Teen Beach Movie

If you haven't noticed from my other reviews, I'm a longtime Disney Channel fan. I grew up watching the network in elementary school, especially when they used to show _Growing Pains_ on there; later on, I was known for being a big fan of _Lizzie McGuire_ and _Raven_ throughout high school. So, you'd probably think I'd enjoy this...and, to a degree, I did. I'm not a big fan of anything involving large bodies of water, so, anything with a word like "beach," "swim," or "pool" (unless it refers to billiards) in the title makes me hesitant to check it out. Still, I liked Ross Lynch in _Austin & Ally_, and Maia Mitchell seemed like an attractive and talented leading lady, so, I figured, why not? While it was mostly fun, especially the musical numbers, there was a bit too much exposed skin, which isn't what I'm used to from a DCOM, even one that takes place on a beach. Will I check out the sequel? We'll see.

It took me a little bit to get into it but as soon as they are transported in the beach movie "Wet Side Story", it became so silly I laughed throughout the movie. High School Musical + Grease + a hint of Spy Kids. Nightmare fuel for some but just my cup of tea.
