Movie Review: Hilary's Best Performece in Raise Your Voice
Summary: 5 Stars
I personally think this movie deserves more than 5 stars. This movie makes me very emotional. I've watched this movie at least 5 times since it was released. This movie is about wanting to live your dreams, and to make it into the music industry. In this movie you will see that singing makes Terri ( Hilary Duff ) really happy. Terri is 16, and has been through a lot recently, and all she wants to do is go to this music school for the summer, but her dad doesn't want her to. All you want in life is for your parents to be supportive of your good decisions you make in life. Hilary did her best in this movie, hands down this is her best performance in a movie to date. This is one of my favorite movies. This is a must own movie for Hilary Duff fans, and for music lovers. Terri, and her brother Paul are really close in this movie, until something tragic happens. I personally think Hilary Duff is a great singer, and I wish she would make another album. At least see this movie, it will change your views on Hilary Duff. Hilary Duff is one of the nicest people in this industry. I hope to see more of her in the future. This movie has it's ups, and downs, just like everyday life. This movie has made me cry. The actors in this movie are great. I think Hilary is a shinning star, she defiantly has the it factor, to be an actress. It's great having someone there for you during tough times, and Terri has Jay, and they become really close in this movie. Overall this is one of my favorite 10 movies, and I personally think this is a must see movie.Movie Review: A good movie for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe because I am not paid to be a movie critic I see things differently. I look for realism instead of dissecting plots and roles and, considering the short attention span of today's audiences, I think this film succeeds in presenting some very real-life elements.
First, I have seen far too many Simon Fletchers in my life - men and women. Probably the most difficult challenge for a parent is to help their children find themselves, because doing that means letting them try and sometimes fail. Simon's fear force Terri to the same real choice too may young people have today - follow their dream and live a lie or shelve themselves and conform to someone else's expectations. Kids need their parents to be their best friends and their cheering section as well as their guides, providers and protectors.
Second, in the real world each of us must learn what our responsibility is and what is not. Terri must accept that her brother's death was not her fault before she can develop her musical dream. Even older adults struggle with this. Sometimes experience and beliefs help us and sometimes we, like Terri need someone like Jay or Mr. Torvill to help. Kids need adults to listen and be there, even if we do not have all the answers.
This movie is not just for pre-teens, it has a good message for anyone who cares enough about young people to help them find their wings.
Movie Review: Sad, but very good.
Summary: 5 Stars
I luv this movie! Well, it is about Terri(hilary Duff) and her brother. In the beginning of the movie, She announces that she wants to go to music school. Her dad says flat out "No." and it starts an argument. Then Paul comes in and tries to persuade their dad to let her go. They argue so much that Paul gets grounded. (by the way, it's Paul's graduation) Terri had gotten Paul tickets to a concert for his graduation, and they are for that night. So even though he's grounded, Paul finally decides to go. They have a great time at the concert, but then they are in a wreck on the way back. Terri wakes up in the hospital, and findes her mom at her bedside, praying. Just one look at her Mother and She knows that Paul died. From then on, she has flashbacks on the wreck. Her aunt comes up with a plan to tell Terri's father that Terri is coming with her to Arizona (her aunt's house) when she's really going to music school. (Terri's mom is in on the plan, too.) "It's what Paul wanted" Her aunt kept saying. so finally, Terri decides to go. She has many flashbacks af the wreck throughout the movie. Then, in the last 30 minutes of the movie, her dad finds out that Terri didn't go with her aunt to arizona, and that she did go to music school
But you have to buy it to see what happens next! It's really good. and there are a few twists that I didn't mention, really sad parts, too. I LUV IT!
Movie Review: Raise Your Voice
Summary: 5 Stars
Raise Your Voice
Raise Your Voice is about Terri Fletcher, (Hilary Duff) a girl who can sing amazing, just like a big-time singer. With her dream to be a singer, Terri goes to a music school in L.A. She is believed by her father (David Keith), to be at her Aunt Nina's (Rebecca DeMornay). While at this school, she meets Jay (Oliver James) this really cute boy who helps her to sing in front of many people and not get the feeling of her brother, Paul (Jason Ritter) being gone.
This film's main setting is in L.A. at the music school. It also takes place at Terri's school, her Aunt Nina's, her house, and at a Three Days Grace concert. The film length is approximately 107 minutes. It is rated PG. Raise Your Voice is directed by Sean McNamara. The screenplay is written by Sam Schreiber.
I think that Duff was a wonderful actress and that this was one of her greatest films yet. Terri was excited, yet scared, but cheerful and happy, yet sad.
I would recommend this movie for anyone eight and older. Also, I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in making it big in music because most of the kids in the movie are interested in going far. I think that this movie was fun, with a touch of sadness and excitement.

Movie Review: This movie is great, but not for everyone.
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start with this: I adore this movie. I cry buckets every time I see it on ABCFamily. It is cliche, predictable, and the characters are relatively 2 dimensional, but I could watch this movie a million times and never get tired of it.
Terri is a very down-to-earth girl who has a passion for singing, but unfortunately she lacks formal training and it causes her some unnecessary strife. Her brother, Paul, is her biggest fan and submits a DVD of Terri singing/composing/being herself to a prestigious summer music program, etc. etc. You all get the picture here, it's predictable and cheesy, but heart warming all the same.
From a classically trained singer, I must say they could have done a little more research about classical singing (Caro Mio Ben is not generally considered an impossibly difficult song to master) and it's a shame Hilary Duff didn't get some training for the film. However, if you are not trained in music these discrepancies won't take away from the joy this movie brings.
All in all, I love this movie. It's a perfect Saturday morning cry-and-laugh fest for me, and everyone who has an appreciation for music or just happiness in general should check it out.
