      Jenny M I just recently watched this movie and it's horrible. Super boring. Uninteresting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Stefan C Auf Disney nur in Englisch verfügbar, meine waren traurig weil sie ihn gerne sehen aber auch hören wollten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Susan, OK film created by Disney, to develop Hilary Duff into the mega star that she is today. They had a mega star on their hands, and they wanted to keep pushing forward. This movie is kind of corny and cheesy, but it gives you the Disney Channel vibe that they are always going for. Again, this is not a movie that I would continually reach out to watch. But it's one of those movies when you just need some thing and have nothing, that you could throw on and be OK with by the end and maybe fall asleep in the middle, and wake up towards the end and still be fine. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review MoviesSeries R Fun movie, Hilary Duff is awesome in this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/22 Full Review andy h What does messages a female empowerment and respect for the military, Cadet Kelly is forever a classic of Disney channels golden era Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Characters,Conflict, and Story are the strongest qualities of this movie. A standout lead in Hillary Duff who is able to convey emotion and heart complimented by Christy Carlson Ramano's polar opposite character. When the duo are on screen that's when the movie works best making the overall experience engaging. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mark Sachs Los Angeles Times "Cadet Kelly" isn't 21-gun-salute material, but as a glossy kids' entertainment, it manages to put across a positive message and hit its target. Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Jodi Walker The Ringer This movie taught us the unique challenges faced by women in authority positions; it taught us a wildly achievable dance routine; it taught us military time. A salute to you, Cadet Kelly. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Michael Scheinfeld Common Sense Media Wholesome Hilary Duff movie has simple, positive messages. Rated: 3/5 May 23, 2013 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...extraordinarily predictable, utterly routine... Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
