The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie (2005)

stop dissing this movie

[8/10 · 28 January 2007]

Before I go ANY further, I have to say this - the oldest kid in the movie was 11.

Of course these kids aren't gonna be as good as the Beatles, who are Nat's favorite band. The average age of them is 9. The music is quite cute and I think the movie reminded me a lot of Napoleon Dynamite, especially the way it was filmed.

Also, the comedy in it was cute and even though a little bit more "mature" then Spongebob, it was funny to me. I loved that little kid Alex, who reminded me soo much of my little brother.

I thought it was cool that that little kid, Nat actually wrote all those songs. The songs aren't gonna be Grammy material, again - Nat Wolff was 9 in the movie and is 11 now.

Everyone is insulting these kids when really they are all very cute and talented. This movie is NOT a blockbuster film competing for some Oscar. No. This movie is a Nickelodeon movie, and for Nick, it was very good compared to some of their other stuff, and I know I'll be watching the series for its goofy jokes and "thin" plot line - perfect for a tween like me to understand.

Plus, there is no "sexism" in it towards girls. Nat and Alex like girls and, honestly, which 9 year old boy DOESN'T think boys rule and girls drool? I am a girl myself, and all in all I found it quite entertaining and funny.

So stop insulting these kids. Imagine if they read these comments - they'd feel pretty lowsy because you judged the movie like, well - a real REAL movie. This is a made for TV movie directed at pre-teen kids. I don't know a pre-teen boy who doesn't like a good joke about boobies. So I'm giving this movie an 8, because I laughed my stinking butt off at Alex (that's inappropriate) and the rest of this goofy band. And now my little sister has a hugggge crush on Nat.

All I'm saying is, these kids can play instruments and sing and write songs - unlike my brother who sits around and plays gameboy sp all day.

Unfabulous (2004–2007)

cute, funny, good clothes

[7/10 · 28 January 2007]

Emma Roberts is actually a very good singer. She just sounds bad for the show.

Anyway, I like this show. It portrays a realistic view of middle school, but it is stretched just enough for Nickelodeon viewers to get some laughs out of it. The characters aren't "deep" of anything, but that's why it's good. Addie - the main character, has to go through the trials and tribulations of middle school. I am in middle school, and I really do thing this show portrays it in a realistic and funny way. Plus the clothes that Addie wears are very cute. I also like how the plot isn't confusing at all, and you get all the characters - the popular older brother you have to look up to, the cooler than you best friend, the cute popular guy, the, well, guyish guy best friend, and, of course the embarrassing parents. This show is much better than some other shows out there like Drake and Josh. The jokes in the show are cute, the episodes are easy to follow, and Addie is a talented, yet so unfabulous 13 year old girl.

Jump in! (2007 TV Movie)

a good movie, mostly

[8/10 · 14 January 2007]

I have to give props to Corbin Bleu. He's a much better actor than Zac Efron. Keke Palmer did a good job, too.

I never considered jumping rope a "sport" until I saw this movie. To see how hard these guys work at what they do is amazing! Some of the tricks were SO awesome. It's cool, because I can't even double-dutch! Though the movie was predictable "too the limit", it had a good theme -follow your dreams. Even though this movie has the themes of EVERY Disney Channel movie out there, it was still a heartfelt story.

It amazes me how much they had to work to get it all perfect. But the romance in the movie freaks me out. I am about the same age as Keke, and she had a "relationship" with the 17-year-old Bleu.

Plus the soundtrack was GREAT!
