The Cheetah Girls (2003)

not horrible nor great

From my favorite movies..

Dreadfully Boring

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Okay. Seriously? 3.8?I get it. The acting wasn't something to give an award for. Perhaps it's cheesy and you think that only 6 yr old girls will like it and the music. Nope. I'm a grown ass man and I still love this movie. My niece, who is only a year younger, also loves it. Hell, my mom doesn't mind it either. She's 53.I've seen people say "Oh, all the girls were selfish-- they wanted fame and--" etc blah blah. Since when is it selfish to pursue your dreams? They wanted to get their music out there. And Galleria was selfish for not wanting to bend to Jackal's will? She didn't want the Cheetah Girls to become what someone else would want. What they didn't envision.The other girls saw the ere of it as well, after thinking about it. It came down to 'The image Jackal wanted the Cheetah Girls to be, or their family The Cheetah Girls'. In the end Galleria, torn by losing her best friends, she was the one to make the first move to try and repair their friendships.Yes. There were some errors. But guess what? It was a TV MOVIE. Not something made in Warner Brothers Studio. It was something made by Disney Channel for whoever watches their channel. It was one of the last vestiges of the old Disney channel before Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez took over with their bullshit shows. Is Cheetah Girls a teen movie as well? Yes. But it was more like Lizzie McGuire than like Hannah Montana.Was it the best movie from Disney of all time? Of course not. But it's entertaining, the music is good and in the end the girls learned their friendship was more important than bending to the will of the big company manager. They said they'd do it their own way. Is it selfish to follow your dream the way you wanted it? No.It's not something that I'd give a five star review to. But I can remember watching this and some of the 'morals' other people thought was being sent out, I didn't see. I saw the morals that your friends are more important than your fame. You should follow your dream and be happy. That you shouldn't let others tell you how your dream is to be lived.All in all, I love it for the nostalgia mostly, but also because it was a great time before Disney started shoving this bullshit called Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana down our throats. High School Musical and everything else on Disney Channel these days needs to be chucked off a bridge and they need to bring back the old shows. Put Zenon on! Some Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, or hell, just show the old Disney movies like Lion King!Anything but what we have today.I know many of you aren't going to like this review. Either way, I don't care. I had to give my opinion and I had to show my love for old Disney before they started killing it. The ratings must be horrible.

I had absolutely no intention of watching this, but I found myself in the mood for something light and funny. And it wasn't horrible, you know.The Bad points: Well, lots of cheese, of course; girlie screaming and shopping for clothes, and needless drama, and the absolutely improbable ending. Movie for kids, ya know. Not too much logic and/or depth.The Good points: The music was really good. The girls CAN sing, man! Also, the movie had a few serious moments, which I cannot say for what I've seen on Disney channel today. And these were realistic teen girls, which really DO act like that and quarrel about such stuff. Ah. :) And there was some Kyle Schmid and his funny faces. A pity his character didn't have much importance other than kissing Galleria in the end. (And the song was ridiculous, to be honest.) Sooo yeah. Don't be too harsh on the movie, it is for children. And sometimes it feels good to watch something fluffy and optimistic.

I disagree with most of these reviews. I thought this was a fun movie. It's about four teenage girls following their dreams, and they realize just how hard it can be, yet they don't give up. I thought the music was great. The acting was awesome. The storyline was interesting, and the whole movie rocked! Raven-Symone was especially excellent! I even found some moments in the movie very emotional, like when the girls hit a bump in the road with the producer, and they think about giving up completely (their friendship and their dream). The movie had a great message. Although there may be plenty of bumps in the road to your dream, don't stop trying. Never give up, because you just may get there.

Now, I don't comment on a lot of things. Especially not movies like this, but I'd like to say what I have to say.This movie is terrible...horrible acting, cheesy storyline, it was also confusing to understand. It was like a mess of scenes jumbled together in movie format.The songs are just...ugh...I don't even have a word for them. They don't really make sense, and obviously this movie is aimed at 6 year old girls.Whatever happened to the OLD Disney? Like Zoog? Sister Sister, Boy Meets World, Even Stevens, and the older D.C.O.M.S such as Brink!, Halloweentown, Johnny Tsunami, Quints, and many others. They need to bring back the good shows, and quit showing terrible movies like this.
