Chante, danse, aime

In true Disney style this movie could not be further from reality but that does not mean that it's not entertaining. It's fun, cutesy and very fairytale like. It's filmed in beautiful locations and the sets are extravagant and luxe. Perfect if your looking for a nice escape. Probably the biggest shortcoming is that there isn't much substance to the film. While this isn't a major problem it makes the story feel less genuine.

Word to the wise - if you don't like musicals then don't watch this movie. Most scenes are filled with sugary sweet fun song and dance numbers. Sadly the singing was not very strong but the song choices were good. I was also impressed with Chelsea Kane's acting skills, she seems perfectly suited to this type of role and is vivacious and captivating. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and it left me feeling elated and content.

When I want a movie that simply entertains, I am often disappointed with a movie with foul language or a dark movie when I was promised a comedy. This movie was an absolutely delightful surprise in that it entertained from start to finish. The effects and scenes were not silly but sweet and the music and dancing were icing on the cake. Good acting all around and solid light-hearted entertainment.

Okay, I kind of loved this movie. The song sequences were great, and I loved all the dancing, mostly because I can't dance to save my life and it fascinates me to watch other people do it. I like how it gets right up into the meat of the plot really quickly - HOWEVER, I didn't like how long it took for her husband to come on the scene and how short a time Drew Seeley was there. He was the main reason I watched it and I was really disappointed by that. I think it would have been interesting had they explored the concept of her becoming young forever more thoroughly; to me it seemed like a thrown-in point that resolved itself too quickly, and left it up for a sequel. (Maybe they find another bottle?) And maybe it could be about where the bottle came from in the first place, too.

Love, love, LOVE this movie. Love me some Drew Seeley!

Amazing musical! Amazing acting! Makes you laugh and cry! Makes you want to sing and dance!!!
