This is a cute but at some points the truth. If you are a young teen or young at heart and remember going through the teen years. You will love this movie. Its super cute and adorable.I loved it. If I had this movie around when I was a teen it would have simplified my life.I know a few parents that could open some eyes and see how this movie will help them with the teens they have.I think the 90's and some of the early 00's are the last time great movies and shows had been made. Life changed after this. Well what we watch. Again great teen movie!

Jamie (Kimberly J. Brown) is a high school student who is enjoying her life. She's loving it so much, she's constantly talking to the audience, bragging about how great everything is, similar to the new series at the time "Malcom in the Middle". She is shocked, but still annoyingly happy, when she finds her parents (especially her mother) are pregnant, and even more a delight is to be found when they reveal it's not one baby but five, hence the title of this stupid Disney made for TV movie, "Quints". The babies become too much, so they hire a strict, short lived nanny, Fiona. Fiona is an example of a character that is extremely over the top, but still somewhat works comically, played by forgotten ex-SNL member Robin Duke. Jamie starts trying to help with the babies. The babies then become a big TV hit, and chaos ensues, though laughter and fun is what I believe the director was going for.This movie will only appeal to young kids, which is the only audience it must be going for, so in this way it works. Kimberly J. Brown is certainly a charismatic lead, but her constant toothy smile, followed by her stereotypical "put the eyes and head down" sad face get old real fast, as do her monologues to the audience. The movie often goes for a surreal feel, including unrealistic daydreams which require good special effects, but here the special effects are terrible. The entire movie shouts out "Disney Channel Movie", which in turn in shouting out, "Mediocrity!"This is a dumb movie, and not great for anyone, but little kids will probably enjoy it.My rating: ** out of ****. 80 mins.

I thought this was an adorable movie! the actors were nice accept for a couple but I am not going to say who. This movie is great every once in a while but the more and more you watch it the more annoying it gets.I give this movie a eight because it's not totally boring and it's not so dramatic it will make you cry it's right in the middle.In the beginning the main character Jamie needs space from her parents and when her mom gives birth to her babies Jamie gets what she wants but finds out she does not like it that much. Soon Jamie finds a hobby that she likes and is disappointed when her parents choose something else over her accomplishments but in the end everything turns out just fine and everyone ends up happy. Anyway if you want a sweet friendly entertaining movie to pass the time on a Saturday afternoon I definitely recommend this one.
