The Cheetah Girls

My younger sister is obsessed with this film. I believe she owns all of the books and sad enough she even owns the DVD. I can't stand it. The only good thing about the film is that Disney actually made this look like a (cheesy) movie at the theater. It was in wide-screen (which was nice) and it looked well made, but it wasn't. Plot is simple, 4 girls want to be pop stars and turn down an offer of a lifetime. Very, very original... Yeah RIGHT! I thought the end of the movie was cheesy about the dog getting stuck in that hole (or whatever the heck it is) and then the whole city freaking out (common it is NYC!) and the news reporters are freaking out about the crisis. It was on the dramatic side. The girls started to sing to get the dog out which was VERY unrealistic. Most of the movie was UNREALISTIC. When would a talent show have fancy spotlights that are shaped in spots and stuff? The names are too dramatic like Galleria (all I know is that is the name of a mall in Houston) and Chanel. The storyline is so boring and WAY too predictable. Raven is on of my favorite actresses and she didn't do a very good job of acting. That dumb "C'mon" has NO lyrics but "C'mon, C'mon!" and is annoying. When the girls reunite, they are all wearing the same clothes.Suddenly the LIVE news becomes a music video. The street suddenly becomes a stage and the guitars are never plugged in! It is fun to watch and make fun of when you're bored. If this movie is about to come on, change the channel and you can save some of your precious time.

Zero average is what almost every TV Disney film gets because 90% of them are stupid. Meet another horrible TV film, but instead of having just two main characters to burn down the film, they have four! That means twice the disaster, twice the stupidity, and twice the pointlessness. Raven Symone horribly portrays a girl named Galleria, who holds a passionate but childish dream to one day become a singing star. I don't know why she would want to, because she certainly does not have the voice for it. Her mother is supposed to be strict but she really just lets Galleria do whatever she feels like. The rest of the Cheetah Girls are acted out by adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan. Adrienne is supposed to be this really cool girl, but really she looks like what they call "dumb blondes". Kiely plays a girl named Aqua (who names their child Aqua) who thinks she's 2-cool-4-u, but she truns out to be a more boring version of Adrienne. Sabrina Bryan plays a girl with little money who loves to dance, and it turns out she is one of many foster children. I know how the foster care system works, and she would not live in just one home- she would have to be adopted. And the fact that nobody knew just shows how unrealistic this film is. The Cheetah Girls sign a record deal with a man named Jackal, the latest record producer whose been playing top chart singles. Jackal looks like a hippie who wants to be ghetto and dope, but he acts more like a man on cocaine. He is the villain and secretly behind their backs turns them into toddler artists WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. So, other Cheetah Girls kick out Raven and they all wail "boo-hoo" for some twenty minutes. They are reunited when her dog Toto gets lost in the sewer (which you would have to be an 85-year-old in a wheelchair with a pit bull to have this done). Raven must sing to the dog for it to get out, so she calls the Cheetah Girls and they all sing to the dog and it comes out. Raven apologizes and they put on a show for bystanders, which airs live on TV (in real life, this could not happen). Jackal sees this, gets mad and THE END. This movie is put together as unrealistic as possible. They pieced together well, or else it would've been a 2.0 on IMDb. 5 year old girls should like this and little boys who play with Barbie dolls.
