Super Sweet 16: The Movie

Im usually a fan of chick flicks, in fact i love them. But this movie was truly made-for-TV junk. I fell to sleep no less than 3 times throughout the whole affair, and couldn't wait for the movie to end. The acting was awful, the plot - even worse, and the annoying thing was,, the two main actresses, AL and aj kept plugging their mediocre music for all it was worth. There were even "guest appearances" (so my sister tells me, but for the life of me i had no idea who these people were) from past guests of the show "my super sweet 16". Just because your family owns a few million should not give you the right to think you can act when you clearly cant! Overall a no-go

When two lifelong best friends are reunited after one spends a year at boarding school, their friendship is tested by a popular senior that wants to take over control of their sweet sixteen party.

The plot is very simple and has been done many times before. For an MTV movie, the actors were pretty good, except for Sarah's love interest Shannon (Brendan Miller), and an over-the-top and ultimately just irritating party coordinator played by Debra Wilson of Mad TV fame.

To go off on a tangent about poor writing, Sarah (Amanda Michalka) is a student activist that makes a big deal about taking cheese off of her pizza because she's a vegan, but has no problem eating ice-cream. And poor writing for her character also leads to her cheese-free comment of "I don't eat anything with a face"... Sorry, but cheese doesn't have a face, nor does the milk that it is made from.

Much of the dialogue is corny, and the character personas are overdone. The time between what they begin as and what they "become" happens too quickly without any transitional period. It's probably the best effort they could have made to turn an MTV reality show into a feature-length scripted movie. Overall, if you keep your expectations low, you might enjoy it. Maybe.

I enjoyed this movie and watching these two best friends plan their sweet sixteens and compete over which one would have the better party. I find the things they must go through to make their parties "perfect" to be amusing. I think my favorite part of the movie was when the band Hellogoodbye performed. They are one of my favorite bands and it was absolutely amazing to see them make an appearance in the My Super Sweet Sixteen movie. Hellogoodbye definitely made the movie worth loving for me. I think that anyone who would find spoiled kids throwing fits and tantrums over their sweet sixteen parties to be humorous should definitely check out the show and movie! It would not be a waste of time to check it out!

I caught this on TV tonight, regrettably. I can't name a single good thing about it. So let's point out the negatives: poor direction, rubbish acting and really (i mean REALLY!) 2D characters. I wasn't impressed by that Lindsay Lohan flick Mean Girls, but that was fantastic in comparison. The story centres around the most awesome hero ev-err(!), Miss Philanthropist Blonde who's a vegan environmentalist, and who doesn't care about fashion, etc. Basically a typical delusion of the less socially successful. And everyone sees she's better than her fashion-mad rival, Miss Dumb Blonde. But when her best friend joins her school, Miss Philanthropist is appalled to see her friend (from a racial minority, of course!) is impressed by Miss Dumb. What's more she can see Miss Dumb is using her friend! O M G (as Miss Dumb would somewhat annoyingly say). The film is ridiculously lazy: everything is 100% PC, as well as regurgitated, bizarrely, from similar terrible films. But none so bad as this, and the only excuse for watching it is if you want to delude yourself. I hate these films myself but if you're considering watching this, go watch Mean Girls instead. If you have taste, avoid all films aimed at WASP teenage girls. Thank you and goodnight.

This movie has a great storyline, but they play way too much in between a PG and PG-13 rating, they honestly tried a little too hard. Cassie Steele and Paula De'Anda carried the film, and their parts should have been more fulfilled. Ally and AJ seriously should have demanded rewrites in the script to better their rivalry chemistry, but the music of the movie was the highlight of it all, along with wardrobe and location sets.
