One of my all time favorites.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The other reviewers have it covered except that no one is talking about the elephant in the room, namely how the casting broke a Hollywood taboo.If you consider the backstory (to the film, not the script) this was part of the attempt to turn Alexa Vega into the next Selena Gomez, a project which, with hindsight, can be considered to have been less than successful.Nonetheless, Vega's work in this film was harder than it had to be, because the producers did something you are never, ever, supposed to do. They cast the role as "second banana" with someone prettier, older, and generally more likely to steal scenes from Vega.Don't believe me? Wind the film back to scene one and watch how Mika Boorem steals shot after shot after shot.Should teach this in film class.

This movie didn't make me laugh, cry or smile . The fact that being popular and getting a lunch spot for you to eat your lunch was a stupid storyline of the movie . Some had horrible acting , others seemed like they had no clue what they were doing .The brother of Julie wasn't even funny. It seemed like he was trying to hard . The scavenger hunt seemed way to cheesy. Im still kind of surprised that Steve Carrell would be a part of this. But , it wasn't the most horrible movie in the world . I see that this is a movie for children interested in a long movie at a sleepover or at a friend's house to fall asleep . Overall , 1 out of ten.

This movie was not great, but not bad. I give it a seven because two actresses I like are in this movie: Alexa Vega and Sara Paxton. Alexa Vega was talented as acting like a normal, nerdy type of girl, and Sara Paxton looked like she had a lot of fun playing the "mean girl." Overall, the acting was great.On the other hand, the story line didn't have a lot of meaning to it. I felt it was a variation of Cinderella. It was more like Cinderella than the movie "A Cinderella Story" with Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray.But, this movie would be a fine movie to watch if you were bored on a rainy day with hot chocolate and popcorn. No, it wouldn't be like the great Harry Potter movies, but it also wouldn't be like Read it and Weep, a stupid movie. You wouldn't be wasting your money if you rented it, but you probably would if you bought it.

Okay, here we go. Vega's character is crushing on a guy whose apparently only attributes is being cute and riding a skateboard. Wow! Amazing! How shallow! The fat girl's only chance at a relationship comes from the chubby sound guy not the male model wannabe. So are you trying to say that it is okay for the fat, unpopular people just need to hang with each other while the cute skinny people need to be with each other? Just once I would like to see the fat, ugly unpopular kid get the supermodel girl or guy. But this is the lie that Hollywood wishes to put out there. If you don't look like you should be on the cover of a magazine then you are useless to the world. It is an okay movie if there is nothing else on or if you don't have paint drying. Watch it on cable but please don't waste money renting it.
