Go Figure (2005)
Not the worst... but awfully cheesy
Okay, when I came on the board for this movie, I was really expecting people to be making fun of it. I was surprised to see that people over the age of 7 liked it. I enjoyed the movie... but only b/c me and my little sister (who is, in fact only 10) made fun of the whole thing.
I am sorry Jordan, but that acting was awful. You know a movie is headed for the toilet when the lead cannot act. And it didn't even have a good script or plot to redeem it. I also thought that the character of Pamela was very very lame... border-lining pathetic.
Even with that being said, I thought there were a few good actors, such as gorgeous Spencer, Hollywood, and Ronnie. Still, not enough to redeem the movie.
Two things about this movie that I just can't get over:
1.) That that Spencer guy would fall for her. Okay, eww. I looked up the dates and while in reality, he is only about four years older than her, the difference in "Go Figure" seemed much larger. Jordan is a very pretty girl, but in GF, she seemed like 10 or 12... she seemed like a little kid! Jake Abel (Spencer) seemed like a college student.
2.) That there is any way that Kristi Yamaguchi would come just to skate for one girl. I mean, I know that Katelin is good and everything, but it still just seemed kinda unlikely that Kristi would go to a boarding school that didn't even have scholarships for skating, or that a school would have employed a skating coach with such connections.
That all being said... it wasn't the worst movie ever known, but it wasn't very good even by DCOM standards, which I consider quite low.
High School Musical (2006)
Okay.. but it doesn't live up to expectations.
I am sure, if you haven't seen this movie yet, that you have heard that it is so wonderful. If you haven't heard from someone, I assume that you will see posters and T-Shirts and all and think that is must be an excellent movie.
However, I think that Disney is milking the movie for more than it's worth. The first time I saw the movie, I liked it despite its corniness. But with all the hype that has been created, I quickly have gotten sick of it.
I gave this 4/10 stars because I think that the music was actually quite good and that most of the singers could actually sing.The choreography was also excellent.However, the acting was only so-so in my opinion and the plot line was below average.In addition, I found the movie to be too happy joyful without much of a climax or conflict within it.
Another good thing that can be said for it is that it teaches good lessons to children. I would recommend it for children up to the age of twelve, but any age after that would, from my point of view, find the movie quite corny.
Epic Movie (2007)
Don't go to see this movie!
This movie was not only extremely disappointing, but it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I was expecting it to be like the Scary Movies (which I find hilarious) but it was dull and unoriginal. In addition, it took innocent movies such as Narnia and Willy Wonka and turned them into twisted, perverted tales. I found it disturbing, and I am nearly positive that it would disturb any children that happened to see it.
So, even if you want to see it, DON'T TAKE THE KIDS!!!! There were only a few parts where I laughed, but even then it was stuff I had seen before. This movie was truly bad.
