Frenemies

Best friends Halle, a sober nerd, and Avalon, a preppy fashonista, see the chance to turn their Geek Chic fashion blog into a magazine when a major publisher discovers them and sees the power of reaching young people that the blog has. However, their friendship is tested when they receive the news that only one of them will be an editor, starting a war to show who has the most talent - even worth dirty games and going over friendship.

Bella Thorne and Zendaya acting together in the same film, all little girls, read too much, three basic, silly and cute little stories about teenage rivalry, love, friendships, professions, in short, superable and watchable... And the worst, the third and last story, the most cliché of all, it was the one I disliked the least, jeez...

I love disney but this was an awful film with awful acting (thank goodness they've gotten better since). it was cheesy in a bad way. i honestly don't know why i watched it all the way to the end

Shake It Up Stars Belle Thorne and Zendaya and Stefanie Scott of ANT Farm star in this latest Disney Studio teen offering Frenemies. It's a tribute to today texting culture. And it's a trilogy.

Act I is your boy and dog story with Nick Robinson as a science geek and his best friend, his dog Murray who is real intuitive and smarter than a lot of people. Also he's a good judge of character as he spots how shallow teen queen Scott is and the girl for him is Mary Mouser. After all anyone who is an animal lover has got plenty going for them.

Taking center stage in Act II are bloggers Belle Thorne and Zendaya who go to school with Robinson, Scott, and Mouser and have recorded their story for posterity. The two best girl buds are put to an acid test when they compete for a position with Jessalyn Wanlim's magazine and her character is a light version of Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. Will friendship trump ambition? This is a Disney Studio production so you know the answer.

The third Act is a female version of The Prince And The Pauper as Mary Mouser meets her rich teen princess look alike and both decide they'd like to live the other's life and do for a week. The consequences aren't quite like the Mark Twain story where the fate of a kingdom was in the balance. Still with a high school musical type finale it all ends on a high note.

Not a bad film, I liked the first story best, but then again I'm a cat lover and no one comes between him and me.

Okay, I won't lie; this movie made me chuckle a few times. But at the end of the day it was stupid, trashy nonsense and I'm not just saying that because it's a film aimed at kids. You can watch much better movies with your children. I'd even recommend "High School Musical" over this garbage.

Some of the messages it sends out are bizarre. Best friends are great and all but are you really going to let friendship get in the way of a huge career opportunity? And why did the first mindless tween let his dog get in the way of a relationship? Granted, it wasn't a very healthy relationship, but who knows how many more times he's going to put his dog before actual people? And as for act three... well, I don't even have to go into that. It was a total rip-off of "The Parent Trap." This film is a cliché storm and compared to this, "Camp Rock" looks like "The Godfather." By all means, skip it.

Well Disney Channel you just made a very cliché movie with characters that are stereotypes instead of being unlikable, most of the jokes in this movie are not funny, this movie tries too hard to make you laugh but in the end it fails miserably, at least the soundtrack is alright but this is one of the worst Disney movies from 2012 along with Secret Of The Wings, if you want to watch a better movie from 2012 go watch Brave, Wreck It Ralph and Frankenweenie they are better movies than this unfunny movie, not only is the worst movie ever made by Disney Channel along with Teen Beach, Kim Possible (2019) and The Thirteenth Year but also very boring if you ask me.
