Reviews

Aly Michalka ("Phil of the Future," pop duo Aly and AJ) and Vanessa Hudgens ("High School Musical 1 & 2," "High School Musical 3") join Gaelan Connell ("Chocolat"), Scott Porter ("Speed Racer") and Lisa Kudrow ("Friends") in the music-driven comedy "Bandslam." When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sam (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it's time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?

Disney Channel superstars Vanessa Anne Hudgens ('High School Musical 1 & 2,' 'High School Musical 3') and Alyson Michalka ('Phil of the Future,' pop duo Aly and AJ) join Gaelan Connell ('Chocolat'), Scott Porter ('Speed Racer') and Lisa Kudrow ('Friends') in the music-driven comedy 'Bandslam.' When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands. Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sam (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it's time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?

Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) is used to being bullied or completely ignored by his schoolmates. So when cool and popular former cheerleader Charlotte Banks (Aly Michalka) starts inviting him to spend time with her, the teenager is stunned — as is his single mom Karen (Lisa Kudrow). Impressed by his eclectic knowledge of music, Charlotte, a gifted singer-songwriter, asks Will to manage her rock/ska band. Her goal is to take revenge on her egocentric musician ex-boyfriend Ben Wheatley (Scott Porter) at a regional battle of the bands.

Unsure of what he's getting himself into, Will agrees to help Charlotte's band, including Bug (Charlie Saxton) and Omar (Tim Jo), eventually expanding it with a crew of like-minded outcasts. Against all odds, the group's sound starts to come together and their prospects for success look bright. Even more surprising, Will starts losing his "loser-status", up to the point there is a potential romance brewing with Sa5m^[3] (Vanessa Hudgens), a classmate with untapped musical talents.

A great movie. I was fortunate enough to watch the advance screening in Bellevue, and it was worth the travel and the day off.

First of all, the trailers and how Summit is promoting this to the public is misleading. Vanessa Hudgens isn't the main character of this movie. Gaelan and Aly are.

The story is told in Gaelan, aka 'Will's point of view. He meets Aly, a popular girl who takes him under her wing and turns him into her band's manager. He also meets Vanessa aka Sa5m (the 5 is silent) and becomes her partner in the class project.

The whole cast are wonderful, and they mesh well together. There were a lot of funny scenes that made me almost pee on myself. (so be careful when drinking soda) And the cast performance were all spot on.

The screening that I was in was mostly of people in their late 20s-60s. And when we came out of the theater, there were definitely a lot of smiles. In fact, one of them was even in the bus and couldn't stop gushing about it.

I definitely think that Summit should have marketed this to older folks as well because coming out from that theater, it was the older audience that enjoyed it the most. I'm in my 20s and the film was very enjoyable. I can't wait to watch it again.
