Jump In!

Previews of HSM's Corbin Bleu jumping double dutch made us want to catch the replay broadcast of this Disney Original Movie. I never really thought that double dutch is a serious sport for some people. I have never even seen anyone jumping double dutch in real life where I live. The conflict of Corbin's character Izzy to be a boxer (as the dream of his ex-boxer dad) versus that of being a double dutch jumper (thought to be a sissy girls' sport) has been tackled in so many other youth fims, not the least of which was High School Musical itself. But the leads are very talented and engaging. And furthermore, I was very entertained by the music, dancing and jump rope skills displayed in this movie.

This is the only movie I've seen that practice Double Dutch, it's nice to see a different sport. I remember me watching this as a kid and jumping all day long with my siblings. It is a very entertaining movie for kids, and I'm sure young adults can resist it. The songs are good and the pacing works, it's not boring. Good message, the story is predictable, yes, but still fun to watch with kids.

Corbin Bleu was locked into the Disney machine from 2006 through 2007, starring in three of the biggest Disney Channel Original Movies in two years. "Jump In!" shares the common DCOM plot trope of a character being torn between conflicting passions and societal gender expectations-similar to the "High School Musical" films-but introduces enough unique elements to set it apart.

Having Keke Palmer as the supporting lead greatly elevates the performance quality of this as a TV movie; she and Bleu have impressive chemistry for such young actors. The inclusion of multiple original, earworm songs might not have been strictly necessary, but it helps solidify "Jump In!" as a top-tier DCOM.

I really enjoyed sitting down and watching this movie. In my opinion the girl who played Karin did not act well. Her lines were over rehearsed and she showed no emotion. Keke palmer's acting was shaky but good. Corbin's was exceptionally well and so was his father. This movie was cool fun and nice to watch. I wished it was longer. I was amazed at how many African-Americans were in the movie. I loved who narrated the movie and how they showed us who it was in the end. I recommend you all to sit on the couch and watch this family-friendly, funny, and truly meaningful movie. It teaches good values and morals and the importance of solving things peacefully.

This product from the Disney Studios finds young Corbin Bleu taking center stage as a young Golden Gloves boxer who joins a jump rope competition with a bunch of girls. Naturally something like this is going to raise some eyebrows, especially among the group he travels with.

There are some who might say Corbin should have been the one starring in those High School Musical flicks and in Jump In, Corbin shows what he can do in a starring role. He certainly has the moves for boxing, dancing, and for double dutch jump roping.

Corbin Bleu is one of the more winning personalities that come out of the Magic Kingdom currently and he and Keke Palmer make a very nice young couple on the screen. Corbin even got a hit song out of the film, Push It To The Limit, a motto to use in both boxing and double dutch.

You could do a lot worse than this film and the Magic Kingdom has on occasion.
