A clean, fluffy, cornball movie that is appropriate for most kids, in the typical Disney fashion. However, I do NOT agree that the lead female character (Jessica, played by newcomer Danielle Campbell) is in any way a good role model. She is condescending towards her older sister, Sara, and shows almost zero sisterly affection or understanding for her celebrity obsession. It's perfectly normal for young girls to have their celebrity crushes, as long as they don't go overboard. I would sooner worry about girls who are "haters" and make fun of other people's hobbies or passions. The stereotypical portrayal of the "crazed fan" is getting so old. What's more disturbing however, is the way Jessica exhibits an extreme level of rudeness to a total stranger, famous pop star "Christopher Wilde" (played by Sterling Knight), on whom she passes every cliche judgment without bothering to get to know him first. He's good looking, rich and famous so he MUST be a jerk--right? Sometimes she is downright cruel, telling Christopher that his life is "fake", which is why he is not worth befriending. Eventually Jessica comes around and gives him a chance to prove his "realness", but her default behavior is unacceptable. Teaching kids to automatically latch onto the worst in people is the reason why they grow up with such cynicism and angst. I don't think any parent would wish for a daughter like Jessica, who showed unreasonable hostility towards a boy who was only trying to do the right thing by her (ex. bringing her to the hospital when he accidentally hurt her). Furthermore, the underage girls in this movie also engage in irresponsible behavior which would have disastrous repercussions in the real world. Going out to clubs, walking in dark alleys alone, and getting into a car with a stranger?! In HOLLYWOOD no less, just about the worst place for kids to pull those stunts. Positive side: Sterling Knight is a fairly talented actor who does well with the teeny-bopper material he's given. He is the only reason I watched this in the first place, but I hope in the future he's given roles that are less shallow or slapstick. I enjoyed his singing, especially the song, "Hero".

Once again, another example of why Common Sense tends to over-rate all the wholesome stuff with good messages. While this movie was squeaky clean, this was no High School Musical. It's extremely contrived, very predictable with plot twists coming a few miles away, and just a bland rehashing of old Disney movies put in one. Not to mention that the music is over-produced and bland as well. Too much drama for younger kids but there's nothing to worry about other than losing some brain cells.

its ok its not so bad I think that it has a little to much of the kissing thing you see I am onley seven so I don't no as much so I think that it is ok for a 14 or 15 but I don't no about eight years old? But I wolud say yes if you were judging it for yes or no I wolud say for age ten and up I wolud say yes.

Just like all other Disney movies I think this one is a good movie for any aged kid that wants to watch it. I see nothing wrong with this movie
