One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

A Brilliant Conflict
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I'm going to start off this review by saying I know my title doesn't make any sense, but f*ck you, I can do what I want. I'm a self proclaimed good movie reviewer online!1!! Before I go on any further, I just want to mention that Quints had a great idea going for it. The film casted child actress Kimberly J Brown in the lead role, which was a really good decision considering her great performance and likability in Halloweentown. She was engaging and charismatic. Besides casting Brown, the film had something else going for it with the plot, which is very unique, especially for a DCOM. To have a plot that involves a family having five kids that become product celebrities while at the same time a teenage daughter must deal with this success is a very different idea. This film started off with some genuinely funny moments that had me cracking up, including the scene where she blows up her entire town in one imaginary moment, and an entertaining idea with Jamie speaking directly to the viewers, which is termed "breaking the fourth wall." I've never seen this before in any kids movie. Unfortunately, this movie had many more flaws than pros. The film slowly but surely spirals into a sh*tstorm of cheese and corn that leaves you feeling disgusted and empty all at once. With the introduction of the character Albert, I knew this film was doomed to be a failure. I also had to skip every scene with emotional, inspirational art teacher guy because he was so annoying and over the top. I disliked him so much I don't even remember what his name was, and he was a pretty major side character in this movie. If they removed this character as well as Albert, this movie would have been so much better! The absolute worst scene in this entire movie is when poor Kimberly J Brown is dressed up as an enormous diaper. Yes, you read that right, a f*cking diaper. Wow. I literally face palmed when I saw this due to the sheer stupidity of this decision on the filmmakers part. What the literal f*ck were they thinking? That moment cemented for me how awful this movie truly is. Also, can we just talk about Fiona? GOD DAMN was this woman obnoxious and unnecessary. You know what? I take back what I said. The plot of this movie is ridiculous. Expecting an entire DCOM to be entertaining and unique for kids to engage them the entire time with the plot of a family just having five babies and struggling financially and emotionally with this is a horrid idea. Kids like movies that take them to another world, like Halloweentown, and are completely original and magical. They want actual entertainment, not normal familial struggles that are boring even in real life. Go watch Halloweentown, also starring Kimberly J Brown, which is also a DCOM classic for a reason. Quints is not, also for a good reason. The performances from Jamie's parents are what really make this movie cheesy as hell. Where did these people come from, where did they go, why did the dad end up in "Soaked in Bleach" as a cop, and what the hell were the script writers snorting up their hairy nostrils when they wrote this movie? I had vague deja vu while watching this, but never fully remembered it. I guess my brain blocked out the trauma of how horrible this movie viewing experience was for me as a child. Please spare yourself and your children of this horrid movie. Thanks.

This movie is no big title. But it is very nice for watching with children on Sunday afternoons. The plot is about the 14 year old teenager Jamie, fighting for the attention of her parents after they got quintuplets. Kimberly J. Brown is a very charming actress. She won every heart of my kids and we all liked her smile and suffered with her pain. We also — in contrary to other reviewers — have liked the surprising effects when the movie stopped with the comment "no, i was just kidding" or when the picture froze and Kimberly popped out of the scene, explaining here mind.

I'm a fan of fantasy, and I usually like Disney movies. I also have twins, and love movies about multiple birth children. This one is horrible. The biggest problem I have with it is that it completely ignores so many real things that I just can't get past. If they had had the exact same movie with triplets, I would have gotten past it. Unfortunately, quints don't go full term, they don't come straight home from the hospital and the mother isn't walking around when she goes into labor. I just couldn't get past these problems. If they had the same movie with twins or triplets (I have twins) I could have gone along with the whole thing. I couldn't get past the first half hour.

Kimberly J. Brown was great in Tumbleweeds (1999), her Southern accent was okay, her instincts were great and we all know her. Quints was my second favorite Disney Channel Original Movie next to Miracle In Lane 2 with Frankie Muniz. But all the other DCOMies are awful, they're silly, with the most horrible actors and they're not a single bit dramatic, and the shows (except for So Weird and In A Heartbeat) are terrible and silly and just like I said. They've got to stop making
