Bad Hair Day

DC had been promoting this movie for a long time. Disney movies are often hit or miss and if you are not an eleven year old girl they often are not enjoyable. However, I thought this movie was very good for TV.

The plot was generally believable. The two main characters were well acted and had a great chemistry. The movie was well written and the plot was more solid than most kid movies. Also the villain was believable as a real criminal. The banter between the kid and cop actually was funny and kept me watching a rather formulaic cop/kid movie.

The movie should have ended about five minutes sooner than it did, but it had less of the sappiness that most DCOMs have. The movie reminded me more of the old, old Disney movies from the 60's and 70's such as That Darn Cat, which I think it is a good thing.

Hence, if nothing better is on I would recommend it for watching one of the five hundred times they play it in the next year.

The 96th Disney Channel Original Movie. I am watching it quite late, because I'm not a regular follower of the Disney Channel films, but have seen many of them and I had enjoyed. Surely the target audience for this is the kids and mostly the girls. But I liked it as well. The story wise, it is simple like just one day event. A high school girl preparing for the prom night, wakes up in the morning, finds her hair got messed up. Now she has to fix it and the problem is the appointment in the saloon and how to reach there since she has no vehicle or the license.

There's another side of the story. A pretended cop joins her in the quest in return a favour. So it's not just girl stuff, there are some actions. Running, chasing, theft, boyfriend trouble, the films have all the ingredient to enjoy the whole 90 minutes. Good casting and the performances, but I find some comedies are so silly. For a television and aiming for minors, everything looks fair. Just because we're being adult, we expect realism. If you throw away your that mindset while watching it, you would surely have a nice time. My rating might look only a just above average, but that's not how I felt. This is a nice film, like most of the DCOM. So go for it.

6/10

It may sound a little misogynistic, but I love little girls' films, female subjects interest me, mother and daughter relationship, here everything is very cute, portrayed in a light, fun and intelligent way... With an investigative, comical, exaggeratedly silly touch, but totally passionate...

Monica (Laura Marano) is a high school senior. She uses social media and her programming skills to be popular in her quest to be prom queen. Her day starts with bad hair after a full day of hair poll. Private investigator Liz (Leigh-Allyn Baker) comes looking for an antique neckless which Monica had bought from a pawn shop. Monica is willing to trade it for a driver.

Neither of the characters are appealing. They try to be a funny duo and sometimes their bickering hits a good spot. The mother daughter bit is kind of funny. I wish for a better setup. With a different premise, this duo could work. It's a slightly above average Disney TV.

In this story a girl, Monica's hair, dress and shoes are ruined for the prom. The only thing not ruined is a necklace which she bought from a pawn shop. Monica meets a woman, Liz who wants the necklace which Monica has. I think this is a very funny movie. I wanted second part of this movie. I think everyone should go for it.
