Awesome movie, especially for Disney Channel.......

As a Disney Channel Original Movie, most people wouldn't expect much from Minutemen, but you'd be surprised! To start off with, Minutemen has an amazing plot. I mean, trust Disney Channel to come up with something as corny as High School Musical. But Minutemen, on the contrary, is a fast paced, adventurous, funny movie that'll keep you on the edge of your seat! It might have a few holes in it, but if you watch it for a pure entertainment purpose, it's truly a great movie. The cast is amazing, and they bring out the best in the movie. The three Minutemen were perfectly casted in my opinion! I highly recommend this movie for all ages! Just because it's Disney Channel doesn't mean it's for 3 year olds........
