It's the Danforth Academy boarding school. Abby is jealous of new girl Paige but she happens to be her assigned roommate. Abby sends her away and keeps Claire. Paige finds Taylor as her new roommate. Someone threatens to make the cheerleaders sick and then it actually happens. Next the soccer team is threatened and the four girls investigate.
The production is lower grade. It's a lot of young tween amateur actors. Jennette McCurdy is the only one to make the big times and she seems to be retired now. Such is the lottery odds of show business. This is a bit of Nancy Drewing going on in this movie. The writing and directing is kids TV level. I actually like Abby's character journey with Paige but most of the characters are rather simplistic. This is really only a movie for young girls at best.

In my humble opinion, this is a film that will only be liked by those of a certain age group, most probably pre-teens. The film is not intended for all age group, and as such, those who are way older than the targeted age group, would not like this film that much.
The acting wasn't that great, probably because the cast are not experience in acting, and they may have problems to portray their acting into a more believable manner.
Having said that, I think their acting is quite good. And the storyline wasn't that bad either. The storyline were not focused at times, but I don't find to be bothersome.
Again, this film is may not be enjoyed by everyone, but only to those in the pre-teens age group. As for me, I don't find it my liking, but my nieces love it.

Watched this movie with my two tweenage girls today. They love iCarly and Jennette McCurdy and so they made me buy it. I thought it was a pretty good movie. They loved it. One of them is watching it again right now.
While it's not going to win an emmy, it's a decent movie. It was better than some of the silly over the top stuff that you see on Disney and Nick.
Jennette McCurdy is a talented young star and no doubt will go on to bigger things in the future. She did a nice job in the movie. My girls are huge fans of hers.
The rest of the cast did a good job too.I rate it a 7 out of 10.

The plot is pretty good. Nothing unique but the movie is fun and entertaining for kids about age 6-13.
My grandkids love the actress who plays Mia in the movie, she's on iCarly and they love that show.
The other characters in the movie were good. My grandkids liked all the characters in the movie especially the kid with the red hair and all the hives, and the coach who talks with an Indian accent.
My favorite was Professor Plume. He was a hoot!
I rate it an 8 out of 10 because there aren't too many movies I can let my grandkids watch while they are at my house. It kept them happy for a couple of hours and that makes me happy!

Okay, so I saw this movie when I was younger and fell in love with it. Years later, I realize that it's pretty flawed.
First off, the acting isn't that great. Edwards and Meyers seemed to be the worst out of all of them , and I'm pretty sure they only got the roles because their moms wrote it. The girl that played Riley (mean black girl) played the role well, but you could tell she was nervous. Emma Duke was just...bad. Like she's the definition of a child actor. But despite this, they all play their characters, for what they are, pretty decently.
The writing is really weird and awkward sometimes. To the point where it's almost distracting.
But I appreciate this movie because of the direction and the fact that the cast looked like they were actually having fun. The director obviously had a vision and the way the characters act is just...I don't know, fun and charming to watch.
If you hate cliché tween movies, probably avoid this. If you're a girl or someone who likes girl movies, then maybe give this a try. When I need something simple to watch, I usually go to this movie.
