Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

vikezupa Same old story: School kids parents don't understand them, overbearing boyfriend, overbearing principal, same old songs re-packaged. It's terrible, unless you're 8 years old and your parents let you watch it. There must be a group of writers out there who write this type of junk. Demonize parents, demonize authority, demonize jocks, demonize cheerleaders, all in an effort to tell the story of the down-trodden, misunderstood students who don't add value to the school sports teams. The songs are liberal Disney: Predictable lyrics about being misunderstood but standing firm. Predictable chord changes and time signatures. Some kids will like it. Most parents won't.

amoc910 I am always excited about the next Disney movie to come out, because they are hilarious to make fun of. I noticed this movie in 2010, when me and my sister found a page that listed what movies Disney had made, and were going to make. We looked at each other with a matching questioning stare. Then, two years later, I noticed the advertisement. After Disney's absolutely AWFUL creation 'Starstruck', I was very much looking forward to this. I personally love the Breakfast Club, and this movie is basically the Disney Corporation eating the Breakfast Club, digesting it into a musical, and this mediocre movie is the excrement of the process. I think I'll simply list the positives and negatives, because I know if I don't bullet point I know I'll end up rambling and complaining for pages and pages. I didn't care enough to learn their names, except Stella, so I will have to describe them as - ''Zeke Or Luther (I don't know which one he is, because I've never watched the show'', Blonde girl from ''Good Luck Charlie'', ugly slightly popular girl, and drummer-dude.POSITIVES: Characters: -Blonde girl and Zeke or Luther's characters were interesting and in-depth, and I enjoyed their parts. And they weren't bad actors either. I'm actually surprised that the fact Good Luck Charlie's dad was in prison - just the fact that it HADN'T BEEN DONE IN ANOTHER Disney MOVIE! -I unfortunately have to admit that Zeke or Luther guy and Good Luck Charlie girl made a cute couple. And the kitten was ADORABLE. Writing And Directing: -I'll admit that they did in fact attempt to make a movie that reached out to teenagers, and I don't think it completely plummeted in that respect. -The acting wasn't award-winning, but it wasn't a total flop. NEGATIVES: Characters: -Some of the adults in the movie such as the principle and drummer-dude's parents were too dim-witted for my liking. And if there's anything I hate from a kid's movie/TV-show, it's making kids think that parents are stupid. -I seriously doubt any school has a) a that big a basement b) care more about sports than Shakespeare, IT, Chess, music etc. c) a principle that rides a walkway -Can Disney not hire a NEW ACTOR in a while? Stella was in Wizard's of Waverly Place, Good Luck Charlie girl was in, Good Luck Charlie, Zeke or Luther was in Zeke and Luther etc. -Why did Stella care about a crappy Lemonade machine that the majority of people didn't even know existed. -One would expect Stella to be into MCR and Evanscence or, you know, something not totally cheesy. And did she wear the same shirt throughout the film? -The other ''popular band'' annoyed me so much. They thought they were totally ''bad-ass''. They met up in some kind of junkyard shack, in leather jackets with gel in their hair. But their music was the same, cheesy, poppy, bland rubbish as every other song.As well as the main singer looked several years younger than everyone else. -Some other review mentioned this, and I agree; why does Disney insist on making teenager movies for a ten year old audience? Teenagers don't like it. Ten year olds won't really get it. And even as teenagers they're all rather goody two shoes. No swearing. Nothing about alcoholism or drugs or sexual tension. Nothing that's like actual teenagers. -Why does the rather good looking guy have no experience with girls whatsoever? Writing And Direction: -I seriously doubt any school has a) a that big a basement b) care more about sports than Shakespeare, IT, Chess, music etc. c) a principle that rides a walkway -Cheesy, boring, same-old dialogue. -If I were in that pizzeria, I certainly wouldn't want the singer lying on top of my table. What if she had dandruff? Or lice? It isn't very hygienic. -Why does the Granny's radio sound really scratchy, then suddenly as clear as a whistle? It was odd. -I've never seen rain start so heavily so suddenly ever in my life. -When did ugly, slightly popular girl become the lead singer? -This bit really annoyed me - The fact that they all suddenly know the lyrics and music for a song? People were harmonising the lyrics and everything else - they obviously knew them. It's like in Camp Rock when they all know the perfect choreography even they supposedly 'haven't done it before'. -When did they become friends? I mean the Breakfast Club basically took the whole movie developing the relationships between characters - they basically were VERY SLIGHTLY annoyed at each other at the beginning. Within thirty seconds they were singing a song that "none of them knew", and then they were friends! Yay! And throughout there wasn't even any kind of personality friction whatsoever, even though they're all supposed to be a rag-tag, team of misfits from totally different backgrounds. But none of them had any creative differences or argued about anything because of how different they were. -Lemonade Mouth? - Stupid name. (I know that's not really a real reason. But I do think that.) -Cheesy part with the audience singing the lyrics, literally made me vomit. -Worst lip-syncing I've ever seen in my life. -Worst mime playing too. -Worst rapping I've ever heard too. -The fact that there was no kisses whatsoever kind of bummed me out. I did pretty much hate the movie but I am a bit of a sucker for that. Because I'm stupid like that. - They were certainly not good enough for that big stadium at the end. A really unbelievable ending - which kind of ruined the whole ''average rag-tag group of misfits'' thing they had going on. Well, there's more I'd like to say but you can watch it yourself. I gave it what I think is fair a 4/10. I really hope Disney can think of a good movie next time.

Mike Smith Having watched and discussed this movie with my nine-year-old niece, I found it both entertaining and disappointing.I hadn't intended to post here, but after reading reviews on a number of different sites, I decided what the heck – 'be heard'! :-) *steps up on soapbox* It was definitely entertaining, even with the necessity to 'suspend belief' in a lot of instances – as was pointed out in a number of postings I read, by 'youthful' reviewers. I'm also was quite comfortable with the 'message' I believe the story was meant to convey – with some effort, we can ALL overcome and achieve.Decent cast, although I have issues with how the 'adults' were portrayed. But then, it's a Disney movie and is of course, meant to reach a demographic other than my old self. *laughs* While all the 'kids' did seem to mesh and work well together, I thought I noticed some kind of 'connection' between Miss Mendler and Mr Hicks – or their characters at least. Miss Scott did, in my opinion, exceptionally well with the whole 'American' accent thing. Kudos to her.Now... the 'disappointed' part. As is usually the case when going from print to screen, I feel the original story (I did actually read the book before I gave it to my niece) was indeed, lost in the conversion. And, as we all know, movie-making is a business, and for the most part, projects are evaluated on the premise of profits. And yes, as I have seen posted by a number of youthful revolutionaries, *smirk* it shouldn't always be about profit. Unfortunately however, without profits, we'd have FAR FEWER movies worth watching. I will say that in this case, the changes from book to movie seem to have worked – quite nicely.I am VERY disappointed with the production of this movie. There are a BUNCH (a double-digit number) of filming/editing errors in it, making it blatantly apparent that Disney shot this solely on the premise of showing it on TV – and not in theaters. While I'm not going to delve too far into this, I will give you what I considered the most obvious. It involves a label-less bottle of water. In one scene, to characters are sitting at a table talking, the camera changes angles from one to the other as each of them has dialogue. During one of the cuts, a bottle of water appears between them, and then on the very next cut, disappears. There are a number of others, but my point is; the actors involved deserved better than to have all their efforts tossed into a blender, with the final result being a 5 (barely) on a scale of 10 for editing.Shame on you Disney. Good thing your demographic turned out to be YOUNG.Ultimately, I will say this: Any movie that can get a nine year old to continuously repeat 'be heard, be strong, be proud', is in this writer's opinion, a GOOD MOVIE.*steps down off his soapbox*

Hayden Thomas "Lemonade Mouth" is a story about five teenagers with different problems coming together and forming a band to be heard after being mistreated by the principal and popular kids.—Characters: 16/20— The characters each had a distinctive personality, but some characters weren't very well developed. I can't tell you much about Charlie, and just barely more with Wen. Then Scott wasn't as developed either, and all they did for Ray was show that he was a huge jerk, but otherwise, all the other characters were great.–Story: 17/20— I had to count off of originality because it was based off a novel, but otherwise it was a great story about how, like I said earlier, five teenagers escaping from family problems by trying to speak up against their principal by forming a band. You can totally relate with the characters, and you find yourself wanting to just whack the crap out of some of the characters. Some of the scenes seem a little over dramatic, like people just randomly start yelling, or in one scene, when the lead jerk Ray decides to just spontaneously decides to steal the microphone and start a fight. That scene was very confusing. I had really no idea how the fight started, and it went so fast that it perplexed me; then I don't know why the band wasn't allowed to perform there anymore when it was the other guy who started it. It was also confusing how when they got their gig at the pizzeria, they had a sign already advertising to "fight the power" even though the band had only preformed once, and that was at a school. Besides that, it had a great story, and a great ending.—Acting: 19/20— The acting was PERFECT. I applaud every person they hired for the band Lemonade Mouth, because they did an awesome job. They also hired some very talented singers and musicians, if I can say. If the people who played instruments really couldn't play that instrument, then they did a great job acting like they played it. I had to count off though because of the jerks. Scott was very vague and strange, which might've been why the character didn't seem too good. Ray was also very jerk-ish, which was correct on his part, but he sort of over-acted and since there was no other part in the plot about his personality, you couldn't see his full acting talents (if he could do better).—Moral and family-orientation: 20/20— Yes, it is a Disney Channel movie, so it HAS to be family-oriented, but the moral was strongly showed in the movie: speak up for what you believe in. That's what the whole movie centered on, what they actually exhibited; that's why the band was formed in the first place. Now, if you're a person who watches porn and people's heads being blown off every second of the day (or you know what I mean), you would hate it. If you enjoy a movie that the whole family can enjoy and a movie that you can relate to with great music, then you would enjoy "Lemonade Mouth". I certainly did.—Music: 19/20— I hate rapping. Sorry. They rapped in this movie, but this rapping wasn't about sex or drugs or anything, and I was actually okay with it. For a white guy, Adam Hicks isn't a bad rapper. The music by the band just drills in your head and motivates you to do things. Great music, and too add on, it's about standing up for yourselves.—Overall review: 91/100— In conclusion, "Lemonade Mouth" is a great movie about taking a stand for what you believe in that actually has some personality while being suitable for all ages.—Bonus Review- Cinematography: 17/20— Cinematography is my picky spot, so sorry, but I HAVE to review. I absolutely LOATHE when cameras shake on purpose in scenes to cause "suspense" or "tension" or whatnot. Blech, I DESPISE it. They used the technique in this movie once or twice, and when I got to the point where I started getting annoyed (around twenty or thirty seconds) it stopped. They also had some confusing angles, but otherwise, it was okay.
