The American Mall (2008 TV Movie)
7/10
Cliché, predictable, but overall an enjoyable movie
12 August 2008
Yeah, I know the movie was predictable, and the plot was cliché. But in my opinion, the acting was pretty good and the relationship between the two main characters played out great on the screen. One of the reviewers says there wasn't enough dance scenes. I watched this on TV last night, and there was a song or dance break in almost every scene. Seriously, the characters would talk for a few minutes before breaking out in song. As for the people complaining that this movie is too similar to High School Musical, I want to point out that the producers of that movie had a part in this, so it's a bit unavoidable. Also, personally, I at least enjoyed this movie more than Camp Rock. Who watches a teen movie for a deep plot anyway? Both High School Musical films were predictable, but I still loved them immensely. Same with this movie. It has catchy songs, fun dance numbers, hilarious dialogue, and interesting characters; even apart from the main two, in fact my favourite character happened to be the best friend, Ben.

Basically, if you want a fun, enjoyable, musical experience like CR or HSM then check out this movie, but don't go in expecting too much of a deep story, it's more of a fun late night DVD to pop in and watch with your friends.
