I absolutely had to write a review on this movie. Ok, so Tara is this super shy girl, and everyone knows it right? But then, Radio Rebel announces publicly that she wants to let her voice be heard?How is it even a secret who Radio Rebel is? Also her voice isn't even changed, the pitch is the same, her tone, inflections, everything! So those two guys recording her voice and trying to match it to everyone's should match her identity to Tara's in seconds. Or at least know what her voice sounds like!Also, Principal Moreno states that anyone who knows Radio Rebel's identity, and doesn't report it to her, will be in serious trouble. Yet:-Two boys still desperately try to find who she is. (Still knowing they can be suspended for it)-Tara lets her friend Audrey know, even though she knows the dire consequences her best friend may face. (Why?)-People don't draw logical conclusions that Tara is Radio Rebel, even though their personalities and voices are the same.I have a theory that the students know Tara was Radio Rebel all along because of how obvious is was, and that they were too afraid to report her to Principal Moreno because it'd take away their only chance to dance at school.So what do we have here in terms of plot? Nothing, like I just explained, the central conflict is contrived and impossible to function as a story.Characters?None. All are cliches. The stereotypical bubbly best friend (Audrey), the mean principal who wants to shut down all the teenagers voices (Moreno), the guy who wants his music to mean something (Gavin), and the mean popular girl who is in almost every Disney movie (Stacy).And the message? Done over a million times.Pump up the Volume not only worked better as a story, but it included characters who were actual people, not caricatures. They started out and were presented as cliches, but they slowly became more nuanced. Nothing in the narrative shifts like this. Not even a little.It's not a remake of Pump up the Volume, its just a more dumbed down version of its plot. So don't watch this film, go watch an anime, much more complex than this, much more unique, more unique characters/settings etc.... I'd recommend Naruto for beginners, or perhaps My Hero Academia.

This movie is so bad. It is so bad, it is just so bad, I can't stand watching it it is so bad. I don't like the plot or derby ryan and the film doesn't make sense. Magic isn't real, so this movie is not real and it is not really good either it has no point and is just built to be another dumb Disney film, kids and parents go watch something else becus this is just going to make u wanna change the channel, everyone should watch the classic high school musical and not sixteen wishes. Sixteen wishes makes me not wanna watch TV. It is so bad. Go watch a something else becus this one is a very bad film and I don't not like it and I don't think u will like this film also as we'll, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad, dotnt watch it, it is bad u will not like it, it has no plot. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring too.

I thought this movie was pretty good. Even though i don't like Disney movies. i thought this one was good. I know that most people aren't gonna agree with this but hey every body has different opinions right? Anyways I just wanted to say that this movie was great even though there was one fault. the ending was obviously very similar to other movies. I mean why do English movies nowadays always have to end with prom. It gets kind of boring. I mean the story was different but the ending was like boring... cause i've already seen it so many times in so many movies that it seemed kind of repeated. Other than that i had no issues and please no hate cause like i said every body has different opinions.

As many other reviewers stated, this is just another Disney Channel movie, and if you dislike those, you shouldn't watch this movie. If you do dig DCOM, this is actually great. This might just be a remake, but for a remake, this is pretty good. The whole thing about Tara being PAINFULLY shy, in some sort of attractive way, is something we can all relate to, we're shy, or we know somebody who is. The other side to the Tara- character, the fact that she is "Radio Rebel", is something I can relate to. Quite frankly, every single scene Gavin(Adam DiMarco) was in, I just stared at him, 'cause he is pretty. I must say, the characters I loved the most were Larry and Barry, who obsessed about finding out who "Radio Rebel" is, even hiding in dumpsters, and Gabe, the rock-star-y character and front man of "The Gees". All in all, good movie.
