The Cheetah Girls

This movie was the best movie Raven has done. It has a great message for teenage girls and guys who think they have a chance in the music business. The Cheetah Girls can sing and they can dance. That is the perfect thing that makes success.

As a child I loved this film. But as an adult; I am now noticing things in & about the characters in the film that just don't add up.. Someone or multiple someone's changed the ethnicity of one of the characters in the story from the 1st film to the 2nd.

This is another made-for-TV film and as such is a film that is not high on intellectual output but, if you just sit down and as with Charlies Angels 1 and 2 (the ones with Cameron Diaz, Bill Murray etc.) leave your brain at the door and just enjoy the film for what it is (which is a film about four mid to late teens trying to make it big as self-choreographed (by one of the group members) singers in the music industry) then you should have no problem liking or even loving the film.

The film centres on four teenagers (the characters' ages not the actresses) but around them is the usual thoroughfare that is seen in these types of films. There was the unscrupulous record boss that wanted to change them and their style. There was the mother/manager that against her better judgement allowed her daughter and the group to almost get done by him and there was the silly ending that brought the girls back together after one was even less willing to follow the boss's ideas even more than the other three and walked away from the group. The other three eventually decided she was right and also left but by then the group was no more until the silly ending that is. Knowing and accepting that it was following the usual plot lines for this type of film meant it could be enjoyed and yes the second one was better but this one was by no means as bad as others have made it out to be. 8 out of 10 for me.

The Cheetah Girls was not that bad. In fact the movie was good until the dog fell into the hole. Now come on!!! They would have done better if one of the girls' younger siblings or something would have fell. It would have been more dramatic. But a damn dog!!!!!! That's the part that got me. And I couldn't understand a word of Raven's father's accent. I liked the singing and everything else.

All in all a 4* out of 10

The plot was good,also the story, but the acting, my god it sucked the ocean. It was very unrealistic and the script made no sense. All We heard was Cheetah this, Cheetah That. It had nothing to do the context. for example" The girl who was a foster kid crying to her friend about her life, feeling unwanted" I expected the friend to comfort her saying, its ok, It doesnt matter who you are, I still think you're special. but Her response was some load about being a cheetah girl from your heart, then some utterance in spanish ......

I think the movie is trying to hard to sound kool and sound like a diva. The acting looks too staged, to overdramatic and the names are wacked.... When I saw the preview I thought it would've been good... What A dissapointment. Anyone who says this movie is good,is either sipping on a yack or being paid to say so... my opinion.
