Les Cheetah Girls

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.

I didnt like the plot at all. It was pulled off alright, though...the movie did have many flaws..I give it a 2/5. First thing, i dont like the plot because its about four greedy girls who want fame, each in their own way. Raven's character was just selfish throughout the whole thing..and then when you think you have the characters figured out..the other three girls go and sellout. Next, lots of acting flaws...mainly the LIP SYNCHING. It became extremely obvious when they werent actually singing..i mean, lip synching is bad enough..but they couldnt do it. Then, the 3LW girls acted alright, though they did overact a lot unnecessary facial expressions ALL THE TIME)..a common acting flaw..nothing major. Other than the plot, some amateur acting, and other mess ups (guitars not being plugged in [laughed out loud when i saw that]..piano and drum sounds coming out of nowhere during the singing scenes, clean dog in hole becomes dirty when pulled out and then one minute later hes all clean again..)...everything else is done alright. I'd recommend this to younger viewers..older viewers would probably laugh at how fake the movie is...i know i did.

NOTE: I gave the movie a 2 based on the acting and the production of the movie..not the plot..if i was to rate the plot, i would have said 0..

Well i've seen the movie, and i've got to admit that i'm a big fan of child movies... but this one... god... well i decided to see it because i saw in Barcelona, where i live, that they were filming the Cheetah girls 2 so i wanted to see the first...

Well about the movie, the story is typical some friends.. one dream... well thats fine... all the trama is more or less fine till the end... it's so.. bizarre... that it's impossible to explain without spoiling... i thing they could do the same... but in a different place.. and the end would be much better....

Well nothing else to add...

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.

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.
