best movie
Hey I remember turning on TDC and before I knew it I saw this kid that was in my Eighth grade Science and Math classes a couple years ago. He was a cool kid but I didn't expect this. I enjoyed the movie overall. Chez surpassed my expectations especially for a Disney channel original movie and a hometown kid. ***.5 /****.
I just saw The Thirteenth Year on the Disney channel and I thought it was really good. I especially liked Cody(Chez Starbuck) He's really cute! Well just wanted to give my opinion about the movie. Hope everyone liked it too.
I really like this movie. Believe it or not, I actually kind of teared up. Although this is one of my favorite Disney movies, I have to say that the acting is decent, but it could have been better. Another problem though, WHEN YOU TURN 13 YOU ARE ACTUALLY STARTING YOUR 14TH YEAR. I think the writers should have picked this up. Like, on your first year, you are zero, when you turn one its your second year, and so on. That means that on your thirteenth year, you are actually 14. Also, the fins on his legs look really fake. I have a question. Are we supposed to like Big John? I never really figured that out. Some parts he is good and some he is bad.
I first saw this movie on Family, and loved it. It is a wonderful work of Disney. The first time I saw it, (and the second and third times), I cried at the end. It was just one of those movies that I couldn't help but like. I've always been checking the movie listings waiting for it to come on again. I think it is a very good movie, and nothing can change my opinion.
I saw this movie on Disney channel and it was by far the best Disney movie i've ever seen!!!! I love to swim and thats why i loved this movie. The thirteenth year teaches kids to believe in the ordinarier such as mermaids and other things like that. He has always known he was adopted but it's not until he turns thirteen that strange and unexplainable things start happening to him when he gets in the water! This is what causes him to ask about his birth mother. I really want this movie to return to the Disney Channel because my friends have no idea what I'm talking about when I talk about The Thirteenth Year. I also would love the see it again but I cannot buy it or rent it. PLEASE show it again!!!!! Thank you!
The Thirteenth Year is a very entertaining Disney Channel movie. It is definitely not of one of Disney Channel's best, but it's OK. One thing that was a negative was the acting and dialog. I know this is a Disney movie, but the acting is very unbelievable at times, especially by the main character, Cody. The chemistry between the mermaid mother and Cody also felt kind of awkward. The dialog is also cheesy at time, but this is expected. But on the good side the makeup of the mermaid was very nice though and was a big plus. The story is entertaining and sure to keep you interested. and overall the good outweighs the bad. The Thirteenth Year isn't amazing but a really entertaining flick. Enjoy.
i love this movie!! i love mermaids/mermen, they are so cool. but what i really wish is that there would be a second movie. it would be that he comes back after a couple years and visits his family but then (that guy who was being mean to Cody in school and they got in a fight)he got suspicious that he did not come to school again and started to find out and then something bad happens but i still have to make up that part.....but anyway i think you should make a second movie. i would appreciate if you wrote back about my idea but since their are probably thousands of people writing to you i under stand if you do not write back. thank you!
