    Ashley Tisdale stars as Mandy, a girl who is fighting to date one of the popular boys in her socially divided school. The problem is she lives in the wrong neighborhood, she's not in the mean girls club, wears glasses, and has a really lame cell phone that doesn't shoot video. Al...( read more)l her prayers are answered on her eighteenth birthday when her dad gets her contacts, a very cool video cell phone, and the boy she has a crush on invites her to a legendary party. Unfortunately, her not-so-trusting dad (Kevin Pollak) grounds her, and she has to figure out a way to get to her big date. Mandy now has to lie to dad who is calling every 30 minutes on a video phone and demanding to see where she is. Plus the boy's current girlfriend is none too happy Mandy wants to date her guy, and she'll do anything to stop her, including using the vial of Marilyn Manson's blood she wears around her neck to cast spells. Our scrappy heroine must fight overprotective parents, food allergies, snooty girls, a riotous battle of the bands at a heavy metal club, and somebody wearing the same outfit. No fair guessing if she ends up with the boy or not.
    Ashley Tisdale is fun and funny in the lead role, and she's surrounded by veterans of teen television who all know how to pull this sort of picture off. Central to the story are the video cell phones, and the idea is that having a fly wireless will make you cool. The project was made for television, but it looks fine and has high enough production values to feel cinematic.

    So ridiculous. The battle of the bands scene was so unrealistic.

    Average teen movie. There was nothing special to it apart from the awesome phone. HaaHaa!

    Ashley Tisdale plays Mandy, a teenager who is grounded on the day her crush asks her to go to a party. She tries her best to defeat the popular enemies who try to bring her down.

    So it...( read more) was kinda boring, lacked character and her Dad pissed me off. I only liked the scene when they were in the furniture store. That was kinda funny!

    Don't watch it unless you're that bored you have nothing to so. Typical chick flick.

    I loved this movie! It was so cool. I noticed that they had the Degrassi characters. Then they had Robbie Amell from Life Of Derek on Disney Channel. It's a great movie about a girl becoming a popular right before school ends. She's invited to a party and is not allowed to go... goes through obsticals (Popular ex) to get to it. :]]
