Absolutely Fantastic

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie is such a classic. Obviously not sophisticated but that's not the point of the movie. Just a solid feel good classic. Hilary Duff is great.

OK, so right after you left Terri starts making out on a rooftop with caterpillar guy and ghetto chick is angered. Then the whole crew goes to an open microphone night. Terri and caterpillar start singing and then Terri freaks out and runs outside because she saw a bright light and it reminded her of creepy jean jacket brother. Terri gets the solo in that one class and ghetto chick is angered. Then ghetto chick starts yelling at caterpillar while her shirt awkwardly falls down. Then Terri is like "im not good enough for this junk" and the teacher guys like Nah man. Next, Terri walks in on ghetto chick and caterpillar kissing so she starts crying again and runs off into her closet and rips a bunch of blank pages out of a diary. Some sad music happens and there's a montage of her walking on the beach in awful pants. (wow this movie is fast paste, all of this happened in 5 minutes). Then she has a heart to heart with the teacher "you have to take what's here and put it in here." That's what she said. Caterpillar shows up drunk and sassy black chick starts raging. Then she says "y'all need to relocate" and caterpillar and Terri go up to the roof and caterpillar passes out. Then Terri stays up there with him until morning for some reason. They make up and start singing something reminiscent of high school musical. The dad finds out that Terri is at the school and he silently rages. Again, you were definitely right about "hot" crazy guy. Then there is an awkward make out scene with crazy guy and scary should-have-Russian-accent chick that results in destruction on multiple drum sets. Now there is the final performance to see who will earn the scholarship. Ghetto chick opens with a musical number and a fail outfit. Next is crazy guy. He has ADD at the VERY least. scary chick is next, followed by sassy black chick who gets magic with it. Last is caterpillar and Terri but Terri's dad shows up and tries to make her leave right before she gets on stage! But then he ends up joining in the audience with the mom. Once she's on stage she sees her creeper brothers ghost sketchy style. Then she starts singing a quality song while caterpillar plays the guitar,and the whole scene is very similar to the end of high school musical. While singing she pops a squat which looked awkward. Then they start making out backstage. Sassy black chick wins the scholarship. Terri's dad turns into a soft one and starts talking about how proud he is and says he might send her there next year (there should be a raise your voice two!)

Now your probably thinking, "He gave it 10 stars?? Only some horny 17 year old guy would give it that" and I'm not here to disagree. Seen it last night on TV and thought it was awesome... Storey was great, the feeling was good, and most of all the actors were top notch. Some say if you took Hillie and her music out of the movie, I wouldn't want a bar of this film... and that's probably true too. BUT! She was in it, so it made the movie a thrill to watch. You may call it bias, but its the fact. hell, put Hillie in the worst movie ever and ill give it 10 stars. 10/10

Some bad lines, seriously bad makeup on all characters (sorry) , Some over produced notes BUT has everything i wanted from it! Has a lot of drama and OMG moments. Overall i liked it. I loved the song and the cast meshed nicely. The 'relationship' between Hilary & Oliver was realistic and lovable.Its a Clean Teen Family Movie! the relationship is full of innocent moments and Hilary plays them well. The Car crash scene was very well done... it was nice that it wasn't over done with special effects! gave me shivers! Easy and clear storyline to follow!!! The film covers a lot of emotional times and hard choices... it covers a lot of issues and has a good happy-go-lucky soundtrack.i love it xSx87x
