Thank you for the reaction! If you liked the songs in Camp Rock, you should react to the second movie. They're even better!!

[@ira_1991]

I think you didnt get the point of the lemonade symbol. The Turbo drink is a symbol for the upper class, popular sports and students of the school. It represents everywhere visible and high class. While the lemonade machine the only remaining is stuck in the basement idle like the remaining of the other school activities. It's like a representation of the rest of the school. But yes these whole break out song type of scenes are cringe af. I love the songs but this is the cringe-iest dcom movie disney done. I think Camp Rock was way better. They had the worst finale too. Like you guys said they didnt stick to the original line up and now they 'sold out' the female members are now all 'singers' well at least for the performance they filmed for. Fun fact they actually performed a couple of times as a actual band to promote the movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJfTlaRoq7B5fLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaPWpYWPbtt2lZo

I do like the movie, but the book had a much more interesting idea, where they all play odd instruments and have a group with uncommon instruments. In the book, Olivia she's the lead vocalist and plays the accordion, Wen plays the trumpet, Stella plays the ukelele, Mo plays the stand-up bass, and Charlie is the most instrumentally varied one, kind of, he plays the drums, congas, bongos, and timbales. The storylines and backgrounds are also somewhat darker, like Charlie struggles because he lived and his stillborn twin didn't, not because he lives in his brother's shadow

I definitely agree about these movies, not just DCOMs but all music movies, making "natural talent" the medium through which these people are so great can end up sending a weird message. As someone who's been singing since the age of eight, had violin lessons and has been learning how to play the guitar by myself, it takes a lot of practice and patience to even be slightly good.

Apparently the original book this is based on is way darker. Wendell is disturbed by the fact that he's aroused by his stepmother, which represents itself as pent up aggression. Charlie's brother was actually his twin who died in the womb with him. Mo is dealing with self-hatred issues stemming from how she's expected to behave due to her race. Olivia's father actually killed someone in a robbery gone wrong. And Stella is struggling with dyslexia and is constantly overlooked by her family because of it.

Yeah in elementary and some of middle school we had live TV announcements done by students and a teacher that helped them. Every day they had a 'weather' segment where they'd say if it was sunny, rainy, or overcast and they'd use student art to depict it and mention their names. One time my crayon drawing for 'rainy' got selected and I was so hype. Other than weather, lunch, and general stuff like birthdays and if we had a book fair, they sometimes took on editorial stories and looking back it was the most hialrious thing. I think one announcement kid did a news 'story' on their older brother who was the first in school to finish the last Harry Potter book. Good times.

14:40 You know, that's actually a nice message, how the only reason you need to play music is to like to do it. As some who grew up poor and couldn't afford music lessons, even less an instrument, it always felt like a distant dream to play the piano, but three months ago I saved enough for an used keyboard and, even if I know it will take a long time for me to be actually good at it, and I still can't afford lessons and learn by watching tutorials and stuff, that's fine, I'm doing it because it is nice and I want to do it, and even though I'm not actually interested in performing it really feels like I'm doing something for myself, and I can already play two or three full songs!:')

I also really love that you guys appreciated the attempt at more realism/diversity with their personal problems. This movie was really refreshing with that, and with Mono making her idiot ex earn a reconnection. Two things I think you missed tho: •They attacked the guys moving the lemonade machine bc they put hands on Stella which is not okay. I get that she was stopping them doing their job but it’s still illegal and more importantly immoral to just grab a kid and bodily lift her w/o permission. •Stella’s family was really chill but at least her parents weren’t particularly supportive until later. They didn’t realize she was vegetarian for 4 months until she was a dick about it at dinner. That scene was there to imply that they don’t pay much attention to what she’s doing bc it’s not as impressive as what the rest of them do, so she didn’t just develop that complex out of nowhere lol

This is my favorite Disney Channel movie to this day. A lot of music slaps! It’s so underrated.

Goddamn it Sam! - “There's only one way to get a soul when you're a ginger and that's to steal it from someone else.” I was just sitting here relaxing, eating my lunch, enjoying your vid, then I nearly choke on a grain of rice because I started laughing so hard at a joke that just came outta nowhere. 😄😆😣😲😥😌😂🤣

[@hqb5276]

It’s kind of funny that you guys say small town talent shows are pointless because they’ll get you nowhere and then immediately after you say “you don’t need a reason to play music other than you like it”. 😂

[@demonic_myst4503]

Their was a violin used in the book i think they had some classical instruments mixed in and were more interesting as a band but they stream lined it for the film

[@__ASHA__T]

My childhood 😌😌🤌🏽this hits almost as good as cheetah girls and hsm

[@filmlife1000]

Amazing how you guys are doing these reactions remotely - the editing process must have been tough! Awesome reaction to one of my favourite childhood films

[@valentinafangirling]

Okay so this has never happened to me but as far as I know, at least in America, kids DO taken to “jail” (a cell) and wait until a legal guardian picks them up OR social services steps in. They wouldn’t get driven to their houses.

[@kmich6075]

I’ve been waiting for this I love this movie with my heart

[@kmich6075]

*all my heart

[@DaalMakhani]

I'm still baffled by how no one has done a St. Trinians's Commentary/reaction. That movie from 2007 is a bloody masterpiece

[@djpgurl13]

Great commentary! Definitely one of the better DCOMs of that era.....And now, you need to watch the classic The Cheetah Girls 😂

Mo gets up on a table: Movie Buds: *And I took that personally*

[@relaxationstation7634]

Her shirt says Question? Authority. So… it reads like “hey I have a question? AUTHORITY.” It makes zero sense and I appreciate that. Or. The answer is authority. So it’s a pro authority shirt.

[@rachjade8785]

My younger brothers were obsessed with this film when it came out, I still get the songs stuck in my head sometimes. Also the principal played Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore.

[@booklover4330]

This was such a fun movie. Can you two please react to: Color of Friendship Coraline Spirit Stallion

[@sunflower4291]

This movie wasn’t part of the Disney movies from my childhood but My Wife and Kids was. Loved that show! Man this movie was a train wreck 😂

[@syra1541]

[@zhulimoon46]

As someone whos like read the book Lemonade Mouth 4 times, the movie is based on a few things get lost in translation that might be a little out of place if not reading the source material. For example, the narrator in the book wasn't only Olivia, It was a character cut from the movie who was i believe Mo's friend who ran the school newspaper. Lots of individual 'interviews' were peppered throughout the book to lead into parts that showed different character povs. That's part of why the description at the beginning sounds so weird bc no one would ever describe themselves that way, and they didn't! Another aspect that got lost (that i see many other people commenting) is that all of the characters started out playing instruments that were not traditionally 'rock band' or even like pop band instruments and their sound is described as very unique. There were also more songs mentioned that got cut from the movie, one even being about Olvia's cat Nancy, which makes her passing much more impactful in the book. I believe their original instruments were Olivia: vocals and accordion, Mo: stand-up bass (in orchestra AND in the band), Wen trumpet, Stella Ukulele, and Charlie played traditional drum set with a bunch of other unique drums added to his set up. There were also many plot points that got cut or edited to be more family friendly, like the details of why Olivia's father is in prison and Nancy's death, Wen's crush on his dad's girlfriend turned stepmom, Charlie's stillborn twin brother, Mo having a pre-arranged marriage while dating and Stella struggling with having Dyslexia. the way they help each other through their struggles and how they work through them really makes the book feel unique. There was even more about the struggle with school authority as the band became more popular with the students leading to an almost underground resistance to the school government as they tried to strike the band and supporters down.

[@florenciohernandezjr.2556]

I was the complete opposite.. I can’t remember one camp rock song but I still remember that determinate song lol.

[@islasullivan3463]

I really like this movie even though some parts were cringy, it was definitely better in the book.

[@DerekThomasLirio]

The sponsorship was for the school, not the band. The gym was built by the Turbo Blast people. The band is being sponsored by Mel's Lemonade.

[@BeeKee404]

I think I liked the story focusing on the kids and their families more than when they were focusing on the band. I was definitely a lot more invested in that part of the movie especially the guy with the step-mother and Olivia's family storyline.

[@toxicginger9936]

I missed the whole Disney Channel original movie era... I grew up with MMC... so this is all new to me. Happy to be along for the ride.

[@themoviebud1988]

Same here tbh, except that was because I was older than the target demographic and nineteen year old me was a bit of a snob 😅 - Stef

[@sunflower4291]

Everyone goes to prison, it’s a family thing….too soon 😂

[@kiannagriffin6631]

Yes my bullying experience was also very similar i.e. essentially getting blamed for getting bullied. I remember a girl picking on me in class when I was in middle school while the teacher wasn't around(we had a volunteer watching us). I started getting really upset so my friend took me to the bathroom so I could calm down in private. When we came back the teacher tried to make it seem like we were ditching and implied that we could be suspended(thankfully that didn't happen).

[@not-a-gerbil9557]

Hard disagree on the disliking the songs haha Because of this video reminding me of this movie I was jamming out to Somebody while at work today haha I've got a soft spot for these tween pop kinda jams. They're catchy and fun to me

[@caitlinstaddon7328]

I know your literally called “the movie budz” but would you ever be open to doing a series reaction? There’s a series called Julie And The Phantoms and I would love to see your outtake of it as musicians! Lots of love💜💜💜

[@Glaceonmon]

I love how y'all reference Pitch Perfect in everything 🤩🤩 shows that it really stayed with both of you
