Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The reasons why I don't like this movie are: 1) The plot made no sense. Roscoe makes a beautiful holographic rock star, falls in love with someone who isn't real, then ends up going with his best friend?! I am sorry, but haven't we heard that somewhere before? 2) This is minor, but the name "Sam" is really starting to get on my nerves. It says on here that her name is Samantha, but they call her Sam. Disney needs to take that name and SHOVE it right out the window. They use it WAY too much as a girl name. Pick better names.3) The acting. The acting was okay but it wasn't the greatest. Ricky Ullman is one of the worst I have ever seen(actually I have seen a lot worse) but he is up there.4) The kissing. Yes there was 2 parts where Sam and Roscoe kiss. Can you say wimpy? They were not cute, nor sweet. They were 1 second each and totally lame. They were like 2 8 year olds kissing.Overall this film wasn't very good.
When I saw the commercial for Pixel Perfect, I just thought, "Ok...why not watch it?" Good thing I did, because I found it to be a great movie! The songs were really good (and that includes the instrument music, too) and I did not get annoyed with the music videos, unlike some songs where you'd feel "oh god not again" when seeing the videos. Notice Me and Nothing's Wrong with me were really good. :D She's not a really main part and all but my favorite character was Cindy, played by Tania Gunadi. Not a very important role, but well played.The dances were not extremely good. And like another user mentioned, Loretta's flips were obviously fake.Many Disney movies are like you totally know what's gonna happen, but here, even though it WAS predictable, it was not entirely as I guessed.Overall, it was a great movie and the actors/actresses in the movie were really good. Cool, you should watch it!
I have a small question for all of you. In the scene in the rain outside the hospital, was Roscoe actually crying? Or were those raindrops on his cheeks? I've always been kind of curious to see if anybody knew, since I've only seen the movie once. I'd like to write a letter to Ricky Ullman and tell him how much I liked the movie, but I'd really like to know before I send it if he was really crying so I don't sound crazy. I really liked that scene, and though I don't really know why, it kind of (cheesily said) moved me. It was really sweet that Roscoe stood by Sam even though she hadn't been very nice to him. Isn't that what every girl wants? A loyal guy friend who really cares about you? Please answer!
This pathetic excuse for a movie doesn't have a decent structure or a sensible closure. The characters were confusing and the entire plot kept getting off track. I'd have to say that Pixel Perfect was a disgrace. This is what happens when you let Disney channel make movies.
