If you haven't noticed from my other reviews, I'm a longtime Disney Channel fan. I grew up watching the network in elementary school, especially when they used to show _Growing Pains_ on there; later on, I was known for being a big fan of _Lizzie McGuire_ and _Raven_ throughout high school. So, you'd probably think I'd enjoy this...and, to a degree, I did.

I'm not a big fan of anything involving large bodies of water, so, anything with a word like "beach," "swim," or "pool" (unless it refers to billiards) in the title makes me hesitant to check it out. Still, I liked Ross Lynch in _Austin & Ally_, and Maia Mitchell seemed like an attractive and talented leading lady, so, I figured, why not? While it was mostly fun, especially the musical numbers, there was a bit too much exposed skin, which isn't what I'm used to from a DCOM, even one that takes place on a beach.

Will I check out the sequel? We'll see.

I didn't have the opportunity to see this movie when it came out, and in fact I didn't know about it until recently. After the recommendations I decided to see it, the songs and dances are good, but the story and characters is pretty dull.

It took me a little bit to get into it but as soon as they are transported in the beach movie "Wet Side Story", it became so silly I laughed throughout the movie.

High School Musical + Grease + a hint of Spy Kids. Nightmare fuel for some but just my cup of tea.

Old fashioned Disney fun, definitely one of the best ones in a while.

OK - so I never had any intention of ever watching this movie. But today, it came on and it was on more or less in the background and I found that I kept glancing over at the movie more and more. I found that it is actually quite a fun little movie. A very comfortable throwback to the old Disney Beach movies from the 60's. This is just a fun little nostalgia romp.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
