this movie would have high ratings galore if...


ashley tisdale played the daughter along with robin williams playing as her father.

sad but true.

reply

No, it wouldn't.

The movies aren't rated low because of race, it's because the movies SUCK.
Why do you think "RV" is rated low? According to you it should have "High Ratings Galore"! Well, it doesn't because people don't rate on race, they rate on the quality of the movie.
I'm sure you'll find that people of all races have rated this film low.

reply

No, they DO rate on race and have been doing so for years. Your declaration is simply not true.

reply

Its nothing to do with race, this movie would just have been better with better actors fullstop, the entire family just felt so artificial and the daughter (cant remember any names) over acted every single chance she got. The only parts i found remotely amusing involved the pig and the young son. Its just a super weak cast, regardless of race.

Wackoboy, why do you think Disney promoted HSM more? I think it still kind of has to do with race.

reply

or the fact that it brings more money.......
I am not some kind of crazy hsm lover, although I am big fan of Ashley.
But, I also like Raven and well, only sabrina out of the cheetah girls.
I think the race comment might be right.
But it's not disney.
It's US. it's the VIEWERS.

I was J/K about the race thing.

HSM brought in more money for it's cheesiness. Kids like the easy songs and such. the Cheetah Girls are "too urban and choregraphed" I guess. That's why it didn't get as much exposure. Neither did it's stars (Like Raven and Belinda) get as much exposure as say Efron and such.

But I thought this movie was alright and I don't see why people like trashing it an rating it low.

I agree with everything you said, mrjgman...
I love HSM because it's fun to dance to, it's fun to sing to, though in hsm3, too much troyella already.. Arghh.. hehehhee

I liked the movie due to Donny Osmond being in it and acting so peppy and happy like the actress playing his daughter. That is what I loved about it.

i think RV is way better than this, but it still, not too good movie

i just want spend my money to a good movie

reply

You are absolutely right. I'll bet a big chunk of the voters rated after seeing the TRAILER instead of the movie. Plus, I've notice the string of low ratings in African-American comedies (2.5 for Roscoe Jenkins? The film was hilarious and deserved a higher rating than that.

I hope this rating stupidity ends soon. It's pathetic.




Weird is the new normal.

reply

I think unfortunately it also has to do with race. Which is why Disney promotes HSM more than the Cheetah Girls.

I have to agree also. I'm not racist but it's the sad truth. There are still a lot of racist people and a lot of black comedies are rated lower than the stupid white comedy films! It's really stupid.

reply

"Stupid white comedies", not racist huh?

reply

ur an idiot. HSM is a better story line about guys and girls vs just girls in TCG- A S $- learn something please.

reply

[deleted]

ya, i have to agree with you about hsm. i dont understand what the hype is all about.

reply

I wouldn't see it either way.

I love Robin Williams,

but Ashley Tisdale can go suck it.

reply

Then please explain to me why this movie has an even lower rating.

I'd love to see you pull the race card out for that one.

reply

Hahahahahahahaha! Good one.

reply

Actually Cheetah Girls 2 and Jump In made higher ratings than the original HSM!!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!

reply



Cheetah Girls had better songs and better acting. The plot of HSM has been done too many times before and was very predictable with cheesy songs and lines.

Cheetah Girls was very popular when released, but Disney promoted HSM more and that's why it's so big now.

reply

I agree that african american comedies (or whatever i should call them) often seem to get a bit lower rating than they deserve, but this movie was just pure cow manure. The story, jokes and acting made me wanna blow my head off!

reply

i meant that this movie would have higher ratings because ashley tisdale and robin williams are better actors. how the hell did this turn into a race riot?!

Cecilia thinks my psoriasis is sexy.

"RV" doesn't exactly have a brilliant rating...

... but anyway, if you make a movie with minorities of ANY type as the leads, then a minority audience is going to be more interested in watching it than the majority... (Harold & Kumar don't count, because they aren't a family unit... ) If you make a movie where ethnicity or lifestyle circumstances don't present an obstacle in being cast, then you have a greater chance of appealing to everybody.

Not ONCE did the OP refer to race in their entire post. So those who brought it up are the ones who's bringing race into it. It's so sad and hilarious at the same time
