This movie is so lighthearted, sweet and fun to watch. The kids are adorable and acting is good.
At first, I just watched it thinking it would be one of those typical comedy movies, but no. I literally cried so much while watching this film literally I cried throughout the whole movie, because it was just so heartwarming and adorable.
This is just a fun, family friendly movie. Sure, the plot is predictable but the acting is good and there is some pretty good dancing.
The cast can dance but please, don't ask them to speak any lines. Lots of filler scenes.
A "Pitch Perfect" rip off that forces an unpleasant character down our throats and asks us to root for her as she pursues her Broadway dreams. That character is played by Sofia Carson, and in her defense, we're supposed to dislike her at first, but I'm pretty sure over the course of the movie she's supposed to soften and become endearing, and that never happens.
It's a fun feel good movie that I think can be enjoyed by most people. Yeah, its a little predictable (especially if you watch the trailer beforehand) but its still enjoyable to watch and has pretty good casting and acting especially Sofia Carson, and theirs great chemistry between her and Wolfgang.
Ok, let's get past the fact that it's the incredibly tired "adult with aspirations takes advantage of kids' dreams to realize them" plot. While tired, it can still be both feel good and done well (eg Disney's recent "Magic Camp").
So much wrong with this film, it would take hours to mention it all. One small thing I will mention, because it's amusing, is that the main character counted out of time with the music within the first few minutes of a film called 'Feel the Beat'.
