To me, this movie is perfection.
Good concept, poorly executed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Lauren (Sarah Wright), Becca (Ciara), and Kaitlan (Taylor Cole) are 3 privileged volleyball players and best friends. They lose the championship game to Gabby (Adrienne Bailon) and her team. Six months later, there's a fire at the school. The three friends are forced to get on the same team as Gabby. Gabby loses her father to the school fire. Just as the team seems to hit its stride. The team runs into boy trouble, jealousy, and competition creating chaos in its wake.Coach Harlan (Faizon Love) wonders if this is gangsta volleyball. The movie tries so hard to be cool that it really looks cheesy. The volleyball action is lackluster. One character points out that Gabby is too short. It's good that the movie beats me to the punch, but it doesn't make her grow 3 inches. There is enough girl drama to drive this movie. If they could leave the hip hop posing out of it, this could have been a good movie.
Yeah, they needed to hire actual volleyball players, because the volleyball was absolutely pathetic. Terrible hitting form, terrible passing form...the only thing they did right was the warm ups before the games, but even that was so so.... They could have at least undimmed the lights to make it feel like they were in a gym. No volleyball player in their right mind would want to play in such dim light. I hate it when people ruin sports in movies by either not hiring people who actually play the sport or going with stereotype...sad....The acting needed some work too, although Adrienne Bailon did a good job, Ciara did not do so well... She should stick to singing. The story was so typically mtv it was sickening...
i thought that this movie was great. i loved Adrienne Bailon's acting. she's awesome. she showed a lot of emotion and you can tell that she was really into the part. i liked the movie. it kept me at the edge of my seat during the volleyball scenes. and i like the fact that the blonde was portrayed in a good light as "the smart one" and not the boring old dumb blonde. i think that Sarah Manson did a great job. i loved the movie. it's one of my favorites. my favorite character though was Adrienne's character Gaby, she's kinda tough and she's pure Latina. and i also like Rada (Daniella Alonso). the movie was awesome, had drama and some sad parts. i recommend it. the movie is about rival volleyball teams, the Madonna's and the Phantoms. after the Madonna's school burns down in a mysterious fire, the three girls Becca,Lauren & Kaitlyn (Ciara, Sarah Mason & Taylor Cole) decide to go to Cathedral High, home of the phantoms. the girls must learn to get along ans become a team to win the state championship ans reach their goals. there is a lot of drama but i wont spoil it for anyone. it is an awesome movie.
I saw this movie on "MTV". All this movie proved was that volleyball is VERY competitive and the only one who could act in this movie were Adrienne Bailon and the man from desperate housewives(he played a volleyball girl's father).This movie wasn't bad but it was not really good either. It did have its moments like when Adrienne was told by coach that she was off the team her acting was VERY good. Also after she was told she off the team her reaction in the hallway was just awesome acting . But in Ciara's moment to shine when she was apologizing to the team for what she did(you'll have to see the movie inorder to find out what that is) Adrienne Bailon ended up stealing the scene from her and out shining her. I found the ending extremely unrealistic and cliquche. It was a tad bit annoying because it actually could have had a good ending. Many of the people in the movie didn't even look like they were acting it was annoying. But besides the amateur acting that you got from everyone in the movie except Adrienne Bailon and the few minor gliches in the plot line, this movie managed to keep my attention for an hour and a half.
