Teen Beach Movie #movieReview by Gigi #surfsUP!~

What Gigi (age 8) said: 

"Teen Beach movie is a musical with a bunch of cool songs. I watched this movie over and over and over and I was so excited to get it in the mail!!!

It has Ross Lynch (Brady) & Maia Mitchell (Mac) as the main characters. They get trapped in a 1960's beach movie! OH NO!!  What to do? Like most Disney movies, break out in song and find some true love. Romance is in the air for these lovebirds and the movie did capture my attention.

 The story is about surfers and bikers that live on the beach. They all love Big Momma's a restaurant on the beach, where most of the story takes place. They are enemies though... 

I think the movie was REALLY good and I would definitely watch it again!!"  (Gigi age 8)

" Brady (Ross Lynch) and McKenzie "Mack" (Maia Mitchell), are high school sweethearts enjoying their time together surfing at the beach. Each time Brady mentions their best summer never ending, Mack looks guilty as if she is hiding something from him but he doesn't notice it. After coming back inside McKenzie's grandfather's hut, McKenzie sees that Brady is a fan of the film "Wet Side Story", a film set during the 1960s. In the film, bikers and surfers battle for which gang gets the privilege to hang out at Big Momma's, a local diner and hangout. Mack, however, does not like such shows, viewing it as silly and illogical (as in the characters start singing about things for no reason and when they go in the water their hair never gets wet). Brady later learns that Mack made a promise to her aunt that after her mother died she would attend a private school and they were to leave the next day.

Brady is annoyed Mack never told him about this (which she regrets) and is very sad she will be leaving. Mack asserts that although going is her choice, she feels it is what she has to do, since it's what her mom would want. She sadly informs Brady that they will have to break up since when she leaves they will be unable to maintain their relationship.

As Mack packs up to leave, she then decides to go and surf a few hours before the flight, as that day the 40-foot wave is going to hit the beach. Seeing that the waves are becoming too strong, Brady gets on a jet ski and goes after Mack, who is still in the ocean. When Mack tries to ride a fairly big wave, she falls off her board and submerges and Brady jumps into the ocean after her. The two are swept away and when they end up on another beach they find out they've been swept inside the movie "Wet Side Story"." SOURCE

As a mom, I love that Disney still put's out classics for our kids to grow up with, remember and share with their own (kids) one day! I love the "Wet Side Story" pun and the movie really is age-appropriate for my eldest daughter who is in between "grown-up" movies and cartoons.  Disney has always been- and remains as an adult, one of the best contributors for television entertainment for kids!! As soon as the promos started for this DVD Gigi had already expressed a lot of interest in watching it. I usually don't like musicals, but even I found myself humming along the next day, songs still stuck in my head from the night before!  If you love Disney movies too, add this to your must-see list of movies!!
Even my toddler recognizes the name and seems to like it too! When we turn the DVD on, she breaks out into dance, and starts to cut a rug!
