Powerful

Absolutely Fantastic

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Lemonade Mouth is far from being a great movie, but as far as Disney Channel movies go, this is one of the better ones. I think the whole movie and its story are well put together but its corny dialogues and lazy resolutions make it seem like everything solves itself. Like pure magic. One minute they're all off beat and out of sync and the next they're performing like they've been doing it for years, with a crystal clear studio-version quality sound. It really feels like this could only happen in a movie and, honestly, I didn't mind it all that much. I don't think they were trying to do something bold here. Lemonade Mouth is just a feel good TV movie with not-so-bad acting and a not-so-bad message about going beyond what's expected of you. And it works. I think it would work best for children or pre-teens since they would probably overlook the corniness present in some parts of the movie but, as an adult, I enjoyed and it did make me feel good. It did its job. It worked.Lemonade Mouth is not a great movie but it provides an enjoyable feel-good experience that'll make you forget about how harsh the real world can be. An alright TV Movie and one of the better Disney Channel ones.

Five disparate high school kids are sentenced to detention in the basement. Principal Brenigan (Christopher McDonald) uses corporate sponsorship to support only the sport teams. He relegates all the other groups into the basement. Miss Reznick (Tisha Campbell-Martin) is the music teacher who is facing funding cuts. Stella (Hayley Kiyoko) is the rebellious new girl who is the least successful of her family. Olivia (Bridgit Mendler) is the awkward loner who is hiding some devastating family secrets. Mo (Naomi Scott) is dealing with a selfish boyfriend and her conservative East Indian father. Charlie (Blake Michael) is the drummer forced to live up to his soccer star older brother. Wen (Adam Hicks) is angry that his father is moving on with a young girlfriend. The five new friends form a new band to compete in the local talent contest.I like all five young actors and their characters. With that, the movie can survive the cheesiness and the standard tropes. The music from the five is good enough. The story is hitting all the traditional kiddie movie ideas of rebelling against the system. Christopher McDonald and Tisha Campbell-Martin fall victim to the need for adults to act wacky in kiddie movies. The young actors and their characters' journeys save this from being a bad Disney TV movie.

Just watched this movie and was amazed! I didn't like high school musical(seen compared to many times) movies at all and usually musical movies i don't care much for but this movie was pretty good. Great motivation and determination message. Great family movie. As i am grown with two children i still enjoyed this movie. Not something i seen before. It has a great message. One downside i knew what was ganna happen next for the most part, as with most movies. some things were surprising that did or didn't happen. It is a must see for family. A great family movie with great messages!KEEP IN MIND: Side note i have never reviewed a movie and made an account just so i could review this. Mommy of 2 and a very observant 7 year old daughter this was perfect!

So I was really bored one night so I decided to flip on the telly only to see that "Lemoade Mouth", a brand new Disney channel movie, was playing on Disney channel. In the past, I have seen both successful Disney channel films High School Musical and Camp Rock. These movies are cheesy, innocent, goofy, and predictable. However, they are exactly as they market themselves. Lemonade Mouth marketed itself to be a serious film, not a comedy musical. To me, the plot of this movie was completely recycled. It was basically a cross between The Breakfast Club and Bandslam, and not as good as either (which is really saying something since Bandslam was not very good.)The acting was bland, but not horrible. Many of the scenes where very awkward. The music was terrible. It was very blah bubble gum pop with some of the worst rapping I may have ever heard. I found it hard to believe that a punk rock dressing activist like Stella would play this kind of music. But that's not what bothered me most about this movie. What bothered me most was how hard this movie tried to be relatable. The movie got so in depth with each of the character's background, yet I didn't feel like I could identify with any of these kids because they don't act like kids. Real teenagers swear and talk about PG13 rated stuff. I don't think there was even a kiss in this movie. Now I am aware that Disney does have to keep it's movies to a PG level, but I think they should start making movies more about their target audience, 10 and 11 year olds. I don't think anyone had a high school experience like the kids in Lemonade Mouth.
