There's no denying the tween audience was hungering for this movie, without even knowing it. [Blu-ray] Full Review

Emma Cochrane, Empire Magazine
As a marketing phenomenon, this has exceeded all expectations for a TV movie. However as cinema... maybe you just really need to be a teen to get it. Full Review

A schmaltzy little piece of obvious fluff that's directed in truly horrendous fashion and populated by cardboard characters who spit out simplistic platitudes and breathy pop tunes. Full Review
