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.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Back in 2009 Disney Channel brought us "Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie" from the shores of Puerto Rico. Now they bring us "Teen Beach Movie", a fun beach party inspired film. McKenzie (Maia Mitchell) and Brady (Ross Lynch) are two surfers who are magically transported inside a classic '60s beach party film, Wet Side Story, where a surf-and-turf war between the surfers and bikers is in full swing. After accidentally changing the film's plot causing the film's hero and heroine to fall for them instead of each other, Mack and Brady must find a way to change the plot back whilst also finding a way back home.The storyline progressed at an easy pace for the audience to follow, while still taking the time to learn about each of the four main characters in detail. The plot line of Wet Side Story, a spoof off of the popular film "West Side Story", was both funny and enjoyable to watch. McKenzie's insistence that girls can do anything boys can do provided a great message to the audience, as well as adding extra conflict to the plot.The acting was typical for a Disney Channel Original Movie and most of the cast did a terrific job at over-acting their parts when it came to the Wet Side Story characters. Lynch and Mitchell had very believable chemistry, while Grace Phipps (Lela) and Garrett Clayton (Tanner) did a great job at over-acting their own character's relationship.The film was let down as it was laced with continuity errors. One such error occurred towards the end of the film when Mitchell's hair changed from being up to down from shot to shot. Other errors occurred throughout the film, though this was the most noticeable. The costumes for this film were very similar to those that were used in beach party movies in the '60s. The girls in this film wore high-waisted bikinis which covered their navels, a nod to Ms. Annette Funicello to whom the film was dedicated. The movie's soundtrack was reminiscent of '60s beach party tunes, and contained tracks that were catchy and fun to listen to. 'Can't Stop Singing', sung by Lynch and Mitchell, reflected the plot and worked to parody the genre of movie-musical with lyrics such as 'this can't be happening' and 'don't tell me it's a song'. As we saw back in 2009, Puerto Rico has some beautiful beaches which we got to see again in this film. It's a shame however that in the 'Can't Stop Singing' scene, there was a modern city visible in the background although this part of the film was set in the '60s.With catchy tunes, a progressive storyline and a beautiful location, Disney Channel has once again produced a thoroughly enjoyable film, deserving of the 8/10 rating given.

I love this movie so much! I watched it 4 times in just 3 days! It is so great, I just couldn't help it. The choreography is so amazing, I just want to learn all the dances! I love singing along to all the songs, and just play those even more times! More that 10 times each song, plus I've watched the bonus dances about 3-4 times each too. I loved the way each character had their own uniqueness, and how they stuck to the oldies as much as they could (Sure, there were definitely some things that were NOT old). I also found it awesome show Disney Channel is just as funny as it always has been. It just makes you feel warm inside, watching movies or TV shows like this. They don't need to be dirty or degrade anyone in order for it to be funny. And with this type of thing, you just need to be open to love it. I actually went into it hating it but about 30 minutes in the first time I watched it I started loving it. It's funny how sometimes you just need to convince your mind of something. I think that it's just a thing we do, we block something because we think it'll be stupid, or something. Oh, and another reason why I went in hating it is because the main guy that is from Austin & Ally? Yeah, I hate Austin. But I love him in this movie! He just wants to dance and have fun, and he's optimistic just like me! Anyways, I just wanted to give a review on this because I loved it so much!

The astonishing success of High School Musical in 2006 , which successfully blended the musicality of the old MGM movies with a contemporary tale of teenagers trying to find themselves, is made all the more astonishing by the simple fact that this movie was ever made. TEEN BEACH MOVIE is nothing more and nothing less than a "cautionary tale," cataloguing in one short but still extremely painful film all the things that can wrong if you actually make a movie without having a clue what you are doing. As the "dedication" off the top makes abundantly clear, the film is meant to be some sort of affectionate spoof or take-off of the original beach movies which, of course, the Disney studio more or less pioneered. Hold it. Stop right there. That was the first monster error in judgement by the producers. See, the original Disney beach movies were themselves social spoofs. The 60s was a time of social chaos and Hollywood elected to respond to that by creating "escapist" films which allowed both teenagers and adults to participate in the insanity from the safety and comfort of a soft theatre seat. The producers of the original beach movies shrewdly understood that the real audience for their films was NOT teenagers living on the beach in southern California -- THEY ALREADY HAD THE REAL THING ON THEIR DOORSTEP -- but, essentially, everyone else on the planet. The larger, and more lucrative, market was offering the vicarious thrill of eyeballing the beach crowd from cities that did not even have much sunshine, yet alone sand and sea. It was a time of change, revealing bathing suits were new, even colour movies were new. The producers of the originals understood this, and used this to their advantage. The producers of TEEN BEACH MOVIE understand nothing, as evidenced by their attempt to "make a spoof out of a spoof" (replete with production numbers in the sand, and, God Help Us, a walk-on by a Mad Scientist). For that strategy to even have a chance of working, their target audience would have to be the SAME audience that saw the originals. See the flaw in logic? What this movie does succeed in doing is seriously threatening the careers of everyone who appeared in it, Even Grace Phipps, who was very effective in the short-lived Chloe King series, looks lost, as though she wandered onto the wrong set. And the Continuity Editor (assuming this production could afford one) did not seem to notice that the young lady had the complexion of Johnny Depp from Dark Shadows, and looked like she had never been on a beach in her life. Bottom line -- shows you what could have happened to High School Musical, if the wrong people had been behind the production.

Another Disney Channel movie I was looking forward to....but what do I get a newer version of grease,high school musical,west side story,and back to the future.so the film starts out with Ross lynch from Austin & ally and Maia Mitchell from the fosters and an episode of Jessie...having fun at the beach then mack(her character) reveals that she has to leave to go to some school and follow her mothers footsteps something like that then they go to her or Brady(his character)'s granddads shack and watch part of wet side story which confused me at first I thought it was Brady's movie that he starred in so for some reason Mack wants to surf when there's a big storm coming and she goes on this ancient surfboard and gets knocked out by the storm and Brady ends up going too then when they wake up it looks the same as before but more cheery and old fashion I never got the message like why are they there? And what do we learn from this? I'm 19 I love Disney movies most of them but this was just a disappointment so they are in the movie train to figure out how to get of it they meet the bikers and surfers who have this rivalry for hangout spot which everyone uses...throughout some of the songs were good but the surfers were too cheery(I've seen grease) it was all cliché,no plot,no message at the end, I can't with this movie what will they do next? And the title is dumb even my 9 year old brother wouldn't like this movie that's saying a lot so in the movie more stuff happens Mack and Brady are trying to fix the movie cuz they made the main leads fall for them but in the end the main leads fall for each other while saying mack and Brady from this evil clan(not necessary) I liked the last song I'm pretty sure I saw some of the surfers from the movie in that dance number...Disney needs to step up their game they are slacking
