Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Sancy Jeg In this story a girl, Monica's hair, dress and shoes are ruined for the prom. The only thing not ruined is a necklace which she bought from a pawn shop. Monica meets a woman, Liz who wants the necklace which Monica has. I think this is a very funny movie. I wanted second part of this movie. I think everyone should go for it.
Judith Although the general plot was okay, the details were not well thought out. For example, when the "FBI agent" comes, she says that she is an American agent, however they continuously use the term "eh" throughout the movie which is not an American term. Also, things like the dress getting burnt from the steam of the bathroom and completely disforming seem a little off. Because of all of the details in the movie that don't quite work out, I was confused and wondering what was really going on. In the end it works out in a cheesy ending like all Disney movies do, except this one was much less satisfying. The next time I'm looking for my Disney movie fix, I'll scroll pass Bad Hair Day. I do not suggest this movie to anyone, big or small, as it was just not interesting nor worth my time.
bkoganbing A teen looking for approval and a disgraced cop are forced to work together to recover a missing necklace, catch a notorious jewel thief and save this cop's job. Laura Marano of Austin&Ally and Leigh-Alyn Baker of Good Luck Charlie make the unlikely partners in Bad Hair Day. By the way said day is also the day of the senior prom where Marano desperately wants to be prom queen.This film is the first of Disney's offerings to its teen and adolescent market. Laura Marano is not too different from her Austin&Ally character of a good kid who wants approval be it audience or peer. As for Baker she's got some good comic ability in her which was often on display in Good Luck Charlie.Christian Campbell plays the international jewel thief and he looks like he was having a good time taking small bites from the furniture. One thing totally spoiled it for me. The story has Campbell losing possession of the valuable necklace that Baker was supposed to be guarding and Marano winds up with in a roundabout fashion. It gets to her because someone pawned it. I have to tell you that when that necklace came to the pawn shop it must have been one stupid pawnbroker who got it. I can't believe he thought it was costume jewelry and let Marano have it. In real life he'd either go broke or be laughed out of the business.Still sub par though it is Bad Hair Day has its amusing moments.
jonathanrspalding DC had been promoting this movie for a long time. Disney movies are often hit or miss and if you are not an eleven year old girl they often are not enjoyable. However, I thought this movie was very good for TV.The plot was generally believable. The two main characters were well acted and had a great chemistry. The movie was well written and the plot was more solid than most kid movies. Also the villain was believable as a real criminal. The banter between the kid and cop actually was funny and kept me watching a rather formulaic cop/kid movie.The movie should have ended about five minutes sooner than it did, but it had less of the sappiness that most DCOMs have. The movie reminded me more of the old, old Disney movies from the 60's and 70's such as That Darn Cat, which I think it is a good thing.Hence, if nothing better is on I would recommend it for watching one of the five hundred times they play it in the next year.
