User Reviews

For only having 14 days to shoot the scenes and all, this is an amazing movie

I bought this movie for my four younger siblings last Christmas. I'd had my eye on it for a while, curious about whether it would be a knock-off of High School Musical or if it would be able to stand its own.

While there might be moments where the acting is cheesy, or things are a bit off, the movie is one that all eight of us enjoyed. The songs are catchy, the choreography well put together, the basis of the story is one that is appropriate for any and all ages. There are no hidden innuendos or questionable material.

I might be "too old" for the movie, however, I find that I work better, when I have a few of the songs playing in the background. Its sweet, cute, well done for first time writers and amazingly done for having only fourteen days to shot all of the scenes.
