Sunday School Musical
Yes, yes, it is what it sounds like...
Sunday School Musical
*CAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*
I express similar sentiments to those posted by the user above me. I have limited access to new movies, but the teens in my youth group haven't mentioned this at all (for some reason, that doesn't surprise me).
Have you seen it yourself?

NOOOO!!!! As an enthusiastic High School Musical fan, I don't appreciate people trying to copy it. Last time they tryed to copy it, we got Camp Rock, and that was a disaster..... not to mention the Cheetah Girls movies. Ugh. Although some of those songs in the Cheetah Girls movies were good.
Peri: Do you mean the TARDIS is malfunctioning again?
The Doctor: Malfunctioning? [pause] Malfunctioning? MALFUNCTIONING!?
So... after striking out more than six times, I finally got my hands on a copy of this.
It had potential... a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it fell flat on its face due to a horribly written script, and incompetent directing (same person co-wrote and directed). Cinematography was about what you would expect from something of this budget class. The cast was very likeable. Most had the potential to turn in solid performances, but again, the director wasn't skilled enough to bring out those performances. I'm talking bad student film level in most cases. Continuity was a nightmare, editing weak, sound design awful.
On the other hand, most of the songs were very well done, even if they used mostly the same style and instrumentation. Other than the performance pieces, the score was unfortunately very weak. At one point they blatantly ripped off the beat of "RÉSISTANT" by Iron Sy and D. Roques.
If this thing had a decent budget (they didn't even have extras in big scenes at a school, in the middle of the day), and a different writer/director, I would have enjoyed it. My recommendation is to look into the soundtrack, and avoid the movie itself.

Wow, talk about dedication! Me = my hero. Thanks for tracking down this movie and reviewing it for us. I saw it at Wal-Mart a while ago, but I really doubted that it was worth $20 or whatever it cost, and it sounds like I was right. I still wouldn't mind renting it at some point, since it doesn't sound totally awful, and since I don't have a filmaker's mind like Me, I'm sure that I wouldn't be quite as bothered by the bad filmmaking. It's too bad that it didn't live up to the potential that Me saw in it. Oh well....life goes on.
Limited, not none. Obviously some people are watching it, but it doesn't have much mass appeal, for some reason.JesusFreak42 wrote:*snicker* What makes you think it has no audience appeal?Catspaw wrote:This was a straight-to-DVD release, and based on Me's review, I'm guessing it will never be seen in theatres, and because of the limited audience appeal, it probably won't be aired in TV much either.

I watched the trailer for this video, and I have a few thoughts. The filming looks good, not cheap like a lot of past christian movies sadly. The story looks original enough and okay. The main downfall of this movie is the title. If they gave it an original title, maybe it would have a better chance. The other thing about this movie is it's made by this company that gets it kicks by making parodies of big movies. Go to their site see what I mean and watch some of their weird teasers (Warning: don't watch ALL of their movies trailers, some have nudity.) http://www.theasylum.cc/production.php Click the drop down tab of their Recent Releases and browse the madness.
