Teen Beach 2

I've never seen teen beach 1, but I was thoroughly entertained by this movie. It was not what I was expecting at all. I thought it was smart and funny, and at times a little cheesy. I've had the last song stuck in my head all day. I was laughing out loud at the '60s scenes. Maia Mitchell is a babe, and Ross Lynch seems like a really likable, talented guy.

I was expecting a sappy love story, but i was pleasantly surprised by the story line. Tanner, in the commercials, had me rolling my eyes because I didn't know he was supposed to be from the 60s, but his character was actually really funny, I loved the obliviousness and the intentional overacting in the 60s scenes. I loved the last song and I could watch Maia Mitchell dance to it all day.

Liked the song 'on my own' it was very good the rest however... I have not seen because I hav something called dignity ;)

Teen beach movie was amazing when it came out, personally I loved it. Teen beach 2 had potential. But then they had to really mess up the ending. The music was not as good in this one or the plot, which was a bit disapointing, I will never forgive them for how they ended the movie. Ever.

This sequel to Teen Beach Movie by the Disney Studio strays more into fantasy than the original. The original film dealt with a pair of fans from today who think the original movie from the early Kennedy era Sixties is the greatest piece of cinema ever made. Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell step into the world of that movie and change things just by being there and then have to leave, but not before repairing all the damage they've done.

Teen Beach 2 is exactly the opposite. The lead characters from the film Garret Clayton and Grace Phipps step into the real world and their Sixties frame of mind gets quite a culture shock when they see the world of 2015. Pretty soon however the whole cast even the extras come over into the real world. Like characters from the Holodeck of the Enterprise. And those folks meet an inevitable end when they venture beyond their Holodeck world.

Now it's Clayton and Phipps who turn things upside down and have to get back to their world.

The film actually asks some intriguing questions but in the end you have to remember this is a Disney film and meant for juvenile audiences who don't think so terribly deep. The performers are scrubbed clean and fresh and are attractive as you would expect anything from the Magic Kingdom to be.

It's obvious that Disney Studios is going to stretch this out like they did with the High School Musical series. Here's an interesting thought though. In the movie if the real players who were Clayton and Phipps when they were younger, if they're not dead would now be even older than I am and on social security.

What if their 2015 selves met Clayton and Phipps? Turn that one over in your mind for a third Teen Beach movie.

Summer is over. Mack (Maia Mitchell) decides to stay at her high school with Brady (Ross Lynch). Their friends don't get their relationship with their differences. Brady gets jealous. Movie characters, Lela (Gracie Gillam) and Tanner (Garrett Clayton), suddenly show up in the real world.

The idea may be to do the reverse of the first movie, but they still are doing a high school musical. They could have made Lela and Tanner get acclimated with different styles of music. I get the easier move is continuing the high school musical style of movies. It would be so much more daring to go outside the box, but that's never going to happen.
