This movie was truly horrific. Every inch of it made me cringe. Everything was horrible. This is coming from someone who enjoys bad movies. This one was a whole level of complete useless, meaningless, pain. It leads me to question the actors and crew: why? why are you doing this? Do you realize that everything you say is the most cheesiest string of words in the English film language? I don't get it. And the plot line! Why? What is the point of it? Did someone actually write this in a serious manner? why??? I guess I can admit that there is originality within the plot line because it is a rare to see a plot written so horribly. It's such a useless story line that it is rarely ventured to. So cheers for that, I suppose.

The parts that ring very, very true make the badly acted bits worthwhile. It's a good twist on the classic Cinderella story with a great message behind it that all parents struggle with--once you've raised your kids properly, at some stage, you have to let go, and often that can avert a lot of the bad behavior from kids acting out.Loved it, but would have been better if they cast different actors and moved away from the signature Disney Channel-style overacting. Ashley Tisdale's maturity really shines in the scenes between her character and her character's dad (Pollak). I liked that Robbie's character was the sweet, gentlemanly jock from beginning to end, but I wish there had been more of an explanation about why he was with Lisa (Busby) to begin with -- was it because they were expected to be together as top jock and "alpha blond" of the school, did she somehow coerce him, was it because you're expected to have a boy-/girlfriend in high school and Lisa just happened to be the most likely candidate in his social circle?Also, more specific references to Camelot vs Nottingham would have been nice. It was a good idea that was kind of explained in the beginning, but they just seemed like labels slapped onto the Haves and Have-nots with no particular reason that tied into the rest of the movie.Overall good, and maybe I'm expecting too much from an hour-and-a-half long TV movie, but I'd love to see a proper remake/sequel.

I read reviews of this movie and thought it was going to be a let down-unfunny, boring and pathetic, just like all the reviews had said But actually upon viewing it, I happened to think it was rather good actually. A little bit predictable in places but I think well worth seeing. I see striking similarities between Picture this and Sleepover but I though it was a pretty good movie. Not the best I have ever seen but quiet high on the contender list! Good for a great night in and having a real laugh. Some great acting from Ashley Tisdale and Robbie Amell! Hsving brought this in the USA as it is not out where I live yet I feel that when this comes home to me this will be a popular film!

This movie is so different from any teen movie I have watched and different in a good way. In Picture this!, Mandy just want to be somebody to Drew to find a Love that she have never had ('coz she's 18)then she's find out how important friendship is. And another thing Picture this transfer to us is Dad - Daughter relationship but most of teen movie didn't and I think it's very important thing if a movie is about teen age. In a word Picture this is a good picture for love, friend, family, hope and trying of the teenagers. I give 8/10 (I'm not giving 9 or 10 'coz I think nothing's perfect). And also Picture this is a only teen movie I think really good after Mean girls (2004, which starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams).
