Camp Rock (2008)
Not worth all the hype...
Although this was at times a cute movie (mainly because of the Jonas brothers), my friend and I found ourselves laughing at the movie more than laughing with it. Maybe it's because I'm no longer in the pre-teen age group the movie was suppose to reach out to and I was only watching it because nothing else was on, but I thought the plot was unoriginal and extremely predictable. Sure, the Jonas Brothers added to the musical value and it had a few great songs in the end but the sound editing made it sound like the performers were lipsynching(who knows,some might've been).
The clique was annoying and extremely one-dimensional, and it was even more annoying to see the lead actress lose herself and try so hard to fit in. I'd give it an B for effort but it pretty much sums up the movie with the fact that the most entertaining part was seeing the blonde girl and Jo Jonas trying to fake cry.
Across the Universe (2007)
Finally! (Money well spent)
I'm a teenage girl and you could correctly say that I dislike many things. This movie is definitely not on my hate list. I bought the soundtrack with the last of my babysitting money the minute it came out.It was truly witty how the plot, and the names of the characters tied into the songs.
I was extremely lucky to see this movie. Although my best friend an I were planning on seeing some cheesy blockbuster, it sold out and we decided to take a chance and see Across the Universe. It was a piece of art but unlike many artsy movies, it wasn't confusing. It was the FIRST TIME I've ever agreed with one of the reviews on the preview for this movie ..."A Visual Masterpiece".
I'm usually not one at loss for words but this movie has the potential to leave you speechless.
