WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

usedtextbooks There comes a time when one decides to watch a Disney Channel movie because they want to watch something upbeat, cute and fun to pass the time. That's how I ended up watching Teen Beach and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the choreography, songs and the plot (though highly unlikely) was pretty good. I liked it for what it was and was definitely interested in checking out the sequel.However, the sequel completely strips away everything I liked about the first, especially by canceling out the first movie by making the end of Teen Beach 2 rule out the complete existence of "Wet Side Story" and the leads (Mack and Brady) knowledge of the other's existence until they re- meet. I liked the premise of the movie though of Mack and Brady going back to school and realizing the couple version of them in the summer is different from who they are in school. Except, when the cast of "Wet Side Story" entered the scene - the whole movie went downhill. Don't get me wrong, I like the characters from "Wet Side Story" but the writers didn't know how to juggle the two alternate worlds very well and the objectives for the characters could have been better. I hated how I felt this movie went in circles and didn't progress forward. Like how the songs from the first were re-featured, not in a new feeling way that could be applicable to a new situation but more for the sake of singing the song. Or how the cast of "Wet Side Story" left the real world, then came back to the real world, only to have to leave again. Was that necessary? The earlier tensions between the leads basically dissolved on their own or had no substantial backing. And, of course, I hated the ending! Mostly because the adventure of the first and second movie is completely wiped from the memory of the leads and they have to start all over again in their relationship because the movie "Wet Side Story" changed. A Whole New Alternate Reality? SMH.In my opinion, this movie missed the mark. They had all the right tools (formula of acting, singing, and dancing) but didn't know how to use the equipment... Sad, really. I wish that Teen Beach Movie was left as a stand-alone or instead the "Wet Side Story" cast was drawn to the real world to show Mac and Brady they are meant to be together in their school lives, through substantial plot, while simultaneously learning about the real world themselves. Oh Well! Another one bites the dust.

joshmh1992 I saw Teen Beach 2 only one time. The one time I saw it made me angry because it was a horrible movie. All the songs were at best forgettable. This was the worst sequel ever (and I thought More American Graffiti and Grease 2 were bad). If you thought Grease 2 was bad try watching this movie. In fact I wouldn't waste my time watching it at all. That's two hours of my life I will never get back. There was absolutely no connection to the first movie. There were WAY too many contradictions. Teen Beach 2 never should've been made at all. The first Teen Beach Movie was much better. It should've been a stand alone movie. Give me the first Teen Beach Move any day

TxMike I saw the first one, 'Teen Beach', about a year ago. Back then I wrote in part, " I found it totally fun to watch, with its playing on the time-travel themes and real people influencing characters in a movie." Now I can say the same for this one. For what it is, for what it tries to do, it is a very nicely entertaining movie.Most of the cast are the same actors in the same roles but the time- travel reversed. The young actors are talented and energetic and the movie has several nice singing and dancing production numbers. It is a nice throw-back to the beach movies of the 1960s when I was an actual teenager. In the first movie Ross Lynch as Brady and his new girlfriend Maia Mitchell as Mack are on the surf and magically get transported to their favorite movie, they have encounters with the characters, much as the twins do in "Pleasantville." In this movie the opposite happens, one of the girls in the movie finds Mack's lost necklace and it magically transports her and her boyfriend into Brady and Mack's world. Those two are Grace Phipps as Lela and Garrett Clayton as Tanner.Much like in both "Pleasantville" and in "Purple Rose of Cairo" the characters only knew what was contained in the various scripts and had to learn most modern stuff anew. Like what a cell phone is. And, like in "Back to the Future" where Marty's siblings started to fade from a photo when it looked like he might have messed up his parents' getting together, in this movie characters start to disappear when it looks like Lela and Tanner like their new world too much and might not travel back to the characters in the movie.And there is yet another wrinkle, if they don't go back then the movie might never exist and Brady and Mack would never meet by never seeing the movie. All of this is of course resolved by the end, and like in "Pleasantville", Mack and Brady tell the characters that they don't have to do what they always did, they can change things up.The movie ends with an extravagant production number, the movie is playing on a big screen outdoors in the background while on the beach the cast are dancing and singing on the beach. The real kids and the characters in the movie are doing the same moves, it comes across really well.I saw it on Netflix streaming.

viniciusaugustojp I totally, like totally loved the first movie, I even decorated my room inspired on it, bought everything I could find related to it and dyed my hair blond like Ross.tbm was good because it was better than my expectations, it introduced feminism, some "real world" stuff to Disney Channel, it even made fun of movie clichés! So that year I expected more or the same from tb2 What did I get? A nice story, I have to say, more feminism, but it seems the producers made it so much childish!!!! The songs are for small children, some ridiculous "comedy scenes" like Tanner with a kitchen sink and everybody saying "Oh Tanner". Like, my 6 year old sister laughed at it, differently from the first T.B which I found funny.In summary, this movie has some kind of nice story but the end that I also found ridiculous and just a way to finish it fast and avoid a tb3, the songs are too much, very, a lot childish like the movie itself, more than it should be and much more than the tbm! I just hope Disney fix all that with a tb3 (no idea how they would do that), more for teens and less for 7-year old kids.
