This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Okay so lets start at the beginning that Victoria Justice and Avon Jogia are in this movie and you think "Hay maybe they will be funny and sing well." No the songs are bad in the beginning and they just keep going down.But lets start with the charters. Five year old's on crack could have prouder a better set of charters the lead who is playing a "Rocker" is stereo typical along with Avon s character and basically every one else in this film so they could have basically left out about 98% of the people and still had a alright movie. then you have to deal with the repetitive story line you watch ten minuets of this move and you can call every thing that will happen. ow they will fall in love and Shes going to dump him after they win and of course he will leave his dreams and go back to a Dumb concert at the last minute to try to win it for them(witch they don't). but there was one spot that actually surprised me when there teacher reveled he was a rock star that quit his old band and became a public school teacher (Ya right). This show is a mutant offspring of Victorious and Glee Plus throw in HSM. I love Victoria and Avon and Victorious and Glee are great shows but this movie was just really bad with no moments that actually made you wont to continue to watch it. I counted to watch just to hear Victoria Sing two auto tuned songs and apparently see Avon beat box in the end game. but after all that what disappointing me the most about this movie is that it is 90 something minutes long. Most people could easily seal up whats happening in about 30 tops. if you don't agree watch the movie again and just barley try to look for these things and you'll find them. this "Movie" is nothing short of the worst Nick movie ever. It probably could have been better from Victoria's charter's point of view or maybe anyone Else. In the end the movie provides little satisfactions on there short jornney with no twists or turns that you cant figure out. THIS MOVIE SUCKS!

First of all for an only TV published movie this one is really at the top of its own expectations.I liked this one much better then high school because it has something that high school musical hasn't even dreamed of SOMETHING MUCH MORE CLOSE TO WHAT EVERYBODY CALLS ¡REALITY MY FRIEND!Why? A friend of mine asked well i told this movies songs do not just start playing out of no where like if it was some kind of magical stuff this one is pure reality because the songs get started when ever they clicked a play button , not when ever they felt like singing.Spectacular is a one time most watch at home, i didn't felt like if was losing my time on it.

When I first saw an ad for this movie,I wasn't that excited.But I gradually started to get more and more excited.I didn't set my expectations to high,because when I set high expectations on Camp Rock I just got disappointment instead.But once I heard the soundtrack,it was nothing like I expected.The songs were different from High School Muiscal&Camp Rock songs.They were very addictive. The only thing that was disappointing was the finale,Everything Can Change.It's a good song,but the scene was just them singing in a studio.I think they should have had a more bigger finale,maybe a scene between Courtney and Nikko then a song? But all in all,it was enjoyable and it was definitely more than I expected.I will definitely buy the DVD as soon as it comes out.

Nothing like HSM. It's a musical, but it's completely different. Show Choir, sounded really stupid before watching, but I think the point gets made, to each their own. Even better, when different tastes and talents mix together for one big Spectacular! It's a great storyline, the kind we need more of. It wasn't corny or stupid. Well, the cow costumes were "lame." I'll admit that one. One comparison though, the writer of this movie, enjoyed the final stage performance on Sister Act II. It works though. It was different enough from what's already been done, to have made it worth watching. And it would be worth it for Nickelodeon to make a Spectacular 2!
