Lemonade Mouth

--Aired on Disney Channel in 2011.--

Review

    

     I was quite happy with this movie.  I felt this movie brought back the Disney Channel Magic.  It is a new sort of magic than I remember from my childhood. A different magic, but still a good magic. Obviously the film was corny, but all together a perfect blend of laughter, music, drama, tears and cuteness.

     Then again, I have always been partial to Disney Channel. I love it! Since I first discovered High School Musical I have been hooked. I’ve made it my personal goal to watch every Disney Channel Original Movie ever made. This one was especially good. I loved it!

     Lemonade Mouth is a story about five kids with separate struggles that are brought together to fight together. These five unlikely people are brought together through a majority of circumstances when they meet in detention and become a band.  They don't just become any band, they become a successful band. They have to fight to be together, to make their friendship work out. (On that note I did enjoy the "hey you guys we can work this out" line-haha-high school musical) They have to fight the school to just get a chance to be heard. They have to fight to know that every one of them is important and worth it and to become who they are.

      This movie is about being who you are. It is about standing up for what you believe in.

Lemonade Mouth made me want to get up and dance and of course encouraged me want to stand up and be proud, to make a change, to get involved and to do something great!

Cast

     This movie had a rather remarkable cast, atleast I was impressed. I have to admit I find something comforting about the familiar faces that appear regularly on Disney Channel. There is nothing like watching an old re-run of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody guest-starring young Selena Gomez, or seeing Bridgit Mendler on Wizards of Waverly Place and knowing now not only does she have her own show Good Luck Charlie, but is starring in a movie. There were quite a few faces on the screen that I recognized.

     The list of the cast was as follows; there was Bridgit Mendler, as Olivia.  Oliva is a quiet, reserved, young lady, the evenutally head-woman for Lemonade Mouth,
song-writer-extraordinaire with a hidden past. Oliva eventually shared a little spark with Wen, played by Adam Hicks.  Adam Hicks was another familiar face as the latter half of Zeke and Luther, as well as the annoying neighbor in JONAS LA.  Plus, Wen was my all-around favorite character, he was sweet and funny.  Or maybe I just have a thing for gingers.  The next character is Stella, played by Hayley Kiyoko, who was also a familiar face. I recognized her from another favorite Wizards of Waverly Place where she guest-starred as a friend of Alex's and a rebel who was a wizard bent on eliminating Wizard Tournament forever.  Next comes Charlie, played by Blake Michael. Blake was an unfamiliar face to me, but with that smile he may be much more well-known very soon.  I loved the little, unrequited romance he had going on between the other unfamiliar face, the beautiful Mo (Mohini Banjaree), played by Naomi Scott.  Although I must admit I was quite disappointed when it didn’t go anywhere, especially since I was left wanting in the romance department. 

That's all for now.:)     Defiantly cheesy, but totally worth it.
