Good storyline (a used one though), great actors and actresses, excellent costumes, beautiful film location, and catchy songs. The TBM was like a combination of the movies Back To The Future, 17 Again, and West Side Story. I had never really been a huge fan of Ross Lynch before so I had no idea how good this movie was going to be. As I was listening to Ross speaking, I didn't find his voice to be "attractive". But then everybody broke out into singing and I was amazed! I later found out that Ross was the lead singer of a band with his two brothers, sister, and close friend called R5 and now I'm a fan. Anyway, TBM was a great little movie. Can't wait for the sequel! 7/10 stars.
This is a mix of Dirty Dancing, Grease and Cry Baby (any Johnny Depp fans will know what I'm talking about). I find nothing wrong with this movie at all. It's trying to recreate a genre that was forgotten about for quite a while and honestly they have done a pretty good job. Sure it's a little bit silly and the storyline is rather vapid but that is the point. It's supposed to be imitating something not creating something new and groundbreaking.
It probably helps that I personally enjoy musicals but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is a bit more serious. The songs are fun, dorky yet pretty catchy...I dare you to not start singing along. Overall I think it's another decent movie from the team at Disney original movies.

I've always loved this movie for so long and I have watched it at least 20 times. This movie deserves better ratings!!! The songs and choreography are so good. And of course this movie will be a little cheesy since it's a Disney movie. I don't know why I am writing this but ok. I want a Teen Beach 3 since the ending of the second one was really bad.
If you liked the 60's beach movies, Grease and HSM, you might like this too.
Reviewers who want character development, award winning acting and such should lighten up! This is a spoof of the corny, tongue in cheek "Beach" movies of the 60's.
My 7 year old daughter loved the dancing and musical numbers, as did I. It's very corny, the music and dance numbers were surprisingly good. The wardrobe and hair were exactly as goofy as kid might see them if they saw the 60's films now.
It's a fun, entertaining, corny (get it), harmless film....watch it, expect nothing, enjoy it for what is!!

Two years ago my kids were getting very excited about something new coming to the Disney Channel - Teen Beach Movie.
The idea of a Disney musical about kids on the beach sounded kinda lame to me, but I kept getting drawn in as I walked by my kid's room while they watched it.
Finally, I sat down to watch the whole thing ... and watched it with them again, and again, and again. Yes, I'll admit it -- I was a late-40's mom who fell in love with Teen Beach Movie.
Having grown up on Beach Blanket Bingo films, I loved what Disney did with this parody. It's a cute premise that pays homage to the old goofy classics in a really charming way.
It's fun, funny, and the tunes are so catchy, two years later we still break out into them from time to time in our house.
Don't expect ground breaking cinema here, but it's a fun little romp, suitable for the whole family, that parents who grew up in the 60's and 70's might just get a kick out of.
