I love the fact if the main character had shown any decency and asked the lady where she was going, maybe they could share, she would have ended up in a cab ride with this super important broadway lady and had time to chat her up and probably seal her career in the other direction.

[@jaybee9552]

[@jerseytomato100]

I don’t think she’s pretty, at all. 🤷‍♀️

[@lakacialloyd9027]

It reminds me of Aquaman. That was literally a movie just to showcase how hot Jason Momoa is. There were shots of him literally posing.

They do the same thing in her break though movies “descendants”. Those movies where insanely focused on the characters good looks, like to the point u become uncomfortable

[@megs3236]

Why was the other team disqualified for having a girl over the age of 8, but then that implies Sarah is 8 or younger? So they had an 8 year old wearing fake cups and having a crush on a high school jock? I'm very confused and it all seems sketchy...

[@princessofhell4639]

No there were several categories. The 3 little kids (2 of which who were doing a starlift) are the under 8s whereas the main team are in another category Jamie left out a very funny fact that the little boy wasn't even really on the team he was left their by his parents as free daycare and in one of the many competitions the 2 little girls freeze and he comes onto the stage dancing to like save them ig (cus obvs he knows the moves from watching them) and then is just included

[@hungrygoriya]

I think the worst part about the main character leaving at the competition was that she clearly packed a bag in advance and brought it with her. The abandonment was pre-meditated! Self-centered doesn't even begin to describe her.

[@lilacfantasy4]

The way she treats the girls is so very bothersome to me because I was bullied by a full grown adult in fourth grade and it wrecked my self esteem for several years. The fact that she does not change and still gets everything she wanted just rubs me the wrong way.

[@nativenewyorker3144]

Wait but she does change. These types of movies are very basic in plot so she ended up having her redemption moment

[@suitdoggy4707]

My music coach was like this. I was fucking 14 and almost cry multiple times in class. He called me the weakest link in front of everyone which made the other kids pick on me.

[@Kristyle187]

Same thing happened to be, but it was when I was in first grade, and it was my school teacher. It made the rest of my childhood so much more difficult than it had to be because I felt SO inferior to everyone else. I was so painfully shy, it made it so I had an incredibly difficult time making friends. Heck, I was even diagnosed with Asperger’s and put on a few different antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds as a teenager. It was a complete misdiagnosis, as I eventually developed my social skills to an acceptable level. No one who knows me now would ever guess all of this was true about me. But yeah, I suspect it largely boiled down to me having been traumatized by my teacher.

[@ellecimz6618]

My goodness i feel so horrible for people that had this experience. I mean my own dad bullied me but I also had a lot of teachers who tried to make me feel better about it and give me confidence. However I still didn't believe i was very talented until a few years ago.😣

[@dawnmichelleseidlgodsey120]

❤️❤️❤️ I am so sorry you had to go through that... I can relate that by my own experience, and know you aren't alone. This is both meant to let you know I get you and sooo many people in here get you too which I good for us but it SUCKS that children have to be put through this and I was by my first grade teacher in 1975. I had just turned 6. She was a special kind of evil. It was my first school experience and it ruined my outlook on school and trust but THANK goodness m second grade teacher who shared a bathroom for us little ones made sure I was in her class. She was the polar opposite. However it had serious repercussions for years and years and I am happy to say that at the age of 54 I'm finally learning how to heal my inner child and I think that comedy and laughter is one of the best forms of medicine and community I love how Jaime is not a bully she's been there gone through it done it and has brought us all together on here ❤️

[@rosierangerblargh]

As a person born and raised in Wisconsin, I will say this movies portrayal of my home state is quite accurate. I, too, eat blocks of cheese to feel better about my life. Also, the giant tubs of cheese balls is actually the most accurate. Love Utz Cheese Balls.

[@izzylopez81]

As a mom of a Hard of Hearing child, I wanted to note a few things 😬 1st, that girl actually is deaf. I'm surprised her mom was ok with what Sofia's character said in the movie (or maybe she wasn't). 2) My daughter is HoH, and had 3 fully deaf kids on her cheerleading squad. If Sofia's character knew literally ANYTHING about dance, she would know that you dance in counts, and they don't need to be able to hear the music. Someone completely dropped the ball with that one. It was pretty abelist, tbh. Just wanted to point that out 😄

[@D0MiN0ChAn]

Not that I'm expecting proper research from Netflix show runners in this day and age anymore, but that's definitely messed up 😩 How can you not acknowledge something so important to dance culture when making a *dance movie* ?! Has anyone from the writing team ever been involved with dance at all? Ugh! I'd eveb bet the girl's mom told them but they were too lazy to rewrite any of the script because how could they get away with ableist remarks otherwise?

[@NoraNekoNikki]

Maybe it was to add to the main character being ridiculously insufferable, and also for people who have that thought to understand that deaf/HOH people can dance. Like I didn't assume that deaf people couldn't dance, but I wouldn't have been sure of how they did so without your explanation. Thanks for adding to my knowledge!

[@jenniferrohlf200]

Seriously! Before music is ever set to a routine, the entire thing goes off of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 to make sure every move is performed in sync. That’s why it is actually a perfect sport for hard of hearing people. There is no depending on the music.

[@coresalentino1]

That’s what my fully hearing 10 year old daughter said IMMEDIATELY when we first watched this, “she counts, duh!!!”

[@FlagCutie]

I was gonna say, just because someone can't heard doesn't mean they can't count lol

[@moreonthisat7393]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sofia Carson had a requirement in her contract that doesn't allow her to be (or be seen as) the bad person in movies. Like how Vin Diesel and The Rock have that demand in their contracts where they can't lose in a movie they're in.

[@l0serboi]

During covid we had a day where we couldn't go to the gym in our dance focused PE class. Our teacher asked us to pick a movie, and a few girls went so feral over this movie that we had to watch it. Our teacher looked miserable.

[@shadow81818]

It seems to me like the movie treats the kids as props just like April does in her first dance with them. It doesn't care about the deaf girl, or Ruby wanting to dance, or Sarah and her grief or her chicken cutlet, they're only there so that April can "earn" her redemption by helping the team, so once April gets her life in New York and her boyfriend back, the movie doesn't need them anymore and just drops them.

[@kristenlandon796]

Yes, agreed! My thought was like the world only revolves around April and she gets rewarded for “coming back” -a tiny step in the right direction- but not owning up to her problems or growing up, to say the least. And yes, the kids felt like props in more ways than one. 😏 👎

[@judyh3707]

Yeah. The protagonist is extremely self-centered and the movie is about nothing but her. Fitting!

[@jaesynn2015]

"chicken cutlet" has me wheezing harder than it should 🤣🤣

[@dawnmichelleseidlgodsey120]

Kinda sort of reminds me of the really horrible bad reality shows Dance Moms & Honey Boo Boo. They weren't funny cuz they were actually exploiting kids and the so called moms and adults were atrocious. They were hurting not just their own children but creating bullies and condoning it to hurt other children. Generational Mean Girls for sure. Not entertaining at all. Sorry didn't mean to be a Dawnie Downer. I was bullied horrifically 6th- 1st Semester of my freshman year.vsi bad I gave my parents an ultimatum of moving back to our home town with them or without them. My "disability" is learning, & short term memory problems. I am a 70's 80's kid and a young " adult" in the 90's. My Cousin used to teach sign language and was an interpreter back starting back in the late 1970' s. She still is an interpreter but had to retire from teaching for health reasons. She taught me so much and is such a inspiration. A friend of mine was born to both of her parents being completely deaf since birth . She had no hearing issues. She is an interpreter out on the west coast. I have so much respect for anyone who dedicates their lives to making a positive life for children and for anyone who is born with, or by a illness or accident with a loss of any ability like this. Tough, resilient, smart and beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️

[@alissalalala]

I honestly like the fact that April has no empathy for anyone, because it's realistic. I had a dance teacher in school that really didn't like me for some reason, and she always ignored how hard I tried and shoved me in the back for no one to see. I like this movie because I find it really funny, but the whole section with those little girls twerking reminded me so much of that one Dance Mom's dance, which was lowkey *really* gross and didn't need to be included in the movie, like you said, it had no actual plot and it was for humor, but it doesn't make it any less weird. I really like this movie though because I like how we get to see the girls actually improve, but my main issue with it are the scene cuts. I re-watched it not too long ago and I noticed how weird the cuts are. One minute they're at some minor competition and the next they're at this big-league dance competition? It makes no sense, but I get why a lot of people didn't like this movie. But I like the whole story because April (kind of) improves her behavior and begins to be a role model for the kids. I'm biased though, because I love the whole scene where Dicky does the dance with them even though he wasn't a part of the team, and how he was the one being lifted in that one scene and his dad was really proud. I also like how that little girl who worked at the dance studio got to resolve things with her mum, I liked the whole "plot twist" that her mum didn't know about it because I didn't expect that when I first watched, but it made sense that she used to forge the letters so she could go to the competitions because I knew girls who had to do that because their parents didn't know what it was. I do agree though about the whole dad's 'being painted in a better lighting' because one of the directors DEFO had daddy issues whilst writing it, or they're just misogynistic.

[@ckilbarger01]

[@manda_flower]

I worked with a traveling dance competition company and the scene where all the girls are inappropriately dancing is sadly accurate. It didn't happen much but it happened more than it should cause it shouldn't happen at all. It also didn't help because to make it worse there had to be a secret security team monitoring to make sure that the parents and family are the only ones there because we had pedophiles come through and try and gain access.

Isn't that what a lot of movies do nowsadays? I understand the unlikable/unrelatable/terrible MC but usually halfway or towards the end, we used to have those MCs be redeemed or learnt their lessons.

I discovered Jaime not too long ago and I’m in awe of her multiple talents. Girl is an amazing singer, writer, director and presenter, she’s likeable, has a ton of references, amazing sense of humour… just on the whole so creative and artistic. What an inspo, honestly!

[@jenhaze5002]

So true. I’m surprised it’s not brought up more how super talented she is. I live for these videos

[@astridjl85]

Welcome to an okay time. But actually an amazing time every time

[@denialwrong]

Don't forget her brilliant Jennifer Coolidge impression

[@Griselda_Puppy]

Right?!?! I'm totally crushing, too 😍

[@OwlBard]

As a former dancer, I can definitely tell you that the dads were definitely not the ones around much unless they had to pick up the mom and daughter or something. Sometimes it was a surprise that the dads even existed.

[@kadygirlforever]

Jaime, you are so talented in making us laugh our butts off and then bursting out the angelic vocals to pierce into our souls. Too. Much. Greatness. 💘

[@nikki0817]

The fake boob thing reminded me of my first date when I wore a water bra, do y’all remember those things?, the guy I went to the movies with was trying to feel me up but he was just squeezing the water bra😂. I was so embarrassed cause I thought he knew🤦‍♀️ Why were water bras ever a thing and why did my mom buy me one?!

[@penguinsrbirds2]

What...what on earth is a water bra? Like a water bed for your titties? Also I have to know in which era was the water bra a thing, lol?

[@sarahgrundy2282]

WHAT?

[@user-ip4er4xf8q]

Omgggg water bras!! I had forgot about those! 😭😭🤣

[@astridjl85]

Looool. Same thing happened to me but with a 'foam' push up bra. But I was like - I can't actually feel that, you want we to take if off? Mind you we were NOT at the movies

[@nennie2243]

I had a water bra in Jr high. I remember it was really heavy and I was always afraid it was going pop LoL 😂

[@terrymorris740]

I love how you make such bad movies so damn good. Your editing is literally gold 🏅

[@halcynical]

you're so talented i love how you edit yourself into the movie footage lol

[@MommaSullens]

How does Jamie know when KZbin will insert their ads?! The break into heads up.. oh mylanta, I frickin’ LOVE that!!! AND intimately hate watching a video on YT less and KZbin less in general!! Thank you for that Ms. Jamie!

[@Elmnt5]

I am at my daughters gymnastics and cracking up! I think parents think I am laughing at the little gymnasts! Lol Great review!! 😂

[@kaylarealtalk_safespace5127]

I'm 2/3 through the video and I've just been waiting for the main character to show up for a scene with her hair tucked into the neck of her shirt

[@Britishvisitor]

SAME 😂

[@jaybee9552]

She should have tucked the end of her high ponytail into her collar for a twist on her classic look 😅

[@laylamastella9764]

I logged on bc I am currently watching Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and I wanted to recommend it for your next video! It’s got it all! Young Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox, lots of clothes trying on montages and material for the female protagonist fall compilation! I always get so excited to see a new video of yours and would love to see you do that movie!

[@ellecimz6618]

Haha I'm so glad you were so passionate about this character you made a song. I can't believe you or I made it through this whole movie. It was like watching a train wreck or something, like it was so horrible and she did not redeem herself even once, I just couldn't look away. I watched mouth mostly agape wondering how she could literally just be the worst and never see the error in her ways lol

[@brendagotababy8284]

My husband & I both agree that we would love to see you and Nick DiRamio collab! He said it would be so much fabulousness in one room, the world would break! 😄

[@maj7045]

Umm yup. Yes. Just yeah. Absolutely.

[@michaelwantsanothersliceof3698]

YES

[@erinaa9486]

!!!

[@kayko6229]

I just watched this movie with my daughter for the first time last week. Apparently she watched it before. She loves Descendants and is a Sophia Carson fan. I cannot tell you how painfully bad this movie was to watch. Swore I’d never see it again but tolerated snips because you make everything awful feel better ❤

[@claniquepouncil3769]

Omg yes! My daughter made me watch it for girls night last year and it was horrible. 😭🤣🤣

[@mamacito1795]

It's hard to find family friendly movies for our weekly movie nights and we are DEEP in the Disney archives. We watched this and to be honest it's not even the worst thing we have seen 🤣😂

[@mariezrozier8628]

My daughters love this movie 😆

[@SaraSmilesandCreates]

That’s who that is!!!

[@River2384]

Wait she's in Decendants?! I've never seen all of it just bits and pieces but now I don't know if I want to. Everything I've seen her in I hate as she's always a super unlikable character that I'm supposed to root for. Edit: I remember her in it now as Evie and yup hated her in that too.

[@scc52002]

Hey Jaime! First, your reviews are pure gold! It has gotten to the point instead of watching a movie or a show during dinner, we watch your videos. So thank you for entertaining us at dinner most evenings! I wanted to suggest the movie Camp (2003). I had seen the movie when I was younger and I stumbled across it yesterday on Pluto TV and I literally couldn’t stop laughing. Between the countless awkward pauses to absolutely awful characters I just couldn’t wait to suggest this to you! Thank you so much again for all the amazing videos. We absolutely love all your content and can’t wait to see your next one!❤

[@megandmikey]

I NEED to see you do Center Stage. I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now. I look forward to new videos from you and have been waiting patiently for Center Stage!

[@taylorg7079]

She's not only eating a block of cheese. She's eating Kroger brand cheese!

[@cherryg2537]

I noticed that too.🤣

[@maddygs698]

Insane. If it was Tillamook or a local brand it would be a little more acceptable

[@alyzu4755]

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!

[@freudianslipp]

amazing that the writers couldn't decide between the token sassy friend, token black friend, or token gay friend so they just put all three in the same character.

[@chasityhonaker4569]

Jamie your video quality just keeps getting better and better. I have loved you from the beginning but I’m in amazement at your growth.

[@MissJackiesTheatre]

This was awesome and informative, and you portrayed this family with compassion ❤

[@ayannadivineempathpsychict9838]

THIS CHICK COULDNT EVEN SAY GOODBYE TO HER DAD IM ABSOLUTELY DEAD😂

[@Kate09090]

Hey Jaime, I’ve felt like utter crap lately, and your videos have been such a ray of sunshine for me. They’ve kept me laughing when I only felt I could cry. Thank you so much for the work you do. ❤️

[@Neddoest]

I came here to say something similar but instead I’ll just reply to your comment and say I hope you feel better soon. It’s _so important_ to find things to laugh about.

[@hejmonika1001]

Sending love ❤❤

[@AleisterCrowleyMagus]

I think a lot of us here can sympathize with you as well as say we are feeling the same emotions - please take care. This place is always filled with good will, and it makes me so happy

[@jaimefrenchofficial]

I hope you feel better Kate thank you so much for your support. Also It’s ok to cry and laugh at the same time, I do it all the time. 😅🤣😭🤗

[@rachelnesbitt8126]

Love to you Kate, hope you feel better soon xxx

I like the way you advertise your sponsors in an appealing way you make wanna buy whatever you talk about since I always skip ads you’re amazing Jamie!!!!!

[@kynsemallie]

Marrisa was also the chick who tried crawling through a kitty door in Scary movie. "Please don't kill me. I'm just a day player"

[@scosentino7]

Sophia should have tucked her hair into her shirt...would have really added to April's character. 😂

[@er_cl]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mallerysgallery]

Thankyou for another video Jeemieee 😋❤️ you're doing a great job. Your work is very appreciated. 😊

[@Sleipnirseight]

The overall premise of this reminds me of a weird Christian movie I was an extra in. I WISH I could remember the name or more detail about it, or if it even was released. The main character was some big shot music star who came back home to be humbled.... I wanna say there was a violin/fiddle involved somehow, but my memory is real fuzzy. Would have been around 2010, filmed in VA 🤔

[@susiemc8341]

Ma’am please put on your detective hate because we’d like to see this 😂

[@NellFace]

I tried to look it up because that sounds so familiar but 😮 there are like 1000 movies that fit that description. Even if you only consider the ones that feature real musicians.... there's too many. Why. Why are there so many!???

[@lilmamiswatchme9568]

Omg your voice is so dang good, your impressions spot on, you are the funniest KZbinr, you’re beautiful, the editing is hilarious, slay queen!👏🏽💗

[@Thekenyatta]

Ok before I fully watch this, I actually was out of work due to the virus and I was a singer who’s career was on halt and in another city and I knew I would have to go back to my small hometown in Alabama…so yeah I cried at the end and it kept me laughing, and believing in a brighter day. Now I’m ready to listen to your review 😂😂😂

[@chelsiebaldwin2026]

I've been binge watching your vids & been constantly laughing, thank you lmao. Also you have a beautiful singing voice

[@shannonsmith3842]

Your video really cracked me up. Your videos always make me laugh, but this one really made me laugh harder than usual. I love your sense of humor, Jaime. Thanks for always making such great content. 👍

[@Sylvieminja]

Woah ok. When I was a kid a chunk of the ceiling of my dance studio actually did collapse. A girl got hit on the head and we had to switch buildings. This feels like the most insane deja vu.

[@heatherrose4749]

The sound effects in your videos during dance or montage scenes, where I'm assuming you can't play music from the movie, always crack me up! The classics like farts and cracking bones, but also the random voice over funny breaths or comments of the characters. 🤣 Kudos to you and your team. *insert cheesy movie slow clap here*

[@ericab2343]

YAY! New video from you!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Xyz123Etc..]

This video is hilarious! You’re just so incredibly talented!

[@isaacmuth7097]

Deco is like the ultimate token accessory gay best friend. We need more movie reviews with just type of character.

He's a two in one since he's also the token black best friend.

[@amberg4775]

I know you see these kinds of comments all the time, but I’ve had a really hard couple of years and your videos bring me so much joy. I even rewatch old videos of yours on the hard days, they really help get me through. I also reallllly like your Jaime in the Wild channel and am hoping you upload there again soon. Thank you so much for all you do for us Jaime, you have no idea what it means!

[@javieraalfaro1091]

Ok Jaime this was such a funny review of this movie but for real for real, all jokes aside @ 25:22 - 26:47 that was a really good song!!!! Like I'm being serious!!! I ❤️'d it!!! You have such a beautiful voice!!!! ((I also ❤️ how we have the same name, just mine is spelt Jamie🥰)) ✌🏻♥️

[@HannahGlassy]

Literally my experience in dance class was that of Ruby. I quit dance when I was a kid cause the kids I was with AND THE TEACHER laughed at me all the time. Sucks. Very accurate movie in that respect.

[@kristenlandon796]

And she didn’t even apologize!!!

[@myas.6485]

I've been Ruby so many times and it has not been fun 💀People like Sofia's character are the WORST irl

[@SkylerAdriel]

I would KILL to see you review Center Stage. It's one of my guilty pleasure films, I don't think the plot is super terrible, but ugh it would just be fun.

[@oozingplazma]

Cen-soared... bahaha! That song was so fire though... your acoustic jams are so gorgeous! Your voice is stunning too, as usual! Beauty, brains, talented, and hilarious.. quadruple threat bay-beeee! xD

[@marisoljensen7083]

I truly love you Jaime! I think this is my favorite of your Movie reviews! You are so funny and honest!!! And talented. I loved the song. I love you! I loved how you added some makeup in there. Dont think I didnt notice... the comedy!

[@anunaskedforopinion]

Ah Jaime says "A grown woman bullied her out of class," like thats an unusual thing. 🙃 Also, I will kind of defend the way they wrote the parents. Dance moms are REAL. A lot of moms involved in their daughters dance classes are really not nice. But dads being involved is kinda rare, so if they were involved it would be, I would think, because they are being genuinely supportive.

[@bebebongBaebae]

I agree but it's kinda off that all the mothers are portrayed as bad parents while the dads are praised for doing their jobs. It's weird to reward men for doing their literal job.

[@allisongarcia2159]

I was bullied out of dance by an adult as a kid. I’m confident it happens often. So sad.

[@Arionthelady]

@@bebebongBaebae True but unfortunately it's usually the opposite where the dads are the bad parents/unsupportive in movies, so I see the subversion they were going for. Yeah it's the bare minimum they are being reward for but it's still nice to see more dads being supportive on screen.

[@realestsienna]

@@bebebongBaebae y’all complain over anything omg😭😭

[@mm-b8012]

My mom usually wasn’t able to help with dance stuff, so my dad became a dance dad for me. It brought us a lot closer in my teen years and I’m so grateful he was there for me :)

[@noemiilles5590]

i will never understand why movies hire actors that cant dance for dancer roles

[@lady_kikilee]

OMG NOT TOUCAN STUBBS!!!! I have never seen anyone reference that but my hubby and I quote those old BLR videos ALL the time. Thank you for being such a gem.

[@amybarksdale3598]

Jamie French, your content puts me in the best mood! Been a subscriber for a while! Thank you!

[@ivoryiris97]

Is no one talking about "April is Da Worst" ?!?! Jaime, you are so unbelievably talented.

[@LadyVonHautkopf]

Every time you talk about an awful dance movie, I remember Teenage Dream. It's about a girl in highschool who is a dancer or a gymnast or something like that, but she had an accident so she cant compete anymore. I have no memories of the plot, but I do remember that: - At nights she goes to a empty factory to dance with her friend the security guy - Keanu Reeves plays the highschool freak who is into her and eventually becomes her boyfriend and there's a lot of super weird moments. - Every now and then the whole movie is interrupted by a 80's videoclip style montage of the girl dancing (the movie is from 1986) I hope someday you watch it and review it, I think you'll love that trip 😂

[@jaybee9552]

This honestly sounds amazing

[@LadyVonHautkopf]
