Movie Review : Bandslam


Rotten Tomatoes (RT) 2009 Golden Tomatoes Award results are out and I'm ready to keep myself up to date with the high rated movies I've missed. To those who doesn't know, RT is a critics' website that highly contributes to a movie ratings... basically, anything that has bad ratings here will definitely go down the drain despite the fact that sometimes critics can be, you know, mentally unstable.

On the opposite side, sometimes, movies that have high ratings might not get great reviews/responses from viewers and in this case - Bandslam. The critics went crazy over it but unfortunately the ticket sales were really low - thanks to Vanessa's boobies exposure weeks before the premier~

Anyway,

The movie tells the story of Will Burton, a school outcast that finally got to escape his miserable high school live in Cincinnati and move to New Jersey. Here he befriended Charlotte (played by Aly Michalka), a once stuck up head cheerleader turned people friendly and Sa5m - the 5 is silent (Vanessa Hudgens), a rebel who reads a lot and talks like a robot.

So, what happened next is they decided to form a band and compete in "Bandslam", a singing competition where the winner gets a recording deal. Of course they have their rival - the popular kids band - Glory Dogs and sure their band consist of the outrageous, weird but talented misfits in the school.

I know... you're thinking it sounds pretty much like hundreds of other teen flick movies that ever come out of Disney productions bottoms and such... Boring!

Think again

Trust me. This movie is not a typical teen flick. It touches on typical issues such as teen romance and high school douches and also sensitive issues like family, grieving, and secrets that really keep this movie miles apart from any other teen flicks.

The plot and character developments are beautifully crafted and the story line is just amazing... This movie also has probably the most epic kissing scene ever that is to me the most original I've seen yet.

Overall... this movie really deserves all the good ratings it's receiving and it's really recommended for those who are looking for high quality musical comedy.
