This film was exceptional for a kids film, especially for a Disney film at that! The intro with the choir was very refreshing especially since the youtube sensation singer-sisters, Chloe and Hailey, sounded amazing! I was became quite hesitant of the film, however, when it came to the first rap battle because I thought that it was another "High School Musical" with a cheesy group sing along but the raps were actually very clever! It was good, clean raps that I wouldn't mind listening to on the radio even at my age (early/middle aged, not gonna say)!
The message is relatable and can be utilized in any situation. Young kids/teens nowadays are feeling like they have to conform to the trends and this film instills in their minds the importance of standing up for what you believe in. In this contemporary world that is constantly changing its not hard for children to consumed by others opinions.
The songs are lyrically beautiful and the acting is genuine. Most people don't hear god, clean raps so this was very refreshing because rap is poetry and it can be meaningful but in this generation it seems that rap is only viewed by what is hear on the radio.
The actor from "everybody hates chris" does a wonderful job at portraying the loyal protagonist in the film. He adds humor to the film and enhances it in every other aspect. I suggest you watch this film because it will make your day. I would have expected a different ending but hey the film made me smile the entire time.
As for the comment pertaining to the cast with a rating of one star. You all can tell that a child wrote that. The many careless errors was appalling. Besides that, why would you criticize the ethnicity of the cast members. Is it because they're black or is it because it's one of the first recent films to feature a majority black cast with a few white people. Is it uncomfortable to sit on the other side because that comment was unnecessary and so hypocritical when many films were made with a majority white cast (with very few black people) and no one says anything about that. In fact people judged their acting skills instead. Why point out the obvious when it doesn't even matter. That comment made me sick b/c knowing that those type of individuals with closed and pitying mindsets still exist in the world. It seems that there will never be a time when a film like this won't be praised for "giving colored people a chance on the big screen" but solely on the concept and the message of the film. By the way her outfits look that way throughout the film because her manager was trying to "trendy", hence the last "Lady Gaga"-inspired look. did you even watch the film? (<-- to whoever wrote that comment).
