At the movies I saw parents with their children ages 7 and up and you could hear laughing and alot of questions being asked by the children and parents explaining, it was so heartwarming and you could see the bonding, even the teenagers were laughin and getting excieted and mad all at the same time. This is a wonderful movie, it's a must see movie that will bring us all back to life's reality and not all the hyped and violence and fantasy in today's society, it's a true message of today's world. I went to see it on my own the first time, I laughed, cried and even felt the hurt that Will was going through that I brought my husband the second time and he also enjoyed the movie and he doesn't go to any movies, he even experienced the same feelings that I had as well as everyone in the movies, it was a beautiful noise.

But I was pleasantly surprised. This movie has depth and deals with real issues people encounter during their high school years. And I thought Vanessa Hudgens did a marvelous job with her character...I didn't see Gabriella in there at all. All in all, great movie! :) As you said, from the previews and marketing, I wasn’t expecting much when I went to see it. But I was pleasantly surprised.

Galean is the star of movie, and he is very good. Aly is the star of the movie for the female part. The movie is better than HSM, and it is not cheesy.

Shame on Summit for targeting the wrong audience. This is really a movie for older teens and even adults who love classic rock and indie music. Young kids just would not get this movie, and that's who it was marketed for. Just awful to see this gem of a movie not do well. It deserves to. Saw the movie….thought it was great!!

I felt like I was reliving great memories of high school and I'm 35! no stereotype characters, and Hudgens according to critics (and myself) did a dynamic job in her role. it proves that she has what it takes, and the problem with HSM was that they gave her nothing to work with for a character. Loved her in this, and it is definitely a must see! this movie was amazing.

Too bad, Bandslam could have been 'The Breakfast Club' of this generation. I cannot wait for the next movie of the Pevensies. :)
