We all know what Vanessa Hudgens, Ali Michalka (Phil of the Future), and Lisa Kudrow (Friends) are like...right? Pretty, can sing (1st two), can play ditsy blonds (last two). Well, I wasn't prepared for this. ALL THREE of them turn in COMPLETELY believable, outstanding performances! I'm talking.. where you forget they are acting because they ARE those characters so completely. ALL the acting is spot on. Numerous times the actors employ facial expressions that communicate far more than words could have. And the male lead is absolutely perfect all the way thru. People, this is on the level of "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" for memorable, poignant, priceless moments and witty dialog! A really fine movie. All done in a believable and natural way. There are just too many great (but understated) moments to even mention. Do yourself a favor- go see it! And to those who voted "so-so" or lower:You qualified yourself as too dense to tie your shoes by yourself. Be thankful for Velcro.

This movie deals with everyday kids trying to find their place with things they love like music. Although one kids father made life hard for him due to his DUI and the consequences for that fell on the high school kid. The story is very good and has no bad language I would recomend this movie even for the very young as well as the older movie goers.

Bandslam goes beyond the expectations of another "High School Musical" in delivering a thoughtful, fun (lots of laughs!) and entertaining movie! Much talent is on display here, from Vanessa Hugens to newcomer Gaelan Connell. Connell is very effective in his role as the insecure Will who slowly gains confidence. I loved how this movie gave everyone a chance to share their talent and brought together a diverse group of people in a high school setting. The music was awesome and my whole family (ages 5 to 47!) enjoyed this film. Go see it - you won't regret it!

I took my 9 year old daughter to see this movie. I was a little hesitant going, but I am so glad we saw it. The movie gave us some great laughs and kept both of us fully entertained. The music was awesome, great story line, good acting done by all, and Vanessa Hudgens stole the movie! I had goose bumps while they sang during the Bandslam contest. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

I absolutely loved it! When Will knocks off Sa5m's hat and everything he does after that, i laughed so hard, i cried! Every cast member that plays an instrument in the movie actually plays that instrument or learned how to play their part on it for the movie, which is really cool because it's really annoying when you watch a movie and you can tell they don't know what their doing. The charaters are interesting and real and different and quirky and all around easy to connect with. They also use real music history and alot of it which makes it seem even more real. The music is amazing and the storyline is great and something i've never seen b4. It's not one of those movies with the same plot you've seen over and over with different actors! I recomend it for kids of all ages!!
