The American Mall (2008)
A bit of a High School Musical ripoff
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.
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)
Of course its for kids but people of all ages can get a kick out of it
My family saw this movie together and all liked it. Of course my 2 younger brothers(ages 4 and 10) liked it the best, but Im 16 and liked it. My mom and stepdad both enjoyed it. We all had grown up on this show and this movie was more like the cartoons than the first one. It has alot of monsters from the orignal show, which made it fun, which I think it was meant to be.
The acting was also better. Sarah Michelle Gellar(Daphne) and Freddie Prinze Jr(Fred) both did much better in this one. Linda Cardellini(Velma) and Matthew Lillard(Shaggy) were great. Seth Green(Patrick) was perfect and the sub-plot of his and Velma's relationship was good. I was in a theater that was full, mostly kids, but the people of all ages were laughing. I know it's not the critics darling, but if you liked the cartoons you should see it. And if not for you, then for the kids.
