Jump in!

I thought this movie was OK... I mean it was everything I would've expected, but from the previews they kind of gave most of it away... the story never left its predictable plot line. The actors... well... they were OK... it wasn't 2007's golden globe nominee performance... if you know what I mean. So there's the whole boxing thing and then he finds his heart in double dutch... yea... OK... and of course they win the competition in the end and everyone's merry or whatever... But you know you can't really expect much from typical Disney movies... I thought it was realistic... at points... and it was a great story... but... shall I say... BORING? Keke Palmer is a great actress... and she was OK in this movie too... but it wasn't her best. Same for Corbin Bleu. Don't get me wrong, the movie was good... non-original... but GOOD... Just WAAAYYY WAAAAAY too predictable. For those of you who haven't seen this yet, you're not in for a mind-boggling story. Ugh, I mean it was decent and enjoyable... I guess... but couldn't they have at least added some twist to it? COME ON!!!

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.

I thought the movie was a very good family movie. Corbin & Keke did a great job. The movie obviously worked around the "double dutch" but I would have liked to see a little more about Izzy's family situation. Kylee Russell as his little sister was a perfect match, because they could truly be siblings.

The interaction of the main characters was great. Keke and Corbin worked well together and the supporting characters were very enterataining. There appeared to be a lot of chemistry, which made the movie flow very naturally. I thought that Kylee Russell did a really good job. She seemed to have the right spunk as the little sister of a "cute and popular" big brother. I hope they do a sequel and spend a little more time with Izzy and Karin.

Overall I thought this was a really good Disney movie. Most of the people I talked to really enjoyed it. And thought it was just a nice movie to watch with the kids.

GOOD JOB Disney.

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.

Out of all the Disney Channel movies I've seen, this one is by far the best. It even outranks High School Musical on my list! The plot line was well developed and had a message kids can learn from. The movie had a fitting blend of humor and seriousness, and I thought that the actors were all wonderful! Some scenes could have been delivered better, but nobody's perfect. I also really admire Corbin for playing a double dutcher. Sure, you can argue that he's an actor and it's his job, but even so, he could have refused the part. Anyway, back to my main point... The stereotype in the movie that girls are the only ones who jump rope is, unfortunately, present in real life, and I think that this movie showed people that yes, boys can double dutch. My little brother thought the double dutch was cool, and for him, that's impressive.

Although the main focus of the movie was on Izzy and his double dutch dilemma, my favorite character was Tammy. I think that she was the most inspirational character out of all of them, for girls at least. Not only is she a female athlete in a male-dominant sport, but she also helps Izzy realize where his heart lies. I guess she really does have "a good head on her shoulders." Girls should try to be more like Tammy and less like Barbie. Call me a feminist, but it's true.

Overall, this movie was extraordinary! Next time it's on Disney, grab a few friends and watch it together. You'll like it, I promise!!
