with the closing credits: While I love Anneliese van der Pol and her song "Over It," it doesn't fit with the rest of the movie; it's like ending _Cinderella_ with "Enter Sandman".

**Score: 4.5/5**

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't really recommend.

The movie is good enough. Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song do a good job carrying most of the movie, but I don't know told Taran Killam he could play a teen pop star.

The ladies look about 5 years older than their schoolmates, and Killam about 5 years older than that, so it's super awkward anytime they share the screen with other actors.

This is "teen drama" mixed with "swapped phones" and a bit of "blackmailed celebrity". The story just doesn't have a lot of substance, there isn't any lesson, and the characters are barely redeemable when it comes down to it.

It's a fun, maybe younger audiences might like it more, but most likely the dated technology is going to be off-putting for them.
