Boring

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Just another cheesy, horribly written, acted and directed Disney movie. Lets see where should I start.1. As usual, the acting was terrible as well as the writing and directing 2. The movie was so unrealistic it didn't make any sense. What girl actually has an imaginary alter ego that she talks to, and on national television. Sure, that would happen.Of course they have to add these dumb sub plots, like the pizza restaurant going out of business. What I find hard to understand is how that in just one week the restaurant fails; in just one week they can't possibly lose enough money to go out of business. And yet in one night, the restaurant was saved because 20 or 30 high school kids bought a few pizzas. Wait, so a hundred bucks saves your restaurant???? It was really cheesy how her journal got published, and what high schooler has a journal like that where she makes up names for everyone and invents this 'Is' person who just goes zap and all the problems go away. And how is it that in like 3 days she was already a best selling author. That's not even enough time to print the books and get them into stores, and why is everyone buying some random book.And of course, more relationship junk with Connor and Marco. And the animal rights friends that get mad at her for being famous. Oh, right, and her brother that for some reason gives up guitar because she tells him to. Sure, like he's just gonna give up something that he really enjoys because his younger sister tells him to. But in the end everyone lives happily ever after as expected, making all of these dumb sub conflicts pointless.And the movie was choppy and didn't make sense, where for some reason they have these dumb pointless scenes, like her getting ready for the dance. Who wants to see her put on a dress and some make up. And then of course she just closes her lap top as if to delete 'Is' forever. Well she's all in your crazy head I don't think your laptop has anything to do with it. The dance was dumb, and there was a spoof. Another person mentioned it in their review and I noticed it too. After they destroyed the whale it was perfectly fine in the next scene. There were a ton of other goofs too. Just lazy work by the film makers. And she gets up there and everyone boos her, then she comes up with some dumb speech and everyone forgives her. Wow, that makes tons of sense. Harsh high schoolers sure are quick to forgive.And lastly, why is 'Is' evil. Shes supposed to be the good guy/ hero type person in Jamie's journal. So why would Jamie imagine an alter ego of herself thats evil???And you could say, oh it's just a cute movie for little kids. Well why would little kids watch a movie about high school??? It's supposed to appeal to an early teen audience, and obviously we hate it.

In the book version, the main character had an older sister. Looks like they made a good call having an older brother instead.Nick Whitaker didn't do much in High School Musical, but it was his turn to shine on Read It and Weep. Gotta love that brown sunburst electric guitar he played (have that same guitar myself, only it's black). But it was heartbreaking that Jamie found his guitar destroyed in half and placed in a trash can.The big surprise was when he played the guitar & sang "I Will Be Around". The kids dancing to that tune, made me laugh, even the principal! When I think of Read It and Weep, I can't get that song out of my head! Good job, Nick Whitaker.

I sit down with my family to watch this so-called "G-rated" movie one summer (this being this summer) because I like my family so much. At first, I didn't even want to come near this movie because it seemed too girlish and embarrassing. So, I viewed at my own risk.I noticed the very familiar motifs this movie had, along with other bad Disney and Disney Channel works at the time: cheerleading, loving, and wicked stuff.But wait!!!!! My brother claimed to hear an OMG hidden somewhere in the movie (not unlike the "Lion King" "SFX" incident), and so I thought to myself, "Oh, yes. My family's too censor- worthy." So, I got sent to my room (at 19; wow, that's something!!!!!) and thanks to that, I couldn't watch "Match Game" and "Will It Float" later that night; the same went with many of the other nights.So really; Disney Channel thinks it's NOT OKAY for kids to see martial arts action, but it's OKAY to hear blasphemy????? Golly, I wish the FCC shut down this now joke-of-a-channel!!!!!And, if y'all are curious of the "Will It Float" situation on Letterman that night, I'll never know!!!!! The site never said!!!!! LOL this stinks so much1/10

I have to admit, this movie was good. Although I didn't expect the poisoning the lemonade.The story is about Jamie (Kay Pannabaker) who accidentally turns her private journal into a book. In the journal, Jamie has things the way she wishes they were. There is Is (Dannielle Pannabaker) who is Jamie's alter ego and she fights "evil", namely Myrna (Allison Scagliotti) who in the real world is Sawyer who is the school bully who harasses Jamie. Jamie becomes really popular to the school, but ends up leaving her friends (Alexandra Krosney, Jason Dolley, and Marquise Brown) out in the cold. Things go from bad to worse when she accidentally slips to the whole world that Myrna is Sawyer and that she based all the other characters on students. The only person who isn't mad at her is Marco (Chad Broskey) who she based Is' hot crush on. In the end, it turns out that Is is not who she seems and Marco is a fake who used Jamie's friend to get by in school. Everyone forgives her, except for Sawyer.This movie was very fun to watch. I'll just say I didn't expect much after Wendy Wu. This was A LOT better than that crap. Although the fact that Marco would turn out to be a jerk was so predictable.
