Not the greatest thing but definitely surpassed my expectations

I admit that an 8/10 might be a little too high for this movie but I thought that, compared to all other movies similar to this, it belonged in the upper level and thus deserved the 8/10. Overall it was a pretty good movie, a modern day Cinderella story. They replaced the Prince with a Celebrity (Drew Seeley), they replaced the servant with a maid (Selena Gomez) and replaced the slipper with an MP3 player.

At first I thought it would be like all other movies similar to this, the entire movie leads up to the buildup where the boy will find out who the girl is and they will fall in love, but this one is different. I thought it was a great idea that they finished that in the first half with him finding his girl and filled the second half with modern day drama. This movie was more than just a Cinderella story, it wasn't just the "prince" finding his "princess" and an endless love, it dealt with insecurity and different social rankings and everything. They had a premise built around dance and stuck with that premise throughout the movie which was another big positive.

Overall i thought it was a very enjoyable movie, compared to all movies it probably would not be higher than 6 because it wasn't anything close to the "best thing ever" but compared to many Disney Movies, I'd rank this as the 2nd best movie right behind High School Musical 1.

It is a good movie, very enjoyable, and very satisfying. The main concern many people have would be the romantic interest between a 26 year old guy and a 16 year old girl, but in the movie they sort of build off the same vibe with an older guy and a younger girl. It is said that they are not the same age in the movie, as she was admiring him and "loving him" when she was only 10. Disney did not ignore the age gap and i think that it just made the film more powerful as it was yet another obstacle that they had to overcome, in addition to everything else.
