If anyone saw the trailer for the movie Band Slam before now, I'm sure you thought to yourself "how and why do movies like this get made?" I will be honest, I thought the same thing. I wondered why someone like Lisa Kudrow would ever agree to a movie like this. I think the only reason I knew about the movie was because my company was promoting it like crazy on their jumbo trons outside our building. I also happened to hear about it on the radio the day the movie opened. Being a huge High School Musical fan, I decided to drag my friend to see the movie. Let me just say, I was thoroughly entertained the entire movie. I found myself bouncing in my seat as I received evil glares from my friend. Vanessa Hudgens is super cute in the movie.
I am about to give the ending away so don't read on if you want to be surprised. My friend and I agree that the best part of the movie was the fact that the main characters did not win the contest. This shows kids that winning isn't everything. They worked hard to achieve a goal and even though they didn't win, they became extremely popular among their peers. It has a good message, I think.
To further the awesomeness that is this movie, a middle aged man sat next to me and my friend and was completely alone the entire movie. No one came to meet him. I guess he shares in this guilty pleasure. Or he happens to be a pedophile, either one works for me.
