Technology is the way of the future and every high school student needs a video phone, at least according to Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) and her friends Alexa (Lauren Collins) and Cayenne (Shenae Grimes). When Mandy's overprotective Dad (Kevin Pollak) finally gives her a video phone and a pair of contacts for her 18th birthday, Mandy feels like her image, and her entire world, is about to change for the better--especially when her long-lived crush Drew Patterson (Robbie Amell) actually notices her. What Mandy doesn't count on is that her father will use her new phone to track her every move and that Drew's attention will inspire Lisa (Cindy Busby), the hottest, most popular girl in school, to begin plotting against Mandy with a vengeance. A full 90 minutes of serious attitude, technological obsession, deception, and just plain meanness, this film appeals primarily to the preteen and teen audience and manages to convey the message that goodness and trust will prevail despite enormous odds. Parents will most likely find the film distasteful, though they could potentially learn something about letting go, and it should be noted that there are a fair number of sexual references like "hump and dump," virgins being "deflowered," and "do her and dump her." Look for Ashley Tisdale's "Shadow of the Night" performance as well as 2 bonus making of segments, cell phone confessions, text commentary, and a trivia quiz. (Ages 11 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 great movie!!!! December 27, 2008
this is a really good movie. i would say like other people that this is a typical teenage disney movie except that this is pg-13 but in a way it isn't. this talks about an unpopular girl that wants to be popular but she doesn't try to fit in(which in a lot of disney movies they do that. they try to fit in and everything)but mandy stays real and she's herself throughout the whole movie. it's also different because at the end her father kind of found out but he didn't do anything about it because he thought is was time for him to let go and mandy did the right thing by going back home. this is also like other a typical cinderella movie because this is about an unpopular girl that likes a cute guy. one of my favorite parts was when everyone pretended to be like a dvd. my point is that this is a really good movie, this is just like a typical teenage movie but it's a little different and it's very enjoyable for everyone 12 and up
The is nothing to not love about this movie (it was just AWESOME)! December 6, 2008

I rented this movie expecting just another average teenage comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the actors/actresses played in the movie and lived up to the plot. The movie is basically about a girl named Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) who is not very popular in school and who is trying to date Drew Patterson (Robbie Amell).
The plan is to attend a big party to which Drew invites her to, but unfortunately as luck would have it she is GROUNDED by her dad for breaking some rules. She later convinces him that she is only going to go to "study" with her 2 other friends, but he insists in a BIG BROTHER way that she must check in every 30 minutes via video cell phone on how everything is going. That is when the real fun starts and things start to get real crazy! Mandy must do crazy things every 30 mins to try and make her dad believe she is actually at her friends house studying. The scariest part of the movie was when she is driving and her dad asks her "is that a horn I hear" and insists on showing him what she is doing. She takes the keys out of the ignition on a busy road covers her eyes while her friends steer the car. I don't recommend this at home, and it almost getting all three of them killed by nearly hitting a truck head on.
There are a lot more crazy things Mandy does to try and fake where she is. You will have to watch the movie to see if her dad finds out what she and her friends did and bust her. I don't want to spoil the fun.
I definitely recommend this movie to everyone. It is a funny as heck down to earth romantic comedy!

I intentionally watched this movie to see how Ashley Tisdale would cope outside of High School Musical and I was pleasantly surprised. This movie was definitly a feel-good movie without any real substance, but for some reason I loved it!
Yes, it's a tipical teen romance movie that isn't all that funny but I thought it was clever and had a refreshing cast.
As much as people hate this movie I [being 16 and female] throughly enjoyed it.
I don't know if I'd buy it but I'd watch it again if it was aired on television over here.

Yet another teen comedy with the following content:
1.Over-protective parent
2.Unpopular girl with 2 friends
3.Popular girl with 2 friends (never one or three)
4.Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy
5.Party
6.Senior Prom
(You already know how it ends, don't you?)
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1.Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) has just turned eighteen
2.Her father (Kevin Pollack) is experiencing separation anxiety
3.He gets her a cool cell phone and contact lenses for her birthday, plus a plan for her future
4.Contact lenses immediately improve her looks (hair, make-up, posture, everything)
5.Video cell phone is actually for paranoid dad to track his little princess
6.Plan for the future could ruin hers
7.Out of the blue, Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy Drew (Robbie Amell) expresses an interest, much to the disgust of popular girl Lisa (Cindy Busby)
8.Typical shenanigans follow, except now it's high-tech thanks to the ever-present video cell phones
9.Suspend disbelief as Mandy overcomes all obstacles in order to disobey her father
10. Typical ending follows
Due to the content I would say that this is for ages 13 - 17, but to be honest it doesn't have that much to offer in terms of comedy, life lessons or entertainment. Wait for this on cable on a boring afternoon.

 Feel Good Movie! September 6, 2008
Once again bought this movie for my 11 year old daughter and I probably enjoyed it more then her! Robbie Amell is real "Eye Candy" and Ashley Tisdale was very cute and funny in this movie. I loved the ending but wish it went a for a bit longer...it ended way to fast for my liking...but sometimes you can't win them all. I would recommend it to all. Some things went over my daughters head but all in all it was worth a watch! Loved Ashley singing in it! Would recommend to all who are Ashley and Robbie fans! I now am!!
