I love this movie like a lot. A real descent DCOM which sends great message to kids and teens esp. those who seem to be obsessed with celebrities so much that they treat them if they were angels or something!!!! I am a 20 years old guy who is not supposed to be fan of such movies but.... this one has really impressed me with its catchy song, funny moments and other cute romantic moments.... it was almost perfect.I hate HSM movies by the way. They have nothing special except for the songs off course.... they were good but.... the story lines of these musical series were pretty lame and not interesting.This one is a real exception. It is not like the best movie I ever seen but.... it is on my best movies list. Thanks Disney.

I saw this the day it premiered on Disney Channel and I thought it was going to be great because it says it was a romantic comedy. Boy was I wrong.The movie wasn't even romantic at all (only in a few places) and the charcther's chemistry with one another was poorly written.The film is about a young girl who's older sister is obsessed with some pop star named Christopher Wilde. But when the younger sister meets him instead of the older sister romance blossoms between them. But will fame and fortune get in their way as they spend some fun time together? What really turns me against this movie is that the two lead charcthers never kissed just because the guy is 21 and the girl is like 16. Take the likes of A Cinderella Story, She's the Man,Another Cinderella Story they all contained age gap couples and they kissed so why didn't they allow these two to kiss. The music is alright wouldn't be jumping up and down for joy, the story is alright but it could have been a bit better near the end of the movie.If you are a teenager and want to watch a decent flick that doesn't have any kissing in it then be my guest but I wouldn't watch it 24/7.

I still poke around Disney Channel when I'm bored, and this film caught my eye, only because of the occasional smile I get from Sterling Knight's egotistical character on another show. Ten minutes in, I had figured out the entire plot, climax and ending, which is not necessarily a bad thing - but just about every concept in this film was either clichéd or overused. Disney is very much into the pop-star concept, only because tweens of today are obsessed with celebrity and Hollywood. Take Hannah Montana, Sonny with a Chance etc. So Starstruck is about a small-town girl that wins the heart of a famed big shot teen idol - every tween's dream right? The one major downfall of this film that Starstruck does not adhere by is the characterisation of the female protagonist. She is supposed to be relatable, likable, so that female viewers can imagine themselves to be her. This is what Stephanie Meyer got right about her Twilight novels. However, this girl, she was so insignificant that I've forgotten her name, made me cringe every time she opened her mouth. Yes, she was annoyingly pretty, but her bad acting combined with the extremely bad screen writing created an astonishly horrible character. She bitched the whole time about how irritating her older sister is, about the celebrity of Hollywood and getting a little dirty after a great day. Her and Sterling's relationship lacked any real emotion either, it was very very shallow and seemed to develop over about two sentences as everything else was simply bickering. This film was so incredibly awful, that I couldn't even bear to watch the last of it. Once I saw Knight's character on the stage at her school dance, I switched the TV off. I would not recommend this, even for bored passing time. Once of the worst films, even by Disney standards, that I have ever seen.

It struck me almost immediately while watching Starstruck that I'd seen this plot in an old movie, to be precise one that's almost 80 years older than this product from the Disney Studios.Back in 1933 William Randolph Hearst produced a film for Marion Davies in which she played a star struck teacher of French in a girl's school who falls in love with a radio crooner. The crooner was none other than the biggest crooner of the day, Bing Crosby. So Marion goes off to Hollywood to meet her idol, in fact the name of the film was Going Hollywood. Now I'm willing to bet that Sterling Knight and newcomer Danielle Campbell have no idea that they are stepping into roles originally created by Bing Crosby and Marion Davies. I really do think Going Hollywood was the inspiration for Starstruck.Danielle is your average teen girl from Kalamazoo, Michigan crushing out on teen bubblegum idol Sterling Knight. Like Davies she goes cross country to meet her heartthrob. But Knight like most celebrities leads an insulated life, heavily insulated by the people who depend on him for a living including Knight's parents. The only one who gives him an occasional reality check is pal Brandon Mychal Smith, Knight's fellow cast member from Disney's Sonny With A Chance.Chelsea Staub another Disney teen player from the Jonas series is in this as Knight's vapid and shallow Hollywood girlfriend. As for Sterling he's far from the self centered Chad Dylan Cooper from Sonny With A Chance. He's a decent soul inside, but that soul is way deep inside covered with layers of Hollywood tinsel.There's been eighty years of change in musical taste and while I might not find the score here equal to what Bing sang and Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed composed, it's decent enough and I daresay with the marketing techniques of the Magic Kingdom will sell quite a few CDs.Starstruck is easy enough to take, nothing terribly outstanding, but does show off its young cast to good advantage. Even Bing and Marion might be pleased.
