Too much of everything

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie is exactly what a stupid teen musical should be like! With the hottest female main character, fun characters, great catchy songs that gets stuck on your brain forever and a fun story. And also that horrible mean girl with lots of power that you just want to blow up, the parent that doesn't understand and of course love and trouble. I liked how they made the movie, and the actors and actresses, especially Nina Dobrev who I think does a really great job.I really recommend this movie to chick flick lovers or someone who just wants to get cozy and watch a cute film :) Hope this helped!

I definitely don't think it was as good as HSM. I watched this because I really liked HSM and I knew this was done by the same people that did HSM. Plus I just love Autumn Reeser. She was good in this. Her character is pretty much the same as Taylor in The O.C. I really wanted to like Nina, the female lead, in this movie but she just didn't do it for me. The girl who did her singing had an alright voice. I really liked the male lead and the rest of the cast. They definitely stole the show. The songs weren't as catchy as the HSM ones, although there were a couple I liked. The story and songs were definitely better by the end. Overall it was entertaining and worth watching.

This movie was a great teenage musical, filled with great songs and dance numbers. The cast did a fantastic job on the vocals and i think you are being a little to judge mental.If Nina (lead actress) couldn't sing then why would they have cast her for lead!? This movie is making a bold statement in saying that you shouldn't't/can't just take or be given everything you have to earn it. It teaches that you can't be selfish, that you have to give to get things in return. There were also the little messages in it to help make the earth a better place. In the shirts Nina would wear to the earth friendly contexts. It's okay to have your own opinion but when your putting other's down, those who are doing this for kids like yours, that's low.

Saw it on MTV earlier, and, although it is from the executive producers of High School Musical, this movie is geared more to the high school crowd than High School Musical is. So, The American Mall is not nearly as childish as High School Musical, making it a better movie all together.The relationship between Ally and Joey was very similar to High School Musical, (the two people sing together, don't know each other, and then meet up again, only to break up shortly there-after, and get back together at the end.) Although, the relationship between Ally and Joey is exactly the same as the relation ship between Troy and Gabrielle, in High School Musical, there is more emotionally depth with the actors/actresses, making it a better experience.It was a great movie, well worth the time and I would recommend watching it soon.
