Taylor Adams Boston Globe Parents and anyone beyond adolescence will find it an intolerable attempt to cash in by imitating films they've seen before. Rated: 0.5/4 Jul 19, 2010 Full Review Adam Markovitz Entertainment Weekly For us grinchy adults out there without children to sedate, the whole thing feels slightly less like a movie than like the filmed record of a mutiny at a juvie talent agency. Rated: D- Jul 19, 2010 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Despite its absurdly optimistic title, Standing Ovation deserves a resounding chorus of boos, and maybe a few well-aimed tomatoes. Jul 19, 2010 Full Review Victoria Luxford The National (UAE) A slight, poorly thought-out take on Disney's plethora of music franchises Rated: 1/5 Oct 18, 2013 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Tween musical competition with mean behavior, name-calling. Rated: 1/5 May 4, 2012 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com The cast is energetic but the talent is amateurish and the script is dead on arrival. Rated: 3/10 Jul 27, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time. I was 4 years old when I stumbled across this movie. I still know all of the songs and choreography by heart. 100% a must watch, especially if you have kids!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Evan L It's okay enough for kids to enjoy, but looking back at this movie and watching it again gave me a plethora of memories I don't really want to remember. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/21 Full Review Audience Member All I could want from a movie. A standing ovation for the soul. The singing, the dancing, don't even get me started on the standing, the ovation. I was sitting the entire time but I felt like I was standing. Truly a cinematic marvel. I can't believe this is the first avengers movie and no one knows about it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty sure this is a movie someone just made for their daughter and her friends to be in Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Audience Member This movie was really bad nothing makes sense the acting was horrible the music was ok It wasn't catchy and was basically a cliche stereotypical movie I got bored and the plot was moving in different directions there are some songs that just have one word repeated and some of the actors look too old for there part Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not all that bad. Kids are great and other kids would love it. I don’t personally like it but kids def would Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/20 Full Review Read all reviews
