Best movie ever!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

the story line is not too strong, but Garrett Clayton made this film a total 8. i just enjoy watching him acting so gay in the film, it was just crazily funny. he fits this role so perfectly. it is too funny to see him acting all silly and cute. his lines were too funny, he performed very well. i don't know if the director made him doing that, or he thought it himself, i think that this film was funnier than teen beach movie. and Garrett Clayton is just so good looking to look at. but his role just seems so gay that they should have given him a boyfriend to play with in this film, that girlfriend relationship obviously doesn't work. i would watch teen beach 3 if he is in it again.

I saw the first one, 'Teen Beach', about a year ago. Back then I wrote in part, " I found it totally fun to watch, with its playing on the time-travel themes and real people influencing characters in a movie." Now I can say the same for this one. For what it is, for what it tries to do, it is a very nicely entertaining movie.Most of the cast are the same actors in the same roles but the time- travel reversed. The young actors are talented and energetic and the movie has several nice singing and dancing production numbers. It is a nice throw-back to the beach movies of the 1960s when I was an actual teenager. In the first movie Ross Lynch as Brady and his new girlfriend Maia Mitchell as Mack are on the surf and magically get transported to their favorite movie, they have encounters with the characters, much as the twins do in "Pleasantville." In this movie the opposite happens, one of the girls in the movie finds Mack's lost necklace and it magically transports her and her boyfriend into Brady and Mack's world. Those two are Grace Phipps as Lela and Garrett Clayton as Tanner.Much like in both "Pleasantville" and in "Purple Rose of Cairo" the characters only knew what was contained in the various scripts and had to learn most modern stuff anew. Like what a cell phone is. And, like in "Back to the Future" where Marty's siblings started to fade from a photo when it looked like he might have messed up his parents' getting together, in this movie characters start to disappear when it looks like Lela and Tanner like their new world too much and might not travel back to the characters in the movie.And there is yet another wrinkle, if they don't go back then the movie might never exist and Brady and Mack would never meet by never seeing the movie. All of this is of course resolved by the end, and like in "Pleasantville", Mack and Brady tell the characters that they don't have to do what they always did, they can change things up.The movie ends with an extravagant production number, the movie is playing on a big screen outdoors in the background while on the beach the cast are dancing and singing on the beach. The real kids and the characters in the movie are doing the same moves, it comes across really well.I saw it on Netflix streaming.

Can't believe after a two year wait this was the best Disney could come up with ... a disjointed story, less then memorable tunes, and plenty of missed opportunities ... Two years ago the idea of a Disney musical about kids on a beach sounded kinda lame to me, but I kept getting drawn in as I walked by the TV as my kids watched the original Teen Beach Movie. Finally, I sat down to watch the whole thing ... and watched it with them again, and again, and again. Yes, I'll admit it -- I was a late-40's mom who fell in love with Teen Beach Movie.Having grown up on Beach Blanket Bingo films, I loved what Disney did with this parody in the original film. It was a cute premise that paid homage to the old goofy classics in a really charming way. It was fun, funny, and the tunes were so catchy, we still break out into them from time to time in our house.So needless to say, over recent months the excitement has been building in our household in anticipation for the premiere of Teen Beach 2 ... then we watched it. Even my youngest who always thinks the sequel (or any most recent movie he's seen) is the best movie ever, looked sadly to me afterward and said he expected better. I'd been holding my tongue with pretty much the same sentiment since the movie started. My son is still holding out for redemption in a Teen Beach 3. As for me? This was the lame movie I thought I was avoiding the first time around. Sigh ... that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back ...

today i watched this movie it's so catchy and full of energy and adventure it's even better than the first and it's an awesome movie for kids and families i hope everyone will enjoy it well the beginning was good but when Lela and tanner transport into Mack and Brady'S world things get better there is a lot of funny moments and the soundtrack is totally wonderful also the dancing was great i loved everything about it the story was well scripted the songs and dancing were catchy the fun never ends there is also few sad and touching moments a lot of adventure and also Magic it reminds me a little bit of one of my favourite Live action movies Enchanted when Giselle transported into the real world and she discovers a lot of things there it's like the teen version of enchanted it's my favourite movie right now.
