The only reason why I even wanted to see this movie is cause of Ashley Tisdale, being a big fan of her's, and frankly from the promos i had a feeling this movie would be good but i was wrong... the movie was outright boring, trying to bank on a rather cheesy plot, the movie tries to make a vague attempt at comedy frankly, i didn't find any of the scenes genuinely funny at all, it was more like a "been there done(seen/heard) that" kinda story. I certainly didn't like the way the movie started, felt it jump started instead of having a rather gradual beginning, maybe a little more scoop on Mandy's history or her life at school might have been better. The "Video Phone" was highlighted a bit too much honestly and one could even consider the movie being a commercial for the phone rather... my only favorite moment in the entire movie was when Ashley sang "Shadows of the Night", Ashley is well the only best thing bout the movie, she did a rather remarkable job looking like a nerd and pretty cute too... the supporting cast was good though a disappointing plot really overshadowed their performance, I'll admit though i like her better playing Sharpay or Maddie rather than Mandy, n even though she admitted being able to relate herself to the character very much she does better otherwise... Well this was her first movie as a leading lady n she definitely has a long long way to go... ill keep my eyes open for the day she really "Bops to the Top"..
