SkyRo P "Going to the Mat" was a beloved Disney Channel movie starring Andre Lawrence during the Lawrence brothers' heyday in the early 2000s. The plot centered around a visually impaired student who joins the school wrestling team and faces various challenges. The film beautifully showcased the bonds formed among the characters, although some viewers believed that John's character could have been fleshed out more for added depth. Additionally, Jace's character, while understandably dealing with frustrations due to his disability, came across as overly harsh at times. While the character development was generally strong, some felt that a particular romantic relationship could have been more prominently featured, especially regarding Jace's storyline. Despite these critiques, many viewers enjoyed the movie and found it to be a heartwarming watch, even if it tends to slip from memory until stumbled upon by chance. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Rosana B Filminho lindo, com roteiro simples, emocionante e eficiente, que eu até pensei ser mais uma biografia como tantas outras que a Disney sempre faz que nos cativam e nos fazem chorar e deixar o coração quentinho, com lindas lições de moral e superação, amizade, família, humildade e união... O lindinho dos irmãos Lawrence e o fofo do Khleo Thomas… s2.. Extremamente fofinho e Lindinho...

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This Disney Channel movie was pretty good. Andrew Lawrence, Khleo Thomas, Billy Aaron Brown, D.B. Sweeney, Wayne Brady, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The story of the movie was inspirational, dramatic, and interesting. It's about doing something to try and fit in with a new crowd and believing in yourself and your friends to be better than they think they can be. If you're a Disney+ member, you should watch this movie sometime. You'll probably enjoy it.
