That song is the only reason why I suffered through this entire movie. I LOVE PLAY and they sang it perfectly (no surprise.) That song is the only good thing about this movie and it should be for sale on iTunes..

I watched this movie when it premiered, and immediately fell in love with it. I had liked Gregg Sulkin on Wizards of Waverly Place, and figured I'd like him here, too. In fact, the whole cast played their parts perfectly. When you think about it, most of the made for TV movies Disney make are about high school life, or based after TV shows. Avalon High, however, is different. It is refreshing and fun. It is not at all like the book, but I actually like the movie better. Avalon High is probably the best movie I have ever seen. The whole King Arthurian times idea is a good one. There aren't many movies about Camelot for kids, so I was glad this movie had the King Arthur premise, but in a version children will enjoy watching. I learned all I know about Camelot, King Arthur, and the whole time frame from this movie. Avalon High is good family fun for everyone. I highly recommend it with ten stars.

The movie in itself wasn't bad, but to give it the same name and say it's based on the book was a bold faced lie. Not only was the plot WAY messed up, but the names weren't even right!!! I looked at the cast and it says Lance Benwick, the book clearly says multiple times his name is Lance Reynolds, not to mention the protagonist, Elaine Harrison, not Allie Pennington. She's supposed to be the Lady of the Lake, not King Arthur. Why would Will's life parallel to Arthur's so much, then all of a sudden, haha,just kidding, it's Allie, who's supposed to be Ellie. If you like the book, you can like this movie if you turn it off about 20 minutes before the end of the movie.

Avalon High is a fun updating of the Arthur legend. It is totally age appropriate for young teens--as opposed to many of today's films aimed at that age group. A high schooler, Allie, is used to her parents moving frequently, supposedly the result of their scholarship and expertise on the King Arthur legends. She's excited to find out that for once they will be living in a location for longer than six months. On her first day at school, she quickly observes some of the typical--and not so typical--drama that takes place on high school campuses. The audience quickly becomes aware that a modern-day Camelot is unfolding. The characters are a little slower on the uptake. There were no award-winning acting turns, but there were no duds. I think Molly Quinn would have done better in the lead role than Britt Robertson; Quinn has more depth to her as an actress, even though Robertson is older with more credits to her name. The twist at the end was a little out there, and just barely worked, but it was still an entertaining film.
