Taking 5 - Una Rock Band in Ostaggio

I went into this expecting a preteen cute film and that's exactly what I got. Its about two best friends that are "in love" with a band and some chaos ensues for them to meet/get them to play for them. I think the actors did great and thought it was a very cute funny Film. Also if anyone that was a fan of One Direction wants to watch this please do it was like every One Direction fans story on Wattpad. I will also say people rating this low seem to be expecting this high quality deep meaning film and its legit about two besties fangirling over there favorite band its not gonna be the most amazing film to date.

Key things - Cute, Funny, relatable in a sense, overall just good.

The first time I watched it somehow I came away from it thinking it was unironically good, but I was embarrassed making that claim and rewatching it with a different viewing audience as it's definitely more of the ironically good variety. Still, it's crazy, entertaining, sometimes stupid, and worth a watch with anyone who enjoys bad, campy movies.

It also is quite shocking as it doesn't pull any punches; I guess because it was a DVD release and not on a kids channel. When they kidnap the band members, They REALLY kidnap them, tied down, gagged, the lot. They drug a driver. They steal a car. And there's a scene where a main character attempts to seduce one of the band members; while the actress was overage she truly looked young and the character is a minor in the story.. so yeah. Gross.

Still, it's a unique experience watching an honest-to-god boyband kidnap movie, and I can't imagine not being entertained by watching this. And the film is nostalgic due to the time period; I think they really did capture the intense zeal that teens had for boy band members back when boy bands were still a thing. Oddly enough, this came out in 2007, in a period far removed from the N'Sync/Backstreet phenomena of 1997-2002 and yet far away from the future One Direction craziness of 2011-2014.

I didn't see the movie but this is the movie Mr kate meet her husband/boyfriend in set wile filming that was cool

I recommend this movie. Eric looks really hot in this movie and I miss him. The acting wasn't bad at all. I loved Alona and Eric and the rest of the characters as well. They looked so cute together. They have that spark and chemistry. I was giggling and screaming at the couch with my sisters. XD It's a great movie. Way better than I expected.The plot is kinda shallow but it's really entertaining so it kinda makes up for it. Lots of stupid and really funny scenes. I loved the RMLF part. I'm so gonna buy this DVD and watch it all over again. (X I give it a 10. I kept laughing my ass off the entire movie. Hope you watch it. It's not corny and cheesy at all. (:

Devon (Alona Tal) and Gabby (Daniella Monet) are in love with boy band 5 Leo Rise. Lincoln has known Devon forever, but she can't take his constant attention. To get the band to play at the school dance, the girls have gathered a ton of juice labels for a contest. They accidentally burn all the labels and everybody at school starts picking on them. They try to talk to the band but it turns out that they're a bunch of jerks. So they come up with a plan to kidnap the band with the help of the master prankster Lincoln and Pete.

I love Alona Tal. Daniella Monet sometimes comes off as whiny. In this, the two girls make a great best friend duo. They're the only good thing in this movie. The band's acting abilities are limited. The movie is pretty weak. It oscillates between silly and stupid. Silly is fine. Stupid is not. Overall, the movie has some charms but that's mostly due to the girls.
