Les Soeurs Callum

Pretty Good Disney Channel Movie! Quite funny and not bad acting. One of the better films that Disney Channel has done. 5/10

Taylor Callum (Alyson Michalka) and her slightly younger sister, Courtney (Amanda Michalka) are the daughters of a fairly well-off dairy owner. In such a light, their spending habits are monumental and they even divide up the "color scheme" of their yearly wardrobes so that they don't duplicate any outfit between them. Yet, one day, even their usually complacent father has reached the end of his rope. Small wonder. Taylor caused a neighbor's truck to end up in a pond and both girls managed to set the kitchen on fire through their carelessness. Father Callum decrees that the girls will work in the family dairy to pay for their mistakes. This is indeed a harsh punishment, as the girls know nothing about the "work ethic" and are astounded to find that they have to get up at 5:30 am and work eight hours a day! Yet, when their father goes on an extended vacation, the dairy suddenly takes a downward turn, thanks to some skullduggery by one of the high ranking employees. It is up to the girls to figure out how to save the jobs and the essence of their father's business. Can they do it, even as Taylor attention is diverted towards a local dairy farmer's son and Courtney has her eye on a handsome foreign exchange student and her debutante ball? This is a charming film aimed at young girls and their families but, truly, enjoyable for females of almost any age. The two young stars have their "clueless" act down pat and the other performers are quite nice, too, especially the good-looking young males that are the object of the girls' affections. The dairy country setting is lovely beyond words and is another reason to see the film, absolutely. All other production values are high as well. However, on the costuming, the girls' outfits are of, sadly, the now-normal, far-from-modest variety (lowcut tops and short skirts) that might make the film objectionable for some viewers. Yet, the movie's heart is in the right place as its lessons of hard work, perseverance, and thinking of others are a top priority. If you are looking for a "nice" film to show a girl-oriented audience, this one rings up as a true winner. For, truly, females from 10 to 80 and beyond will find the flick to be a "mother's milk" for their romantic souls

Cow Belles is a charming Disney Channel film starring real life sisters Alyson and Amanda Michalka playing a pair of rich sisters whose father, Jack Coleman operates a dairy plant. They're not bad girls, but their widowed father spoils them to death.

Before he leaves on a long needed vacation that is Coleman's number 2 guy at the plant, Michael Rhoades, has been urging on him to take in fact he gives him the money to do it, Coleman has both the girls actually get real jobs at the plant to see how the working folks really live.

The Michalka sisters get a lot more than they bargain for when the paychecks at the plant bounce because, Rhoades emptied the accounts of the business and ran off. They get quite a life's lesson in the realities of life and both develop a social conscience if not at the same time.

They even snag a pair of boyfriends Alyson teams with farm kid Michael Trevino and Amanda finds herself a French exchange student, Christian Gallinger.

Cow Belles is a pretty good film from the Magic Kingdom, nothing deep or profound, but in its own light way touching on some serious issues.

Taylor (Aly Michalka) and Courtney Callum (AJ Michalka) are spoiled materialistic débutantes. Courtney has her expensive cotillion ball coming up. Taylor has nice car. Then the girls' irresponsibility burn the kitchen. Their dad (Jack Coleman) sent the girls to work at the family dairy business to learn some values. They are horrible at their jobs and worry more about themselves. While their father is away, the dairy gets into trouble after a lot of money disappears. The girls have to put aside their selfishness and save the business without their father.

Simply put, the production looks poor and the girls are too selfish for too long especially Courtney. The girls are good enough actors for a simple Disney TV movie but don't expect much more. Their house is not nice enough for the girls to be that spoiled. They don't look outrageously wealthy but they certainly act like it. Courtney is just too annoyingly clueless for far too long in the movie. There are too many things in this movie that seems to be tone deaf. It's not that good even considering the lower expectations.

I thought this movie would be awful but I was wrong.Aly & AJ's acting was fine & the rest of the cast's too.This movie is about the spoiled Callum sisters who are forced to work at their father's dairy.Their father is gone on vacation & it's up to Taylor & Courtney to save the day by trying to find their father's missing money.

After seeing this movie I bought Aly & AJ's CD Into the Rush because I liked the song On the Ride so much!

I am glad this movie is coming out on DVD June 27.The only thing that I didn't like movie was(for some reason)the name.

I actually didn't get to see the ending but the rest of the movie was fine.

I give this movie 9/10.
