It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's fun to watch the Jump Roping scenes. It's amazing to watch these kids do what I could only dream of doing. I'm too old to be jumping like that now. I don't know what would have happen way back when. Corbin Bleu is very talented and is the reason why the film works so well.The story is your standard sports inspirational film. It's filled with touching moments and reconciliation between arch rivals. There is some romance and the typical father who wants his son to be just like him but understands when he wants to change his interests in life.Not a bad film. Wouldn't add it to my library but it might be worth a rental. After you watch both 'High School Musicals' of course. If you don't want to sit through the whole film, go to the bonus features and watch the music videos with some 'Jump In' Highlights.

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.

First of all, let me say how much I LOVED this movie. It was amazing.The sets were fabulous. They were remarkable! the production design was great and the art department did a fantastic job.The actors were pretty good. I loved Corbin and Keke and their chemistry was great. The side characters were good. Some were especially funny. It really looked like New York -- which was great!It taught people that double-dutch is not just a sport to be taken lightly, and it is actually a real sport that people actually compete in.All in all, great movie that I would recommend to people who don't mind when it's a little cheesy, or anyone who wants to enjoy a good 90 minutes, go watch it! or rent the DVD when it comes out or whatever.

First of all, I have to tip my hat to Disney. In the past, the movies they have made have been over exaggerated kid-movies. Before seeing this film I never thought much of jump roping as a sport, just an activity. It TRULY changed my mind. The storyline begins with Izzy (Corbin) a young aspiring boxer who becomes a stepper in a local double-dutch jump roping team. Izzy now finds himself stuck choosing between boxing and jump roping, friendship and family, who people want him to be, and where his heart truly lies. Not to mention mocks from piers, and a bully who tests Izzy's limits.It's good to see a movie that is realistic, and yet has good morality. Jump In! captures your attention by awesome meandering dance moves, shuffled into jumping and ropes and a bracing storyline to go with it. Corbin Bleu brilliantly makes his mark in Jump In!
