Admirable film.

A Brilliant Conflict

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Didn't really watch the movie but while my kids were watching and I was reading the paper I heard them using the song "Soul Food" which is from Leon Russell's 1967 album, Asylum Choir that he did with a guy named Marc Benno. For those who never heard of Leon, check him out - he should be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame for his contributions during the early years with such folks as the Beach Boys, Joe Cocker and as a solo artist. Weird.....I am a huge Leon fan and the last place I would have expected to find his songs - let alone this one is a Disney movie. Great choice Mr. Director...... well i see I need ten lines of text so here goes.. this is the tenth line!!!!!!

A typical upbeat kids movie but with a notable different message. The REAL story is that our hero, 14 year old Eddie comes out. The jock goes through all of the angst, guilt, rejection and fear that any 14 year old boy would have upon realizing he was "different." However, Disney, in their infinite wisdom, super sanitizes the story so that Eddie comes out as a CHEF instead of GAY. I wont criticize it too much because even this would have been a big stretch for Hollywood five years ago. Cute and entertaining if you don't have much to do. CMC, Sherman Oaks, CA

This movie was not as good as some Disney Channel Original Movies over the past year, but it is better than The Even Steven's Movie and The Scream Team. Orlando Brown, Taylor Ball, and Reilly McClendon were good actors. I just thought it was a little strange how everyone made fun of him because he cooked. I mean come on. He was just cooking. No big deal. Overall B- Here's How it compares to other Disney Cahnnel original Movies over the ppast year.Get a Clue AA Ring of Endless Light BThe Scream Team CYou Wish A-Right on Track A-The Even Steven's Movie C+

This was a really good movie. The main character Eddie played by Taylor Ball did a really good job. Eddies friend DB got mad at Eddie because he would rather cook then play baseball. This is an all around good family movie.
