Plot: Five high school freshmen become friends when they each get detention on the same day. The school has moved any extracurricular activity that isn’t sports to the basement. Detention is supervised by the music teacher, who decides instead of the teens just sitting through detention, they will help her clean up the music room. While the teens are cleaning the room, they start playing the different instruments and eventually break out into song. Stella realizes how great the group sounds together, and suggests they start a band. After some persuading, they create Lemonade Mouth and become a huge success of their fellow students. The group starts to get shaky right before a big music competition. Will they be able to make it through the competition?
Review: This movie is a great change from the other musicals that Disney Channel has come out with. After the cheesiness of High School Musical, I was a bit wary of watching this movie. However, my nine year old daughter spoke very highly of the movie and I thought I should give it a chance. While some of the random break into song got to me, I actually found myself liking the music and the story line. It’s a great story of teens from different tracks of life coming together and overcoming their fears. A huge plus of this movie is the music. It’s hip and catchy. Tweens will be singing these songs long after the movie ends.
