Some may say that this movie is "un-realstic". Sure it is, but thats part of what makes it entertaining. Not all of these girls are stuck-up-rich-brats. Dorinda is a foster child with a very good heart. Chanel is not completely stuck up & is still there for her friends. Aqua is an interesting character in the first movie & Galleria is semi- stuck up. You still have to remember that in the first movie they are suppost to be freshmen. With this, do you expect them to be totally mature? Overall, the Cheetah Girls send a great message out to young girls. They celebrate eachothers differences & show girls that you don't have to conform to a certain stereotype to be pretty. None of them are stick thin, but none of them are extremely overweight... well Raven was a little but she is not a Cheetah Girls anymore. They are different races, have different family lifestyles, and all this & are still best friends. This movie has a message of accepting people for who they are & not judging. It also encourages girls to go for their dreams. Most importantly now its showing girls not to conform to stereotypes. Like I said, none of them are stick thin & they are all different, yet they are all beautiful. I think that this is so important with the society we have today, constantly pressuring girls to look a certain way. Sabrina Bryan, Kiely Williams & Adrienne Bailon are great actors & singers & also outstanding role models. This movie is the best Disney movie ever. In the movie they might not seem like the best role models, but in real life, the use their fame wisely and are amazing role models.
... View MoreThe Cheetah Girls tells about four friends who's band name is the same as the name of the movie. They are about to participate in a Talent hunt show at their school but then a bigger offer of singing for a famous person connected with music could make them well-known. But because of one girls being bossy and presiding over them, things don't go well.The thing I did not like in this movie is the amount of attitude each person shows. It has to be Raven who has to show much of attitude, not the other girls. But all of them behave in such a way that you love to hate them. Raven can't be blamed because she has to be bossy, but the other girls are unnecessarily shown too over smart.This is because of bad direction and not a well written script. The director could have told the other three girls to behave normally and not show their attitude while the script writer could have given the girls a much better script so that the audience felt as if only Raven was the bossy and the spoilt one and not the others.Proceeding to the performances, I feel that Raven has done a good job compared to the others in being a rude and mean girl but she gets somewhat irritating when you keep seeing her doing the same for a long time. The girl who comes as her best friend has not done a good job. The way she shouts over the telephone, her somewhat haggered looks and her expressions make you feel unsymphatetic for her even she she is shedding tears. The other black girl, I don't know her name, too has not given a good performance. In fact, she doesn't seem to be their friends at all. Her expressions and her way of talking towards Raven's best friend makes her look as if she is their nemesis. You know, when she talks to Raven's best friend, she looks as if she is commanding her. The fourth cheetah girl too hasn't done a nice job. You can't believe that she is a foster child with very little money with all her style and her way of talking. Raven, out of the four, shines because she has done more of acting, I think and because the other three are mainly singers.The lady who comes as Raven's mother makes me go red. She is so annoying, not letting Raven do anything and treating her like a child. I wouldn't have hated her so much if she had a shorter role. The man who comes as Raven's father has to be given the address of the Actor's school. Raven's best friend's mother didn't have much of a role, therefore, I am not commenting about her.There is no chemistry between Raven and the guy who loves her. The showed her rejecting him in some of the scenes but at last, he comes to console her when she is lonely. It looks as if she doesn't really care for him but just because she was so sad, he came as the agony aunt. The last Toto scene was perhaps one of the worst, the weirdest and the stupidest climax in the history of Hollywood. If my dog gets trapped in some manhole or something, only the animal control, my inquisitive neighbors and rarely, reporters would turn up. But her, almost a part of the city arrives to the spot. It's such a silly way to reunite the Cheetah girls. There are some witty dialogs though, especially when Raven says, "If he cannot respect my art, he cannot have my heart!". The songs are good to listen too but there was a shortage of songs. I mean, its about music so there should have been some more songs.Overall, its a hammy movie that fails to capture your heart and is uninspiring. 3 out of 10 is my final verdict.
... View MoreI totally understood this movie! It was awesome! I just think that Galleria was acting kind of childish because she walked out on her friends because Jackal Johnson didn't use their music. But like when Toto fell into the hole, that brought the Cheetahs back together. I haven't seen the second one yet so I can't comment on that one right now!But anyway, I haven't seen the movie for over two months and I remember every part of it! My favorite parts were: the part where they all join back together in the end and when they performed "Cinderella" and Galleria's dog ran up and started dancing with the Cheetahs. I loved Toto, he was so cute! I also loved the outfits they wore. Also when, in the beginning, the Girls singing "Together We Can"! The dances were really good until-well you will have to watch to find out what happened!!The parts I didn't like were when Galleria gave a few sheets of paper to Doe with th outfits with it or when she took Aqua's hot sauce away from her! =( Also I didn't like that Galleria was so controlling!!! Uhh, it was so annoying! I also thought that Jackal was sometimes kind of rude! But other than that I loved the movie! I like the Cheetahs in this order, Channel 30%, Doe 30%, Aqua 30%, and Galleria 10%. I really hope this gets posted. I worked so hard on it! I recommend this movie 100% awesome!
... View MoreI like the Movie, i think it was very good, and it had a great style of singing and i really like the movie a lot, i can not wait to see the second movie. I think that they are all very good singers and i can not wait to see what will happen in the next one, i never had read the series of the books, but, i think that the movies are very good, i think that the four girls are amazing singers. I hope that the cheetah girls never ever brake up, because if they do, that will make the whole movie really unfortunate, but, i really do not think that the cheetah girls will at all break, up, i hope they do not, but, i do not know, but, if they did, that would be really, really upsetting, so, i hope that they do not break up.
