This movie came out when I was in the 7th grade and I was obsessed with it. Here I am in the 10th going on 11th and I found the tape of "Pixel Perfect" (I taped it years ago) and while I was watching it, I realized...this movie kinda sucks...it was so random and the songs...you really cant dance to them...and yeah...I guess its still an ok film but its not as good as I use to think it was.

HSM ROX!
ew yeah
i'm the same way
i LOVED it and like sang all the songs.
and i watched it back recently and im like
ew wtf is this?
"You jump I jump, right?"
I'm the exact same way. I guess I was around 5th or 6th grade. I was in lovee with it. Today I saw it, I was like some of the acting is lame. The music is lame. And, the dancing is lame. I guess we remember our love for the movie more than the actual movie itself.
shareI don't remember how old I was but I know I loved it. I'm in 9th grade. I watched this today and I don't know. The acting was lame and the dancing is. but the songs hit home "Nothing;s wrong with me" and "notice me" stick out. I really felt for Sam. I guess I'm going through something similar. The guy I like likes someone who is perfect.
You know the speed of light;so what is the speed of dark ?
Haha I used to be obsessed with this too, but I think even then I knew it wasn't that good. I remember the dancing and the cartwheel. That is like the most ridiculous thing ever! Plus I never understood the obsession with Loretta, but I guess if he was creating his perfect girl than she is perfect to him, whereas someone else could create a girl who looks completely different. I think the end of this movie was pretty interesting and good though. Overall, this is a decent DCOM, but has a lot of flaws. I used to love You Wish! too and when I've rewatched it I've been thinking 'What was so great about this?!'
edit: Okay so I just rewatched it and yeahhhh some of this is pretty bad. I think at about 3/4 into the film it started to get really cheesy and Roscoe and other characters started to be really melodramatic. The entire bit with Sam pretending to be Loretta is just ludicrous, especially since she clearly wasn't Loretta haha. I remembered the stupid cartwheel and that part was just as awful as always (reminds me of the dog being stuck in the sewer bit of the Cheetah Girls - totally ridiculous!). I did think the end was interesting though, when Loretta goes into Sam's brain. It was also strange how Sam was suddenly drawing a crowd by singing ballad-type music at the very end. Throughout the whole movie we are told Sam's not good enough, yet she is at the end? Okay that's a nice sentiment, but they should have had her performing at some new place, not the place from the beginning that rejected her! It was just unrealistic that suddenly that guy who ran the place was interested in her, when before he said she needed to dance and was all about the up tempo pop music. I still think it's okay but the second half is definitely lacking a lot more than the first.
That is kind of how it is in the real world. You end up being rejected and because you come back with a disability or from a disability, you are given recognition. I remember I when I saw this movie, correct me if I am wrong; however, does she not fall at this place and thus, she ends up getting a concussion? Then after the concussion she comes back to perform and so because of that adversity, she starts being accepted? It's kind of like now days when people are autistic or have down syndrome, they do something less spectacular than your average person and are praised for it.
THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR. COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!
