Absolutely Fantastic
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreThis movie was better than I expected. It presented a positive view about what persons can do with their life, even if life is not fair. With some comedy, real life situations and disappointments and how determination can overcome almost any challenge, this movie is must see. It shows how different walks of life can get along when a common goal is presented. Also showing that no matter what side of the tracks you're from, inside we are all basically the same.We strive to be better. A better person, player, friend or just trying to understand how to handle life itself.This movie will make you sad, happy, laugh and at times even dance for the sake of dancing. Very well made in my opinion. I wish more movies with this type of message were made more often.
View MoreYeah, they needed to hire actual volleyball players, because the volleyball was absolutely pathetic. Terrible hitting form, terrible passing form...the only thing they did right was the warm ups before the games, but even that was so so.... They could have at least undimmed the lights to make it feel like they were in a gym. No volleyball player in their right mind would want to play in such dim light. I hate it when people ruin sports in movies by either not hiring people who actually play the sport or going with stereotype...sad....The acting needed some work too, although Adrienne Bailon did a good job, Ciara did not do so well... She should stick to singing. The story was so typically mtv it was sickening...
View MoreWell MTV Movies are usually not good movies, because of the cast that they choose. Adrienne Bailon (3LW) in this movie showed a more dramatic side of her, then I've ever seen. I was shocked and excited that should could put on a performance, she could be a good actress. Now as for Ciara she mentioned that she didn't have acting classes to do this movie, well she should have, because like someone stated there wasn't a character it was "Ciara." If you looked closely you can see that she smiles when trying to be serious. Other than that I like movies that deal with teenage drama, because it's some what true. I would say if your a fan of any one in this movie go get it, other then that don't.
View MoreWhen I first viewed this movie I was completely amazed by it. It gave me a sense of realness and I must say it quite funny. Ciara's acting skills I thought were outstanding, seeing as it was her first movie, and she's had no acting training whatsoever. I also think that Adrienne Bailon did a stupendous job on this film. In the scene where her father died in the fire was completely remarkable. Her actions were right on point, and she even let out a tear or few. Not everyone can pull that off, I know I couldn't. The plot was fairly clever, indeed, transferring schools--brilliant! In this film everyone can take some sort of message from, whether good or bad, it's impossible not to take a message from it. It's a story about life, confidence, and friendship and believe me if you haven't seen it then I suggest you do.
