Fun, fast, empowering, emotional ...movie for all ages to enjoy. Specifically like how they tackled stereotypes ( prom queen but also tech savvy, male nurses, self image) without losing the comedic side. Laura Marano and Leigh Allen Baker were a fabulous team with amazing comedic timing. My 2 kids, myself, and husband all sat and watched it together and really enjoyed it. Any movie that can keep the family together gets my 2 thumbs up. They've already asked if we can watch it again. Most Disney Channel movies are fluffy and I can barely tolerate....not this one. There were car chases for my son, prom dresses for my daughter, and tons of laughs for the adults. The music was great too. Well done Disney!
A teen looking for approval and a disgraced cop are forced to work together to recover a missing necklace, catch a notorious jewel thief and save this cop's job. Laura Marano of Austin&Ally and Leigh-Alyn Baker of Good Luck Charlie make the unlikely partners in Bad Hair Day. By the way said day is also the day of the senior prom where Marano desperately wants to be prom queen.
This film is the first of Disney's offerings to its teen and adolescent market. Laura Marano is not too different from her Austin&Ally character of a good kid who wants approval be it audience or peer. As for Baker she's got some good comic ability in her which was often on display in Good Luck Charlie.
Christian Campbell plays the international jewel thief and he looks like he was having a good time taking small bites from the furniture. One thing totally spoiled it for me. The story has Campbell losing possession of the valuable necklace that Baker was supposed to be guarding and Marano winds up with in a roundabout fashion. It gets to her because someone pawned it. I have to tell you that when that necklace came to the pawn shop it must have been one stupid pawnbroker who got it. I can't believe he thought it was costume jewelry and let Marano have it. In real life he'd either go broke or be laughed out of the business.
Still sub par though it is Bad Hair Day has its amusing moments.

I thought this movie was actually pretty good. The acting was amazing and I enjoyed the storyline. Not much to say about this but pretty good!
It may sound a little misogynistic, but I love little girls' films, female subjects interest me, mother and daughter relationship, here everything is very cute, portrayed in a light, fun and intelligent way... With an investigative, comical, exaggeratedly silly touch, but totally passionate...
Monica (Laura Marano) is a high school senior. She uses social media and her programming skills to be popular in her quest to be prom queen. Her day starts with bad hair after a full day of hair poll. Private investigator Liz (Leigh-Allyn Baker) comes looking for an antique neckless which Monica had bought from a pawn shop. Monica is willing to trade it for a driver.
Neither of the characters are appealing. They try to be a funny duo and sometimes their bickering hits a good spot. The mother daughter bit is kind of funny. I wish for a better setup. With a different premise, this duo could work. It's a slightly above average Disney TV.
