Now You See It...

This is one of only a couple high quality Disney Channel movies. I was really looking forward to this movie ever since I saw the preview for this movie. Might I say, I was shocked. It was so much better than I expected. The plot was very high quality for a Disney Channel movie. The magic was pretty cool too. There was a few good jokes in this move as well. It had a good amount of mystery and puzzle solving in this movie. I tried to figure out how they did some of the magic tricks, too. Allyson was kind of annoying at the beginning of the movie. Max creeped me out some of the times. This is probably my favorite Disney Channel movie. Second would be Tiger Cruise, and third would be Stuck in the Suburbs. I highly recommend this movie to any one out there. 5 Magic Stars

Now You See It, is an awesome movie about a girl, Alyson who wants to find the world's greatest kid magician. Along the way she finds a great magician named Danny who wants to find his way to stardom. She also finds about an evil magician planning a deadly plot. Will Danny die? Will Alyson be hurt? Who will be the greatest kid magician? What kind of tricks will the magicians perform? Will anything go wrong? Will there be any silly tricks?Will Danny perform extraordinary tricks or not?I can only say that Danny is cute . WOW Stop reading my questions and what'll happen? Well, There is only one way to find out what'll happen. All you have to do is watch!!

While producing a reality show, a teenager (Alyson Michalka) meets a magician (Johnny Pacar) whose powers are real but put him in danger. An aspiring reality television producer is looking for the best young magician in the world when she meets Danny Sinclair. But as she grows closer to him, he reveals a big secret: his magic is real!

I really love Disney movies, but watching the movies from the 2000s I realize how silly they are, with varied themes, but always in the same vein of simple, silly, funny, lucky for me to have a crush on this type of movie, but I found it super cute , despite everything having an extra dose of exaggeration, bizarre situations all fitting together very conveniently and a cute ending with a little moral lesson like every Disney movie has to be...

I like it, and every time I watch it, it always has it's 'charm.' I love watching it again and again, some movies on Disney gets annoying when played over and over again, but this movie isn't one of them. Every time I watch it, it always has the same suspense. I always panic when I know the male character (Pacar) is about to die or something even though I know he isn't. The acting is great too. Pacar and Michalka acts well when they're doing a serious scene. They're facial expression to the way they talk, it's all good. Great to watch, and watch again. For those of you who hasn't seen it and thinks it's JUST a 'Disney movie,' you're wrong =P Watch it.

I give it an eight out of ten. The story is good, but isn't realistic. The acting is good.

Now, the stereotypical Disney Channel movie is some "Hooray for everything!"-themed movie about a young girl/guy struggling to get through middle school/high school. This is still about a young boy (around 16) and a girl (same age) trying to help him master his magic.

Alyson Michalka doesn't stray far from her character on Phil of the Future with Alyson (wow, what a stretch with the name), perky, fun, and inquisitive. Yet her character in this movie has slightly more "oompf" than Keely.

Johnny Pacar is very good at portraying Danny, struggling to keep his powers secret and under control.

This movie strays slightly from the Disney Channel movie mold. It's a little more dark than past Disney movies, and I like the change. The writing is very good for a kid/teen movie, and the casting is done very well. The main idea of the movie is that Allyson (Michalka) is a teen producer on a new reality show trying to find the "World's Greatest Kid Magician." But all her prospects are a flop. Until she finds Danny (Pacar), that is. They move to the magic mansion, which leads to mystery, drama, and even betrayal. Well, as much betrayal as can be shown on the Disney Channel.

All in all, I commend Disney on at least trying to break out of their stereotypes with this movie. It's entertaining, and you should at least try to check it out. Michalka and Bacar have great on-screen friend chemistry, even in the beginning, when they're less than friends.
