By not acknowledging differences, "Best Summer Ever" takes a generic premise and makes it feel spunky and fresh. Go to Full Review

For it being a musical, the sound and mixing truly lack quality. Go to Full Review

It's hopelessly devoted to Grease, including casting 30-year-olds as teenagers. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Both realistic & aspirational, Best Summer Ever is the sort of movie that may be fun and frothy, but it's also needed in order for bigger studio films to consider more inclusive casting. Go to Full Review

05/08/2021 This movie is AWESOME. Two hours of pure, genuine joy. See more 05/05/2021 Movie was awesome and acting fabulous! Congrats to all See more 05/05/2021 A joyful, entertaining musical with a talented cast of actors and some fun cameos. It is the best representation of inclusion that I have ever seen - never a mention of a disability, just a celebration of what is possible. Deserves all of the great reviews it has been getting. Highly, highly recommend! See more 05/02/2021 I understand how they are trying to be inclusive by using disabled actors, but the movie itself just isn't that good. With an underdeveloped plot, not fully fleshed-out characters, and forgettable musical numbers, this movie is not worth a watch. See more 04/27/2021 The kids energy and enthusiasm carry this movie. See more 04/25/2021 Stunning. Beautiful. Hilarious take on the classic "high school musical". Prepare to have these original songs stuck in your head for days, if not months... If you want a movie that will leave you inspired, delighted, and blown away by Shannon DeVido's vocals, this is the one for you. See more Read all reviews
