Critic Reviews

James Plath, Movie Metropolis
If the plot were more original I'd have given this a 7, because it should entertain the target audience of teens and 'tweens.
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...the movie will work best among die-hard fans of the TV show.
Emily Ashby, Common Sense Media
Feel-good family movie has great messages for tweens.

Like all "Disney Channel Original Movies," this is not very good.
Nicolas K

Quite entertaining at moments, with enough doses of magic and Disney sentimental twists to make it exciting for the children and tolerable for adults.
