Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Nicolas 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

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Alyssa Unlike some of the other users, i actually liked this movie. OK, so i saw it when i was younger and haven't seen it since, i loved it when i was little. I used to wish that my life could be like Sydney's. Living in Hawaii, sneaking out of the house to go watch the whales, inheriting part of Hawaii, surfing, and having a cute Hawaiian surfer fall in love with me. It's all good. Great, once again, i can't submit this comment until i hav ten lines of text. Does anyone know which island this movie was filmed on. Did anyone see "When a Stranger calls", it's weird, i hadn't seen this movie in so many years, or seen Camilla Bell in years, but i recognized her the minute i saw her in the trailer for "When a Stranger Calls."

einhard-1 Having three kids under the age of nine, I have seen more Disney Channel movies than probably any man alive. I should sue Walt Disney Company for the time wasted watching this turkey. How bad was this movie? My daughters, eight and five years old, both thought this movie was bad. The acting was stiff, to the point where elementary plays about the four food groups would win Oscars before any performance in this movie. The writing was poor, you could — and we did — guess the storyline well before it occurred. I have seen stories that third graders have written that have more meat to them than "Rip Girls." Rip Girls isn't even bad enough to make it fun to watch, a la "Plan Nine From Outer Space" or "They Saved Hitler's Brain." If the army forced Iraqi prisoners to watch this movie, they would be guilty of torture. Don't waste your time, it's too valuable for "Rip Girls."

Milenkaya Ignore the ramblings above, posted by someone who seems to want to talk more about herself than the movie in question.Rip Girls is a wonderful little creation by Disney, yes, but they do churn out some pretty good made-for-TV movies. In this case about a young girl used to the city streets of Chicago who inherits a piece of Hawaiian paradise. Her father would sooner have her sell it to a resort developer but she finds herself discovering her roots, learning the secrets of her mother's life, and making new friends.The developers want to take advantage of her. Her new "friends" are trying to influence her. And her father doesn't listen to her, treating her like a little kid. But in the end, she's the one holding all the cards and she only wants to do the right thing.Like most Disney films, this one shines on-screen and is acted better by the young cast, led by gorgeous Camilla Belle, than the adult cast, that seems largely stale and plastic. With beautiful Hawaiian scenery and culture, Rip Girls is also a lot of fun with the surfing and the skating.You don't need a movie ticket to see this one, so check it out. And see a young actress who knows how to act.By the way, that kiss mentioned is a tiny little peck. Hardly as involved as you'd expect a lusty teenager to behave.

lotsolocks Ver-E cute! I thought this was the most well done of the Disney tv movies I've seen. It's really an all ages movie, and it's something I could watch with my siblings, and my parents. I'd give this movie a 9.3 out of ten. I encourage everyone to see it.
