I love this movie so much
the audience applauded
So much average
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
I found this movie strange and interesting in the blatant way it promotes the army to children. In the army children will get friends, learn team-work, structure and discipline. As well as learn healthy competition and screaming at each other while juggling a rifle. What kid would not want that? To be a conformist cog in a well-oiled killing machine is fun! I cant help but think its like a Hollywood-Disneyfied version of the Third Reich propaganda films for the Hitler Jugend. Sick but cute. It is very interesting that a film like this can be made and put out into the mainstream culture, being treated like an ordinary family movie. I did not find it particularly wholesome.
I would have been willing to give this a 2 just because Hilary Duff is cute ... if it weren't for the dad "rescue" thing near the end.This is when the Kelly and "Sir" find that the Kelly's dad has fallen down the side of a cliff and is lying about 50 feet below on a ledge, apparently unconscious.Sir calls for rescue and medical team. Great. But then he lets Kelly "go to" her dad ...Can't ANYONE see that it is MORNONIC to rappel down a cliff straight over an unconscious victim? Um, can you say falling rocks? Then when she gets down there she flips Dad over like a rag doll. Can you say quadriplegic? Cause that's how a trauma victim might easily end up if you move them, especially twisting the neck and spine as she did.After this scene I almost had to go puke.
Hilary Duff takes a stab at Cadet Kelly Colins, an artistic individual girl who's sent to military school. There, she makes friends, enemies and falls in love. Oh, and she saves her father. As if that was predictable enough! In theory, this is a bad movie. When you actually watch it, it's much, MUCH worse. Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a fan of Disney Channel Original Movies, but this was absolute trash! Hilary tries too hard at playing the perky girl who everyone hates, and hopefully makes the audience feel sorry for her. She tries to be the upbeat, positive girl who would actually go up to someone and say "Can I borrow some spit?" Not only is she perky to the extent of being excessively annoying, but all I see her as is a Mary-Sue //(character with no flaws at all making you want to vomit).This is probably OK for the target audience - 6-10 year olds, but anyone older than that will find this the most annoying piece of trash in the world. And if any real military people actually watch this film, they'll probably loose all faith in the movie industry. Remind me... how does playing around with bits of ribbon help the Army in war? Exactly, it doesn't. So please don't waste 101 minutes of your life and watch something as bad as this.
I love this movie. The scenes, actors, actresses, the plot- Everything! What I really like in the movie is: When her father falls and she finds out and then she rescue's him. And I like when she goes under the wire and the girl says "I pretend-". I also like when you see them do the you could say "Gun/Weapon Dancing". Plus when you see her packing at the end and when you see her room at Military School. I just love the plot as I said, the story and how good they act especially "Hilary Duff" staring Cadet Kelly. I love it! The BEST BEST BEST movie!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Even the small things are great!!! I also like when she got stuck on the roof. It was a LITTLE funny. I also love the costumes. The costumes were great!!! It shows a lot. The short way of telling the story is: Her mother gets a boy friend and they/her father send her to Military school. She has to leave her best friend. She hates it at first. And there is this Mean girl. Then she makes a friend. Fashion Style is not there. Finally she gets the picture of no fashion. The mean girl turn out to be a friend in a special friend. Her father comes and she rescue's him. That's it. But it would be hard to tell the whole story. That movie is great!!!
