Status Update

Looking at this film from the perspective of its target audience, which is basically teens/young adults, It quite a solid film. A story about being true to yourself, but its told in a unique way. Actors did fine, plot was well written if maybe slightly over the top at times. Its hard to write a film about wishes coming true because the wording of any wish can always be open to interpretation, but I think Status Update captures the magic of it quite well. The pace is good, Cinematics fine for a lower budget film. I wouldn't call it an overly funny film, although it does have its moments.

If you or your children like Glee, then you will probably like this. Its worth a watch if you like the Teenage Fantasy genre and a bit of fun; But not one for serious critics, hence some of the previous reviews.

Don't kid yourself, this is a Disney movie without the mouse influence. Yes it's a bit formulaic and predictable. But it's well done. A nice family movie with a few swear words.

It's the first time I review movie here and that's because I believe it's underestimated. Very cool movie.

Ross Lynch and Olivia Holt's chemistry in this movie, especially the Bruno Mars scene, is insane. My daughter and I watched that cafeteria dance scene more times than I can count. He's so confidant, charismatic and talented. Olivia Holt is also quite the singer. Entertaining movie for it's intended target audience. Take it for what it is and just have fun watching it.

Movie in overall wasn't the best, there were also some issues with voiceovers, but the soundtrack was terrific. Especially "Drowning". What a shame it isn't in spotify. Would listen to it 24/7.
