Avalon High, Un Amour Légendaire

I stumbled on this one after reading Britt Robertson's biography. Britt plays the lead role of Allie Pennington.

Being a television movie and a Disney Channel one at that, I didn't expect much, but what a surprise.

Very well acted, funny, lots of action especially near the end, a bit of romance and general all round good fun. I really liked Allie Pennington's parents played by Don Lake and Ingrid Park, they did a very good job and made me smile each time they were on screen.

A great movie that all ages could watch, no over the top violence to speak of and the sword fighting is quite well done.

I haven't read the book that this is based on so can't say whether it is true to the book or not, but based on some of the reviews by reviewers who have it doesn't do the book justice. I can not comment on that, I liked the movie for itself. It stands on its own. Well done Disney Channel.

Highly recommended and I would very likely watch this again, it is a feel good movie.
