Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

So when i saw the advertise on tv i was pretty excited but believe me, when i finally saw the whole movie I WAS UPSET. Let me tell you something that i don't understand. How does the same company make Lemonade mouth ( a very good movie) and this trash? The actors were okay but the hole story and the dialogue were horrible. They talk like children and the storyline is just stupid and overused. It's sad to see how Disney is going down from movies like Camp Rock or even Geek Charming to movies like Descendents or this.
I'm starting to think that they don't even care anymore about what movies they create, they only want money. There are so many movies that are lost and forgotten because they are just trash and made in a hurry just to be there.
If you have a brain and think that this movie is cool and just like the old ones ( like me), i am sorry to disappoint you, but it's just horrible like all the movies from Disney nowadays.I mean, really. Do you actually think that they put an effort to make the white wig for the girl or when they made the clothes OR EVERYTHING ELSE??sorry for my english ;)

I'm reviewing my second DCOM. (Disney Channel Original Movie.) The last one was 'How To Build A Better Boy', which was also pretty good. (I'm an English language teacher and this'll be a fun diversion for my students, once I have edited it down to about 50 minutes and added captions.)The 'messages' aren't subtle so if you don't mind being bashed over the head with the idea that it's better to be who you are and that segregation is bad, then you'll probably enjoy this whimsical tale.What elevates this movie even more is the incredible and palpable chemistry between the two leads. If you look at other clips on YouTube of these two fooling around together and goofing about , it's clear that they really like each other and enjoy each other's company. She's a cheerleader from a well-to-do family and he's a zombie from the wrong side of the tracks... will they find true love? It's not Jane Austin but it is a fun ride. Lots of song and dance numbers, an unoriginal but enjoyable storyline and lashings of good humored banter between the characters.The catchy 'Jackson Five' style songs and the elaborate dance numbers are good fun, the story is straightforward and pleasant and the whole affair should have the girls laughing and crying in equal measure throughout the 90 minute run-time.Best lines of the movie - when Addison is trying out for the squad she wants to know what style the moves are..."Captain Bucky, was that funky chicken cajun or shake-n-bake?"
"Well, I've never heard of cajun, so... spice it up."Brilliant!

Disney hyped this movie quite a bit, and it was worth the wait. Our kids love the songs, and they'll stick in your head.I'm surprised to see so many people comparing this negatively to the Descendents. I think Decendents 1, 2, and Zombies are all fun, but I thought the songs in Zombies actually sounded like they were sung by the actors compared to Descendents' heavily autotuned tracks. Some people have complained about "bad lip synching", which I saw very little of. If I had one complaint about the songs, it's that a couple of them are actually re-used in different tempos/tones, and it would be nice to have some more originals.The story is cute albeit predictable (then again, what kids movies aren't predictable?). It's got enough plot twists to keep you entertained though, and the acting is very good overall (aside from some extras). And as I mentioned in the title, the overall theme/message of the movie is a good one, and I disagree with some of the negative reviews that it's too hamfisted.Overall, I definitely recommend this movie to parents of younger kids.
