Movie Reviews of Spectacular!
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so hilariously bad you just have to see it. I cant believe people actually take it seriously and think its cool lulz. This is one of those rebellious-but-safe-at-the-same-time-psuedo-cool type of movies marketed to the new breed of teens and tweens who think they are cool and edgy but are really lame, ubercomercial and mainstream. You know the type. This is the type of movie that plays up the generational gap in order to sell products to kids.Pseudo-rebellious cliches like "breakin all the rules" abound. The type of rebelliousness that screams "i dress the way i want to express my individuality as long as im totally conforming to social standards in an acceptable way in order to seek approval from others and keep buying products from companies who lower my self esteem in order to hock an endless conveyor belt of products to me over the years just so i can fit in". The main characters trendy androgynous mullet is hilarious its almost like its own character. The musical numbers are absolutely hilarious you have to see them to believe them they are so bad. The reason i give this movie 5 stars is because it is executed perfectly. The campy cheesiness of this movie is heavenly and should be an endless source of amusement for those of us who find this sort of faux-rebellious cheese funny. Im guessing the lame kids its marketed to will absolutely love it since the people who made it probably spent gobs of money on marketing research. Kids can like it because the characters have the right "sex appeal" these companies are known for exploiting and the scenes depict attractive kids having fun and doing their own thing in a safe enough yet rebelliousness enough way for parents to not consider it harmful but at the same time seem rebelliousness enough for kids to like. The songs mix all the popular commercial styles from "rock" to "hiphop" but of course not in an authentic way that actual real fans of those styles would appreciate. I thought when south park made fun of these teen musicals it was only making fun of high school musical until i saw this and realized one of the songs they did is from this.Its the song at the end of the episode that goes "you can do what you want to do...as long as its what everybody else wants you to" which pretty much seems up this movie/genre precisely. "i dress the way i want as long as im thin, attractive, fun, smile a lot, have enough money, have an outgoing personality, and everything else that most people arent which sets them on an endless quest to get... yet failure is inevitable which leaves most in a state of status anxiety etc which brings us to the conflicts of interest between marketing companies and people trying to sell us crap we dont need and actual satisfaction...which is where the real magnetic underlying dark side of seductive controversy really lies. The hypnotic affect this has on the human psyche is really fascinating especially when its presented under the guise of healthy fun-loving and life-affirming entertainment.buy this if you like to lAUGH AT soul deadening conformity presented as cool and campy dance numbers. Yeah i know what youre going to say "its just a movie dont take it so seriously".I Know. RelAX. hAVE fUN. Enjoy! ;) "you really tore up that beatbox" lulz
