MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Pepper_Mouth I could relate to this movie. The actresses did a great job. Some people say it's unlikely a girl would write stuff in her journal like "With a flick of her finger, Is ZAPPED Myrna and her vicious clique into perpetual detention." 1) That would result in early conflict, thus, in early movie. TRUST ME ON THIS. Besides, how do you think writers write so you can feel your actually there, it's a real experience? They take they're own real life events and change it around. The reason it got an eight instead of a ten is because that scene in gym. She's writing on her tablet. Wouldn't a gym teacher punish her? They punish people for every other little offense, why not miss this one? This is an awesome movie, don't get me wrong, very nice.

Guitar-8 In the book version, the main character had an older sister. Looks like they made a good call having an older brother instead.Nick Whitaker didn't do much in High School Musical, but it was his turn to shine on Read It and Weep. Gotta love that brown sunburst electric guitar he played (have that same guitar myself, only it's black). But it was heartbreaking that Jamie found his guitar destroyed in half and placed in a trash can.The big surprise was when he played the guitar & sang "I Will Be Around". The kids dancing to that tune, made me laugh, even the principal! When I think of Read It and Weep, I can't get that song out of my head! Good job, Nick Whitaker.

metaphim428 Ya know, when we first started watching this movie I thought, "Hmmm... Interesting premise." A girl, Jamie Bartlett (Kay Panabaker), finds a headband that helps her to have an alter ego "Is" (played by Danielle Panabaker, her older sister.) Using the people she meets at school as characters in her journal, "Is" has many fantastical journeys the when the book is published causes Jamie to have instant success. During one of her classes the cutest guy in school, Marco (played by Chad Broskey) had to read a poem, she instantly falls in love with him.This is when the "typical" aspect of it starts to come out. Once she becomes famous she starts to turn her back on her friends, who consist of two girls and one boy; Connor. (who is also madly in love with Jamie but is too scared to say anything). As it turns out he was the one who wrote the poem that caused Jamie to fall in love with Marco. Now her friends, alienated, start to not like Jamie anymore. But its during one fateful television interview that Jamie inadvertently lets the cat out of the bag when she refers to a character in the book but uses the name of the girl that she based the character on. This causes everyone to turn against Jamie. (Wow, didn't see that one coming) Everyone except Marco. But this is to be expected considering he's the only one who wasn't bashed in the book.Once the truth comes out and and everyone hates her the only person who really sticks up for her is Connor. When everyone else is writing "Letters to the Editor" to the school newspaper hes the only one who writes something good. Recognizing the writing style as the same one that wrote the poem that she loved so much earlier on she believes it to be Marco who wrote it.Flash forward to the big dance. Shes talking to Marco and finds out that he didn't write the poem or the letter to the editor. She finds out it was Connor. She gets called up to the stage to be awarded for something that she had no part of. The decorations for the dance. Her friends and her had originally signed up to do it but once her book became famous she ditched them for her new friends (the cool people). {{Again, typical Disney movie style.}} Anyway, once she gets on stage everyone starts booing her, and she comes to realize what she must do. She apologizes for everything and runs out to catch Connor before he leaves. Its the same formula that is used in many Disney/children's movies. Its quite predictable. However, that being said, I thought it was a very cute and sweet movie.

i-love-jam I felt like this movie was going to be great but it ended up being one of my least favorite movies ever shown on Disney! I do like the plot, but I didn't expect Is to take over Jamie's life and be evil! I'm a big fan of Danielle Panabaker and don't like to see her as an evil character when working with her sister! I also don't think she had a big enough part, and Kay had too big. I don't understand why they would have made this movie sound so perfect and turn out so not! I think that they should have not changed the actors, but maybe had a better script....I just really didn't like it that much at all!!!!!! It's just sad that Disney channel can make awesome TV shows that don't look good until you watch them, but make movies the complete opposite!!!!
