Alright, now that everyone has bashed the movie, and mentioned some of the negative points, I'm going to write a review based on all the positive aspects of this movie. So, pretty much all the users have already summed up what this movie is mainly focused on - 4 teenage girls, living an ordinary life, who want to achieve their goal of becoming a well-known pop group. Then mixed with some dramatic scenes, romantic scenes, and also some family love shown.Firstly, I believe the introduction to this movie is a very good way to start the film off with - 4 best-friends chilling outside, dancing, and having a good time in general. What's so bad about that?The characters grow on me as well. They're portraying how teenagers are, and I must say the portrayals are spot on - well, majority of the times. Galleria - strict on what she wants to accomplish, is straight-forward, and doesn't think before what she says...it's not until the very end where she realizes all her mistakes, and that she truly needs her friends back. Chanel - is Galleria's "home-girl" in the movie. She's a pretty rich gal, but can get lonely at times as her mom is rarely at home. Dorinda - a girl who lives for dancing, which is the only thing that really keeps her going when times get rough, besides her friends. We slowly find out, that she lives in a foster home, to which her friends don't find out until later into the movie. Aqua - this girl's main passion is for fashion! She's the diva type of the group, the "glamorized" one, who can get pretty nasty as well when drama comes into action. I feel like the film also displayed the relationships between the teens, and their families, to a great extent. I mean, you don't really get those moments anymore in Disney films.Overall, this movie, in a way, can be viewed negatively, and/or positively. It's all based on personal preference. I like to give all movies a chance, and see good in them, especially Disney movies. However, now-a-days, the films in Disney are becoming more unrealistic, and the moral of the story-lines...they're just out of tune. Back in the day, the Cheetah Girls were all kids/teens mostly talked about, it was the "it" movie that everyone had to watch. Moral of the overall film in my opinion is: In order to reach your goal, you must put all your effort into it, even though you know you'll fall down at times. However, the ability to stitch all the rough patches together, and learn from all your mistakes; you'll have the strength to rise back up to the top, and aim for your one ultimate goal.

Okay. Seriously? 3.8?I get it. The acting wasn't something to give an award for. Perhaps it's cheesy and you think that only 6 yr old girls will like it and the music. Nope. I'm a grown ass man and I still love this movie. My niece, who is only a year younger, also loves it. Hell, my mom doesn't mind it either. She's 53.I've seen people say "Oh, all the girls were selfish-- they wanted fame and--" etc blah blah. Since when is it selfish to pursue your dreams? They wanted to get their music out there. And Galleria was selfish for not wanting to bend to Jackal's will? She didn't want the Cheetah Girls to become what someone else would want. What they didn't envision.The other girls saw the ere of it as well, after thinking about it. It came down to 'The image Jackal wanted the Cheetah Girls to be, or their family The Cheetah Girls'. In the end Galleria, torn by losing her best friends, she was the one to make the first move to try and repair their friendships.Yes. There were some errors. But guess what? It was a TV MOVIE. Not something made in Warner Brothers Studio. It was something made by Disney Channel for whoever watches their channel. It was one of the last vestiges of the old Disney channel before Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez took over with their bullshit shows. Is Cheetah Girls a teen movie as well? Yes. But it was more like Lizzie McGuire than like Hannah Montana.Was it the best movie from Disney of all time? Of course not. But it's entertaining, the music is good and in the end the girls learned their friendship was more important than bending to the will of the big company manager. They said they'd do it their own way. Is it selfish to follow your dream the way you wanted it? No.It's not something that I'd give a five star review to. But I can remember watching this and some of the 'morals' other people thought was being sent out, I didn't see. I saw the morals that your friends are more important than your fame. You should follow your dream and be happy. That you shouldn't let others tell you how your dream is to be lived.All in all, I love it for the nostalgia mostly, but also because it was a great time before Disney started shoving this bullshit called Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana down our throats. High School Musical and everything else on Disney Channel these days needs to be chucked off a bridge and they need to bring back the old shows. Put Zenon on! Some Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, or hell, just show the old Disney movies like Lion King!Anything but what we have today.I know many of you aren't going to like this review. Either way, I don't care. I had to give my opinion and I had to show my love for old Disney before they started killing it. The ratings must be horrible.

This is another made-for-TV film and as such is a film that is not high on intellectual output but, if you just sit down and as with Charlies Angels 1 and 2 (the ones with Cameron Diaz, Bill Murray etc.) leave your brain at the door and just enjoy the film for what it is (which is a film about four mid to late teens trying to make it big as self-choreographed (by one of the group members) singers in the music industry) then you should have no problem liking or even loving the film.The film centres on four teenagers (the characters' ages not the actresses) but around them is the usual thoroughfare that is seen in these types of films. There was the unscrupulous record boss that wanted to change them and their style. There was the mother/manager that against her better judgement allowed her daughter and the group to almost get done by him and there was the silly ending that brought the girls back together after one was even less willing to follow the boss's ideas even more than the other three and walked away from the group. The other three eventually decided she was right and also left but by then the group was no more until the silly ending that is. Knowing and accepting that it was following the usual plot lines for this type of film meant it could be enjoyed and yes the second one was better but this one was by no means as bad as others have made it out to be. 8 out of 10 for me.

This was one of the best movies i have ever seen. It gives teens like me who want to go in to the music bisnuess that we can do it. The cheetah girls are some of my biggest role models. So i don't like all the bad things people are saying about it. All the teens and even younger kids need to know that they can reach their dreams if they try hard enough. So for all of y'all (yes i am from Texas) who don't like it watch it again and think of all the little kids who watched it and wanted to be like one of the cheethas. And while you do watch think about your kids, nieses, nephews, and grandchildren who want to be like the cheetahs and. Then see if you think it is as stupid as most people think and say it is.
