Status Update

It's the first time I review movie here and that's because I believe it's underestimated. Very cool movie.

STATUS UPDATE is a mediocre that runs a little bit longer then I would have liked but I managed to stick it out to the end. It is not the kind of movie that I would ever like to watch again nor is it the one I would recommend to my friends but I will add that it is not terrible. It was mildly entertaining at times. Certainly enough so that I watched the whole thing and was not too bored although I did not give it much of a though afterward and it is doubtful I will even remember it a year from now.

Don't kid yourself, this is a Disney movie without the mouse influence. Yes it's a bit formulaic and predictable. But it's well done. A nice family movie with a few swear words.

Not sure why so much hate. This was yes cheesy and predictable but it was funny and sweet. I'm from the era of footloose, ghost, dirty dancing when cheese was in. It was a nice Change from gore and super heroes and fast cars...

Looking at this film from the perspective of its target audience, which is basically teens/young adults, It quite a solid film. A story about being true to yourself, but its told in a unique way. Actors did fine, plot was well written if maybe slightly over the top at times. Its hard to write a film about wishes coming true because the wording of any wish can always be open to interpretation, but I think Status Update captures the magic of it quite well. The pace is good, Cinematics fine for a lower budget film. I wouldn't call it an overly funny film, although it does have its moments.

If you or your children like Glee, then you will probably like this. Its worth a watch if you like the Teenage Fantasy genre and a bit of fun; But not one for serious critics, hence some of the previous reviews.
