Mon incroyable anniversaire: Le film

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.

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.

A movie based off of one of the most notorious MTV shows of all time? How bad could it be?

Simply put, it's not good at all. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are plot holes such as one of the main characters explicitly stating that she is vegan and then eating ice cream towards the end of the film. Compounding upon these issues, the script is pretty lackluster though the actors still give it their all. And the cinematography can be described as awkward in some scenes. Not to mention the obvious overdubbing at at least one point. All in all, the movie falls flat, not only due to its technical imperfections, but right down to its very plot. Throughout the film, the main characters emotionally manipulate their parents in order to get them to spend exorbitant amounts of money on their parties. Not much character growth occurs during the film, with the main characters not deviating much from their typical character archetypes.

One of the only bright spots was the music used in the movie, although the film does not commit to playing many of these songs in their entirety. Also, I have to give the writers credit for including at least one brave political hot take. At one point in the film, a character mentions a certain region in the PRC that has suffered much during recent history. I must give this film props for its courage to call out a formidable adversary. But, the few positives of this film do not outweigh the many negatives. MTV should have stuck with music videos.

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
