There comes a time when one decides to watch a Disney Channel movie because they want to watch something upbeat, cute and fun to pass the time. That's how I ended up watching Teen Beach and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the choreography, songs and the plot (though highly unlikely) was pretty good. I liked it for what it was and was definitely interested in checking out the sequel.However, the sequel completely strips away everything I liked about the first, especially by canceling out the first movie by making the end of Teen Beach 2 rule out the complete existence of "Wet Side Story" and the leads (Mack and Brady) knowledge of the other's existence until they re- meet. I liked the premise of the movie though of Mack and Brady going back to school and realizing the couple version of them in the summer is different from who they are in school. Except, when the cast of "Wet Side Story" entered the scene - the whole movie went downhill. Don't get me wrong, I like the characters from "Wet Side Story" but the writers didn't know how to juggle the two alternate worlds very well and the objectives for the characters could have been better. I hated how I felt this movie went in circles and didn't progress forward. Like how the songs from the first were re-featured, not in a new feeling way that could be applicable to a new situation but more for the sake of singing the song. Or how the cast of "Wet Side Story" left the real world, then came back to the real world, only to have to leave again. Was that necessary? The earlier tensions between the leads basically dissolved on their own or had no substantial backing. And, of course, I hated the ending! Mostly because the adventure of the first and second movie is completely wiped from the memory of the leads and they have to start all over again in their relationship because the movie "Wet Side Story" changed. A Whole New Alternate Reality? SMH.In my opinion, this movie missed the mark. They had all the right tools (formula of acting, singing, and dancing) but didn't know how to use the equipment... Sad, really. I wish that Teen Beach Movie was left as a stand-alone or instead the "Wet Side Story" cast was drawn to the real world to show Mac and Brady they are meant to be together in their school lives, through substantial plot, while simultaneously learning about the real world themselves. Oh Well! Another one bites the dust.

Can't believe after a two year wait this was the best Disney could come up with ... a disjointed story, less then memorable tunes, and plenty of missed opportunities ... Two years ago the idea of a Disney musical about kids on a beach sounded kinda lame to me, but I kept getting drawn in as I walked by the TV as my kids watched the original Teen Beach Movie. Finally, I sat down to watch the whole thing ... and watched it with them again, and again, and again. Yes, I'll admit it -- I was a late-40's mom who fell in love with Teen Beach Movie.Having grown up on Beach Blanket Bingo films, I loved what Disney did with this parody in the original film. It was a cute premise that paid homage to the old goofy classics in a really charming way. It was fun, funny, and the tunes were so catchy, we still break out into them from time to time in our house.So needless to say, over recent months the excitement has been building in our household in anticipation for the premiere of Teen Beach 2 ... then we watched it. Even my youngest who always thinks the sequel (or any most recent movie he's seen) is the best movie ever, looked sadly to me afterward and said he expected better. I'd been holding my tongue with pretty much the same sentiment since the movie started. My son is still holding out for redemption in a Teen Beach 3. As for me? This was the lame movie I thought I was avoiding the first time around. Sigh ... that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back ...

I was really excited for this movie because the first movie was amazing but Teen Beach 2 was kind of a let down. Sure, you could argue. Some songs were catchy, it was a great storyline, some parts were funny and some parts were very touching but I do have my reasons for writing this review. Firstly, the new people totally ruined the vibe, causing me to forget this movie was about 1962 characters. They were totally unnecessary! The movie was overall less bouncy and fun than the first one and was much less music. The ending was my least favourite scene in the entire movie! Wait? So, you (Referring to Disney) just made me cry because Brady and Mack had a massive fight (which was probably the aim) but you make me die because they completely forget about each other? IM SORRY! THATS NOT RIGHT! The first movie was so much more.... Fun and up beat. The sequel had a whole Austin and Ally vibe and I'm definitely not a fan of Austin and Ally! Lucky that the sequel wasn't the first movie otherwise I'd have a lot more frustration for this movie. I just hope there is a 3rd movie where everything goes back to normal (meaning Mack and Brady remember each other and everything they've done together) and the third has just as good a plot, just as good a storyline and the same actors and 1962 vibe as the first one.

today i watched this movie it's so catchy and full of energy and adventure it's even better than the first and it's an awesome movie for kids and families i hope everyone will enjoy it well the beginning was good but when Lela and tanner transport into Mack and Brady'S world things get better there is a lot of funny moments and the soundtrack is totally wonderful also the dancing was great i loved everything about it the story was well scripted the songs and dancing were catchy the fun never ends there is also few sad and touching moments a lot of adventure and also Magic it reminds me a little bit of one of my favourite Live action movies Enchanted when Giselle transported into the real world and she discovers a lot of things there it's like the teen version of enchanted it's my favourite movie right now.
