Super Sweet 16: The Movie

My friends forced me to watch Super Sweet 16: The Movie with them yesterday. It's the usual teen chick flick, but it isn't one of the good ones. The acting was nearing miserable, mostly due to Brendan Miller, who looked so "All-American-Football-Jock" it was way hard to believe he was supposed to be a documentary-crazed nerd type. But he does serve well as eye-candy. Aly is fine as Taylor Tiara, the super-rich popular girl who tries to break up the friendship of Jacquie and Sarah, the environment-conscious vegan AJ plays.

The production qualities are great and the story is fun, though.

My Advice: Skip this movie and watch some chick flicks that are actually good. (Mean Girls, Heathers, She's the Man...)

well I too was forced to watch this pathetic waste of a movie, Aly and AJ played convincing roles as did Cassie Steele (better known for her role as Manny Santos on the Smash Canadian Hit TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation) but all in all the movie was more or less like a really long, extremely fake episode of My Super Sweet 16. this movie is almost as bad as every other MTV Presents movies... including that one MTV endorsed American Pie movie... unless you really like chick flicks this movie isn't one for the family. or a movie you'd go out on a date to watch for that matter. you'd be much better off spending the money on the new Indiana Jones movie then this waste of time, talent and not to mention Hollywood tax dollars.. personally i feel bad for Cassie Steele... due to the fact that she's the only really acting talent in this movie and she gets such a small unnoticeable role

Im usually a fan of chick flicks, in fact i love them. But this movie was truly made-for-TV junk. I fell to sleep no less than 3 times throughout the whole affair, and couldn't wait for the movie to end. The acting was awful, the plot - even worse, and the annoying thing was,, the two main actresses, AL and aj kept plugging their mediocre music for all it was worth. There were even "guest appearances" (so my sister tells me, but for the life of me i had no idea who these people were) from past guests of the show "my super sweet 16". Just because your family owns a few million should not give you the right to think you can act when you clearly cant! Overall a no-go

These hip-hop teenagers are the ultimate in excess and self- aggrandisement. I feel dumber for watching this. Stir together consumerism, elitism and a lot of bitches and you have Super Sweet 16. The worst moment was when one girl used lawyers to stop a rival charity fundraiser. Yugh, blech, puke in my hat and then wear it. Seriously don't bother unless you are really shallow. Two girls turn 16 on the same day that I want to close my eyes and die.

When two lifelong best friends are reunited after one spends a year at boarding school, their friendship is tested by a popular senior that wants to take over control of their sweet sixteen party.

The plot is very simple and has been done many times before. For an MTV movie, the actors were pretty good, except for Sarah's love interest Shannon (Brendan Miller), and an over-the-top and ultimately just irritating party coordinator played by Debra Wilson of Mad TV fame.

To go off on a tangent about poor writing, Sarah (Amanda Michalka) is a student activist that makes a big deal about taking cheese off of her pizza because she's a vegan, but has no problem eating ice-cream. And poor writing for her character also leads to her cheese-free comment of "I don't eat anything with a face"... Sorry, but cheese doesn't have a face, nor does the milk that it is made from.

Much of the dialogue is corny, and the character personas are overdone. The time between what they begin as and what they "become" happens too quickly without any transitional period. It's probably the best effort they could have made to turn an MTV reality show into a feature-length scripted movie. Overall, if you keep your expectations low, you might enjoy it. Maybe.
