The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I have watched a lot of movies lately that have all been predictable and boring. This movie was neither the jumping plot lines and new characters kept me guess to where the story was going. First I thought the movie was an empowering group of rag-tag underdogs rise to fame. I was mistaken when I found out it was a heart wrenching story of a girl from Jersey looking to right the wrongs of the past and get her fathers stolen money back from the man who stole it. But there was another twist that put me on the right path to a daughter who wanted to find her father who had abandoned her years ago to make it big so that he could finally buy her love and respect!! It was inspiring to see so many things come together at the end making me feel that there really is a happy ending for everyone even if you make wigs!

This was a terrible movie that had practically no plot. The acting was terrible, and the singing was only OK. I wanted to watch a fun movie on Friday night so I chose this, because it looked good. Boy was I wrong. I can't believe I made it through the whole thing!!! The girl Joey who played the manager made me want to pull my hair out. I would not recommend this movie to anyone! I don't remember it being in theaters even though they say it was. I guess it was one of the movies I skipped over because it looked so dumb. At the end, Joey just pops out and says the guy they just met is that one girls father. Seriously, we just met the guy for crying out loud. Then the girly storms out and yadidadida. Then the next day (I'm just getting started) her friends are all, hey girl come outside. The dad bought the whole neighborhood presents. Is it just me, or is it weird he bought a present for EVERYONE in the 'neighborhood.' This is New York we're talking about. The presents also had the person's name on it. FYI daddy, there's this thing called robbers, and greedy little children. I think it's kind of stalkerish to find everyone's name and put it on a present. But if he got them a present according to their age, then he must be a rich stalker.

My friends and I have a thing called "Bad Teen Movie Night" where we get together after work and watch a marathon of bad teen movies. Upon seeing the title and description we were fully prepared for an awful film, which was what we expected going into it. What we got was one of the poorest excuses for a film I've ever seen.The two main problems were the clichés and the fact that there were too many plot lines.You've got a group of 11 year olds who are running around NYC by themselves trying to win a million dollars. The only way they are getting around is because the lead girls alcoholic/gabbling/Irish caricature Grandfather who steals rent money drives them around, leaving our poor heroine to have to act like the adult at 11 years old. Not only that but there's a pint sized Al Capone wannabe whose trying to find a man who stole 90k from her dad ten years ago. Armed with her snakes, poison and eels she gets her answers. These two stories intermingle the entire time for no reason at all while the girls do an assortment of other random things. Such as star in a commercial, battle the evil "wiggies" and compete for the million dollar prize.If that's not silly enough there are a number of things that baffle me beyond belief. There's a young character named Alana who wanders around with no supervision from her father. In one scene the girls are in a night club despite not being old enough to drive. And of course an assortment of spineless adult characters who let the little brats do as they please.During the film the girls compete against another group of older, much more talented girls named the "Wiggies" for the money. And honestly? We were all rooting for the wiggies. The sign of a truly terrible movie is one where you refuse to root for the hero. The icing on the cake is that when they find the man that stole the 90K from the little gangster wannabe, not only is he head of the contest the girls entered, he is the main girls father who ran away years ago. (Did I forget to mention her mother is dead and her dad bailed?)But it's all okay. Because in the end he brings Christmas IN JULY, I wish I was making this up, and buys her affection.I wish I could give this movie a lower rating than a 1. The songs aren't all bad, most are rather catchy. It was the plot/story itself and bad acting that made this movie cringe worthy. Arguably the worst movie i've ever seen in my life.

This film is what it sets out to be. It is a fun entertaining movie. My kids loved it and they already begged for me to go to the website and get them a copy of the CD. Following that I did purchase headphones for them! Its just fun and a good way to enjoy an hour and a half. Good music and dancing. It is a very positive movie that left my kids feeling great after wards. I've read the reviews and I was honestly dreading going; but after witnessing it; I don't fully understand what all the negativity is about. it is great to see that there is someone giving talented kids a chance to perform and get to their dream. its much better than watching some 30 year old pretend they are high school juniors.
