Sadly Over-hyped

... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreOne must consider, when watching this show, the target audience. While many may say that the acting is terrible, the songs overly cheesy and the story lines predictable and simple, this is not what the children that it is aimed at will be thinking. And I believe, when considering the 8 - 12 year old target range, the show really does hit the mark. I loved it when I was 12! It is bright, simple, and it makes you feel good. The songs are catchy and wholesome, presenting much better messages to youth today then anything that plays on the radio.Coming from a more mature perspective, I know it is terribly cheesy, but I like it anyway. While I believe it can be mutually agreed that S Club 8's acting leaves a lot to be desired, the other 5 bring great emotional depth to their characters. In particular, Rachel Hyde-Harvey as Amy, who not only sells her flawed but lovable character, but also has arguably the best voice on the show (and even better than those from High School Musical or Glee!). Her antagonistic relationship with Felix (Matt Di Angelo, eye candy all the way!) is what kept me watching the show, if nothing else.It's a shame that this was the little show that couldn't, because I believe that marketed correctly, could have become the next (or rather, first) High School Musical.
... View MoreWhen i first saw this show i couldn't believe my eyes. No, not in the good way, the bad way. The plot is very simple. A bunch of young teenagers get a scholarship to a prestigious talent school where they learn to sing. The characters acting is terrible and it is all very materialistic. This should have been made by Disney. The main characters are all overly relaxed and always look like they have stepped out of a magazine article about lazy people. The "professor toone" is a terrible creation half between a rollerskating teenager with wrinkles and a demented music teacher. All in all i give this 3/10. However, to be fair, i would suggest the show to an audience with a liking for weird music, strange fashion and bad acting.
... View MoreI am a massive S Club 8 fan so when I heard of their upcoming TV show I was really excited!!! However when I saw the first episode (besides falling in love with MAtt DiAngelo) I was a little disappointed in the fact that they weren't there! However as the series went on they were in it more and more and the story lines got better and better! I felt that all their acting was amazing despite the fact the poor Hannah and Rochelle and Aaron didn't exactly get to do much!!! I also felt the songs were a little taken over by Frankie Calvin and the "New" Dreamers! But I accepted the faults and carried on watching. The characters given were amazing, Rachel Hyde-Harveys character was very funny especially when with Lorna Want or Matt DiAngelo and the twist at the end really gripped peoples attention!!! Personally i cant wait for a new series of I Dream, that is if their is one!
... View MoreI don't think much of S Club acting. In all honesty, Frankie needs to go back to acting classes, it's that bad. But apart from that, Rachel Harvey, Helen Kurup, Lorna Want, Matt DiAngelo and George Wood's acting is brilliant. I love most of the songs, and I think that this show is perfect for the target audience. Also, I think the programme is good for teenagers too, though it is a little predictable (but what else do you expect from a CBBC programme?)Christopher Lloyd has a good character, though I don't think he should sing. All in all, however, I think it is a brilliant show, and I hope that there'll be a second series.
