75What is unusual and exciting about the movie is the assemblage of raw talent in the cast.
-
75Raises the bar for movies geared to teens.
-
63As for Duff, she's bright-eyed and bubbly, though her singing talents are nowhere near as awesome as Raise Your Voice's who's-going-to-win-the-big-scholarship plotline requires.
-
Should attract Duff's core audience but not much more than that.
-
50The movie's enthusiasm is as indelible and shiny as the lip gloss its star wears to bed.
-
50Fame this film ain't.
-
Ms. Duff's screen presence and the film's infectious high spirits will make this piece of fluff appealing to young moviegoers without conveying any sinister messages
-
50Duff makes an engaging heroine, but her immaculately coifed blonde locks and undiminished lip gloss remind viewers just how much of a star vehicle this actually is.
-
42Hilary Duff makes me long for the comparatively Dostoyevskian depths of Sandra Dee.
-
An awkward and sometimes confused thing fraught with overwrought emotions and misguided ideals.
-
40Duff, who became a teen-set role model portraying Lizzie McGuire for Disney, has sold over four million records and toured to packed houses, yet screenwriter Sam Schreiber and director Sean McNamara, both making feature debuts, set her up to sing just one song through to completion.
-
40Hilary Duff can't rise above an overbearing script with underdeveloped roles.
-
40The movie is going to be fine for PG-ready audiences, assuming they don't have a problem with extremely predictable story turns.
-
38Worst of all, though, is the movie's moral maneuvering.
-
38Loaded with so much drama that the story sinks into a grim, sloppy soap-opera mix.
-
38Actor John Corbett, so clean-cut in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Raising Helen," goes surprisingly scruffy here as someone who apparently studied music under Grizzly Adams.
-
30The poorly executed scenes in which Duff's singing voice was clearly post-dubbed and her own lack of emotional range keep the film from rising to whatever potential it may have had.
-
30The God-squad answer to Todd Graff's "Camp."
-
30This teen romance doesn't have a single authentic moment.
-
25Her dad was right about one thing. Something terrible did happen to her (Duff) in Los Angeles. She made this movie.
-
25Overlong, blandly soporific.
-
The film suffers from a syndrome I'll call the Pop Princess's New Clothes. Hilary can't really sing, and neither can Terri, so you can't help but wonder, what's the big whoop?
-
20Frankly, one's sympathy sides more with the class bitch who thinks she has the better voice and deserves the choral solo instead of Terri. In your heart you know she's right.
-
20Dreadful.
