Based on the popular series of children's books by Deborah Gregory, the made-for-cable The Cheetah Girls is all about four teenage girlfriends, all from different ethnic and economic backgrounds, all ... read more read more...attending a Manhattan high school specializing in fashion design. The foursome includes the unofficial leader, Galleria Garibaldi (Raven) and her pals Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) and Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), as well as comparative newcomer Aqua (Kiely Williams). Aspiring to pop-music stardom, the quartet forms a girl group, whereupon they attract the interest of music teacher (and former disco queen) Drinka Champagne (Sandra Caldwell) -- who, in turn, refers the girls to Jackal Johnson (Vincent Corazza), a charming but duplicitous producer for Def Duck Records. Sensing that the Cheeta Girls' first taste of showbiz success will degenerate into exploitation and backstabbing, Galleria's mom, ex-model Dorothea (Lynn Whitfield), tries to save her daughter and friends from the cruelties of life in the fast lane. The Cheetah Girls debuted August 15, 2003, on the Disney Channel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    These girls...it's like they're trying to be all ghetto, but they don't really know how. This movie prognosticated Raven's bitchiness before she actually got (sort of) successful.

    A lot of terrible actng, terrible dialogue, far too many 'feel good' scenes, and just a flat out waste of time for kids and adults alike.

    A nice adaptation of the book, the soundtrack is great, although the plot seems a bit silly at times

    Blah. I couldn't even get through this movie. The acting was HORRIBLE. The singing looked like they were lip-syncing the whole time. The way they talked was even worse. If your are a pre-teen maybe you would like this movie, but everyone else...probably not.

    Disney... Although I am a (not-so-secret, lol) fan of the Cheetah Girls...it's still just a Disney movie.

    I am sad to admit that I enjoyed this the one and only time I made myself watch this. I was just young enough to still enjoy this type of movie.

    its ok. not the best movie though. i don't understand why raven is in it if she's not actually part of the group.

...Tom Hanks himself would be hard-pressed to inject life into this cliched, formulaic storyline. Full Review
