Who here watched it premiere ten years ago?


I remember having seen the promos for it on Disney Channel (wasn't particularly determined on tuning in, to be honest), but I happened to come home just as it was about to air for the first time. Quite surprisingly enjoyed it, and watched the encore right after.

Good times...

i watched it then. Time flies!

Yep...and I'm watching it now. Can't understand all the bad reviews for it. I mean, I genuinely think it is a good movie. Especially for a Disney TV movie. Maybe that's just because I'm nostalgic for it, and it brings me back to my childhood. I don't know. But I feel like the acting is pretty decent and the music is great. Some parts are dumb though...

...anyways, wow. Can't believe it was 10 years ago! I'm 18 now and am amazed at how fast my last 10 years have flown by...

Nope I didn't see it when it premiered 10 years ago but the first time I would have watched it would have been on dvd rented and not viva the way of Netflix or Redox but an actual video store.

Yes! I was so excited when this came out.

I sure was! For the same reason I watched tonight (was gonna record) I had my plans cacneled! Ironic.

I did. I was the exact same age as the characters back then, so that was a lot of fun. The movie actually held up quite well over time, despite some of its cheesiness (which we can't deny, but still love anyway lol).

I did. The movie was fun and the songs were good enough to listen accompanied with the impressive choreography. A few years later, when its popularity took off, I thought it was one of the more overrated Disney Channel Original Movies.

I definitely did. It was a lot of fun. I still think it's probably the best DCOM they've ever made.

For me that title goes to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, but to each their own.

That's right. Plenty of good ones to choose from.

I did! I remember I was 10 years old when it came out and my best friend had a premiere party at his house. That's how big of a deal it was to us back then lol. I still love this movie despite the flaws.
