Audience Member This movie does alot to develop the character and their respective backgrounds showing that there is more to people than what you see. with a heart warming message and inspiring scenes with in the team this movie leaves the audience really admiring the dynamic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not your typical Disney flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Before Rocky and CeCe "shook it up," this was how the Mouse network did dance. The dance moves were impressive, the production values were great, and the entire Latina cast was quite good-looking. I've said before that Disney Channel knows how to make telefilms; this is further proof. Content Concerns: Sex: Some of the dance moves were a bit suggestive. 4/5 Nudity: Bare midriffs and off-the-shoulder tops are seen a few times; short shorts/skirts, even more often. 3.5/5 Language: One misuse of God's name. 4.5/5 Drugs: None. 5/5 Violence: None. 5/5 Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some slight emotional intensity. 4.5/5 Other: The girls break school rules at times to get what they want. 4/5 Score: 4.25/5 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I love I need to see it again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member love loved it! i remember the name chewy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Another lack lustre live action film from Disney Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
