Synopsis

Elaine "Ellie" Harrison has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis, Maryland while her parents take a year-long sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in nearby Washington D.C. Her new high school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself. Eventually, it becomes apparent that Avalon High is a situation where the ancient Arthurian legend is repeating itself.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
tcolburn-4 Avalon High is a fun updating of the Arthur legend. It is totally age appropriate for young teens--as opposed to many of today's films aimed at that age group. A high schooler, Allie, is used to her parents moving frequently, supposedly the result of their scholarship and expertise on the King Arthur legends. She's excited to find out that for once they will be living in a location for longer than six months. On her first day at school, she quickly observes some of the typical--and not so typical--drama that takes place on high school campuses. The audience quickly becomes aware that a modern-day Camelot is unfolding. The characters are a little slower on the uptake. There were no award-winning acting turns, but there were no duds. I think Molly Quinn would have done better in the lead role than Britt Robertson; Quinn has more depth to her as an actress, even though Robertson is older with more credits to her name. The twist at the end was a little out there, and just barely worked, but it was still an entertaining film.
saecat From what i hear....this film is NOTHING like the book and that book was awesome. if it cannot at least include all the original characters, and some of the plot then it is not worthy to share the same name as the book. The last adaptation of a Me Cabot book (author of Avalon High) was Princess diaries which was a good movie, but not lie the book. the sequel wasn't even related to the book. Disney tend to go away from the books and make them tween movie that is never as good as the original book. I am disappointed in the author for selling the rights to this book to Disney, if she'd gone to Dreamworks or Universal she would've gained a better film and more popularity to boot. It's a real shame Disney get everything, but we can only hope for something decent in the future.
simscrazy_14 I was really disappointed with this movie, I through it wound be more like the book that Meg Cabot wrote but turns out to be totally different, with only a few parts from the book. I didn't like how the ending of the movie turned out to be, with all the characters being totally different, i mean how does the main character (Ellie) become king Arthur's reincarnated when she is in fact meant to be the lady of the lake. also Marco apparently becomes the good guy when hes meant to be the evil half brother, thats what really ruin it for me... it cud have been made a lot better, sorry for the bad review but the book was really good.
dory23011993 Background Allie Pennington portrayed by Britt Robertson starts a new school named Avalon High. Her parents are authors of Medieval Literature. She meets a boy named Will Wagner. The class is studying Arthurian History. Allie Pennington comes across a prophecy named the order of the bears.Review Do not miss this epic adventure of a film. Grab your horses and see this film to see Gregg Sulkin playing a character. He is a London born actor and he has played many film roles and used his British accent. You can tell that he has tried to cover the accent up but there are times where you can hear the English accent come out. He is a great actor and portrays Will Wagner as an amazing character.Watch out for all the actors and actresses giving a great performance. Also look out for a great twist in the story.
