laurenlinger The intro was a dead giveaway. The blonde girl playing an acoustic guitar with a bunch of butterflies, styled like the aesthetic of her earlier work. I'm guessing they couldn't get the real Taylor Swift, so they got a knockoff instead. This movie is just poorly written and made.
Me;anie Wilson This review does contain spoilers, but, trust me, I'm not really spoiling anything. This movie had a lazy plot, careless script, and sad acting. It's the Cinderella story we've all seen before. I don't know why they keep making these movies--or why we keep watching them--and this had to be the worst of them all.Someone else commented that the movie poster makes Elle look like a 40-year-old woman. She does. I'm sure the budget was low. I'm sure the graphics department got paid diddly squat, but Photoshop is not that hard to figure out.The montage of the relationship between Ty and Elle looked like it was run through instagram and smacked into Windows Live Movie Maker. Adorable, yes. Professional, no. I found myself wondering what they were saying to each other..."Oh Ty, can you believe we're getting paid for this?""Elle, they have to pay us! After this, we'll never be respected as actors!" They both laugh in unison as they pretend to eat ice cream.Alright, alright. These are all superficial things, they're not THAT bad. Sure. Hey, what about the standing ovation from the judges after Elle preforms her song at the scholarship audition? Check. The evil trio that smacks their gum and demands gourmet water? Check. The overly animated, rambunctious best friend who also smacks her gum and pushes the protagonist to go after her dream? Check. You've completed the list for worst movie ever, would you like to go for a bonus round? Just add in the judges and Uncle Allen jamming out like they're teeny boppers with the most horrifying smiles you've ever seen plastered to their faces during Elle's audition. Also, the guitarist and drummer should both know the music, even though it's an original song, so that they can do back up. Now, tell your actors to channel the type of acting that is usually left for plays instead of film acting. Their goal is over the top (in a bad way). Check? Oh no...The recorded music that Elle sang wasn't half bad, the lyrics better than other movies I've seen, such as Music and Lyrics, but that's the only thing that kept me from hitting myself in the face with the DVD case.
maire37 in short i wasted over an hour of my life, the actors had no knowledge or portrayal of emotion i really advise you DO NOT watch this film, its your average cliché overused storyline with bad actors and annoying accents and this 'singer' repeats the same song like fifty times and i started to get on my nerves, everything about this movie is fake and cheap. They are so dull and its so boring, the sort of thing that would air on TV at about three O'Clock in the evening at the same time as about 20 other cheapo fail films. The directors must be crazy or were high at the time cus seriously?! just no -_- never a good idea if ur basically reusing content
just_kumala Okay Netflix, do you have others worse than this? This movie is such a failure. First of all, I'm up for every movies with the fairy tale theme. But this is "beyond fairy tale".The actors suck, they could not act! The editing sucks too! A lot of unnecessary scenes. It felt like some people wanna be stars and they were all over the place! Failing amateur movie.The plot was okay though but seriously, even other Sterling Knight movies are even better than this.The only good about this movie is only the songs, they're just cool, not awesome, but Thank God at least there's something good.
