Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
StartingAllOver14 If I didn't knew "Jump In" was a Disney Channel movie, I would guessed it was a TV movie from another channel. This urban-oriented flick is a rare DC flick with a more mature feel and tone and it genuinely feels like a TV movie from a more mature channel. While it's still a light-hearted film, "Jump In" is the least cheesy Disney Channel flick I've seen. It seems as the executives of Disney woke up and decided to made a DC flick aimed for a older teen group, although kids and tween's can still safely enjoy the film.And to be honest, it's good to see a DC film which isn't overwhelmingly sugar coated. Anyhow, "Jump In" is still a cute and lighthearted movie. It's nice and refreshing to see a urban film with almost an entirely Afro-American cast (which is something they should tried out for "The Princess and the Frog") from Disney Channel. While the story and moral is quite traditional, the film delivers a valuable message to the viewers and comes off with a quite decent drama, insuring the story's mature tone.Although none of the acting is Oscar-worthy, the cast are a good fit for their roles; Keke Palmer is adorable and likable as Mary, David Rievers is a good TV-dad, Kylee Russell is a cute little sister for Izzy without outshining the other cast, while Patrick Johnson Jr is credible as Izzy's hostile nemesis Rodney. Those who watches "Hannah Montana" will recognize "Amber" (Shanica Knowles) as Mary's friend Shauna and Shanica delivers a decent performance. And Izzy's two friends Chuck (Masin Elsadig) and L'ilEarl (Micah Williams) are amusing.It's no strange that Disney wanted Corbin Bleu to Starr in his own film. He's got lots of star potential; charisma, looks, presence and sex appeal. But is he really a good actor? Well, to be fair on him; although he's far from an Al Pacino or an Robert De Niro (just to take some examples), he does a decent performance as Izzy.If there's anything to complain on "Jump In", it must be the overall presence of the "villain" Rodney, which also was a problem in "Camp Rock". Although the villains in DC have back-stories which makes the viewers sympathize more for them, their back-stories doesn't get solved and they still have to surrender to the protagonist. Those solutions feels too slight and out of order.Otherwise, "Jump In" may not be innovative or a masterpiece, but still a entertaining and cute film to recommend and to enjoy. It has pacing, boxing, lot of impressive double dutch movements, a little romance and catchy, urban music.
Mostafa Rachwani This is a disgusting piece of garbage. Simple as that. The acting is horrifyingly wooden, the direction is woeful and the script? I just wanted to kill myself every time the characters opened their mouthes. The situations were amazingly UN-realistic, i mean how many people seriously go to a skip rope competition? And why is everyone such a stereotype? Who seriously even would laugh at that, or tease someone because of that? Are these teenagers or 5 year olds? It was just a supremely irritating film, and highly advise anyone with half a brain cell to avoid this at all costs. Now excuse me while I swallow a bottle of painkillers.
nancybair-1 Although I did like this movie a little bit, I thought it was basically a remake of High School Musical. However, instead of the star being the "basketball guy", he's the "boxing guy". In both movies the star has a pushy father who wants his son to play the sport that he played as a young adult. Also, the star meets a new girl he likes, and he wants to try something new that she likes, such as trying out for a musical, or, in this case, doing double dutch. His friends will rag on him because it's "not his thing", and he will have to choose between what he wants to do, and what everybody else wants him to do. These two stories are one in the same, just from a different point of view.
alexapatti I hope it comes out with a sequel! It was the best movie EVER except for HSM and HSM 2! The Double Dutch is amazing and it is all actually Corbin Bleu! His real dad plays Izzy's dad and the 'rememorable quotes' section that saying, Corbin and his dad said that is almost real life for them! Keke Palmer is really good at double dutch too! But one girl on their old team is really mean. As I was saying Keke Palmer does a great job but some of her smiles are slightly unrealistic! If you like some of the background music, check out the soundtrack! Corbin is a great singer! As well as Keke! They did a great job and I hope there will be a sequel!
