Tweens would probably get into this more then I did . . .
I watched this last night on YTV, which is basically the Canadian version of Nick, and it was okay. Just okay. It kind of reminded me of a worse High School Musical and sequals, and apparently it reminded Common Sense of that too. I like how it had Victoria Justice in it, one of my favourite Nick actors, but I don't think this was her best role at all. I much prefered her in Zoey 101 where she had a bigger role. I actually stopped watching about 3/4 of the way through because it was getting late, and the movie was getting boring, so I didn't get to see the ending, but the beginning and middle were just alright, nothing special except for the pretty great vocals on Courtney and that Indian guy, totally forget his name here! Yeah, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend renting, let your kids watch it on TV by themselves. Tweens would probably find this more appealing, but kids as young as 7 would probably enjoy themselves, and for anyone over 13, it starts to lose appeal- fast.

It's really great shows a lot of good messages. teaches you to be your own person and be yourself no matter what. i think that this is a great family movie especially if your kids like to sing or are really independant. In all this is a great movie and i think that all you haters need to get a life and re-learn what a great movie is. Spectacular was truly Spectacular.

Nothing works
I'm sorry, but I think CSM is wrong. None of the characters are good role s. It's all on and off; one moment Nikko's right and the is wrong, then vise versa, then they're right at the same time, then also wrong, etc. There's nothing to take away here. Nobody is really that good of a character. It's kind of hard to explain, but the best way to is to say that the "good guys" aren't really that good.

HSM Wannabe that fails.
My title pretty much sums up my thoughts. It is clean, but it is just no good.

For High School Musical fans
I saw the movie when I was seven. My mom loved it but it is a high school musical four. Nothing wrong.

Spectacular! is really spectacular
This movie is amazing. They have great music in this. All of the characters are played well and they stay well in character. Anyone can watch it. It also has a great message in it. I recommend this movie to all ages.

Spectacular vs. High School Musical. And the winner is....
I am just going to write my review for this movie by comparing it to High School Musical, the movie it is meant to rival. I happen to think Spectacular did better than HSM (though no one agrees) because the plot is more mature. in HSM, everyone randomly bursts into song, making up most of the movie.In spectacular, whenever there is a song, there is a reason for the singer to be singing. (i.e. contest, kareoke, etc.) Also, the plot twists seem more serious and likely to happen, and the mean people don't turn NICE all of a sudden. The singing is also way better, and some of the jokes actually managed to make me laugh. Example: Nikko is wearing his required Spectacular! attire, which is full of lame (with an accent over the e) odd patterns, and all-around dorkiness. Humiliated to be even wearing it, Nikko says, "This is soo lame" Then one of the other members of Spectacular comes up to him and says "Actually, it's pronounced lame (accent over the e)" LOL! If you are a girl between the ages of 8 and 14, this movie is for you. Please. Go watch it. I BEG OF YOU!!!

Spectacular > HSM
This is so much better than High School Musical and I'm surprised that it didn't do better fame-wise, but oh well. The storyline is better, the music is better, and did I mention that Nolan Gerard Funk is super-cute? Definitely cuter than Zac Efron. Anyway... yeah, this is an age appropriate movie and parents should have no problem letting their kids see it.
