Product Description: A high school girl is invited to a party by the most popular boy in school -- only trouble is she's grounded.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/SCHOOL DAYS Rating: NR UPC: 883904109655 Manufacturer No: M110965
Amazon.com: Technology is the way of the future and every high school student needs a video phone, at least according to Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) and her friends Alexa (Lauren Collins) and Cayenne (Shenae Grimes). When Mandy's overprotective Dad (Kevin Pollak) finally gives her a video phone and a pair of contacts for her 18th birthday, Mandy feels like her image, and her entire world, is about to change for the better--especially when her long-lived crush Drew Patterson (Robbie Amell) actually notices her. What Mandy doesn't count on is that her father will use her new phone to track her every move and that Drew's attention will inspire Lisa (Cindy Busby), the hottest, most popular girl in school, to begin plotting against Mandy with a vengeance. A full 90 minutes of serious attitude, technological obsession, deception, and just plain meanness, this film appeals primarily to the preteen and teen audience and manages to convey the message that goodness and trust will prevail despite enormous odds. Parents will most likely find the film distasteful, though they could potentially learn something about letting go, and it should be noted that there are a fair number of sexual references like "hump and dump," virgins being "deflowered," and "do her and dump her." Look for Ashley Tisdale's "Shadow of the Night" performance as well as 2 bonus making of segments, cell phone confessions, text commentary, and a trivia quiz. (Ages 11 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
Underdeveloped & overexposed Yet another teen comedy with the following content:
1. Over-protective parent 2. Unpopular girl with 2 friends 3. Popular girl with 2 friends (never one or three) 4. Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy 5. Party 6. Senior Prom (You already know how it ends, don't you?)
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) has just turned eighteen 2. Her father (Kevin Pollack) is experiencing separation anxiety 3. He gets her a cool cell phone and contact lenses for her birthday, plus a plan for her future 4. Contact lenses immediately improve her looks (hair, make-up, posture, everything) 5. Video cell phone is actually for paranoid dad to track his little princess 6. Plan for the future could ruin hers 7. Out of the blue, Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy Drew (Robbie Amell) expresses an interest, much to the disgust of popular girl Lisa (Cindy Busby) 8. Typical shenanigans follow, except now it's high-tech thanks to the ever-present video cell phones 9. Suspend disbelief as Mandy overcomes all obstacles in order to disobey her father 10. Typical ending follows
Due to the content I would say that this is for ages 13 - 17, but to be honest it doesn't have that much to offer in terms of comedy, life lessons or entertainment. Wait for this on cable on a boring afternoon.

Feel Good Movie! Once again bought this movie for my 11 year old daughter and I probably enjoyed it more then her! Robbie Amell is real "Eye Candy" and Ashley Tisdale was very cute and funny in this movie. I loved the ending but wish it went a for a bit longer...it ended way to fast for my liking...but sometimes you can't win them all. I would recommend it to all. Some things went over my daughters head but all in all it was worth a watch! Loved Ashley singing in it! Would recommend to all who are Ashley and Robbie fans! I now am!!
Ashley was hilarious in this movie! Ashley Tisdale once again showes off her amazing acting skills in this movie!!! She was so funny. It's not inappropriate in any way for ages 10 and up. If you aren't popular, or have an over protective father, or if your an Ashley Tisdale fan, or maybe just looking for a good romantic comedy, then Picture This is perfect!
Cute "Picture" Yes, it may be somewhat predictible in the destination, but the ride getting there is great. Very funny. Ashley Tisdale is hilarious, and Robbie Amell is SO easy on the eyes! A bit disappointed the the ending was so abrupt, but still a good movie.
Reasonably good It's a very entertaining movie, but I expected a lot of it (Ashley Tisdale fan, of course) and didn't get as much as I though i was going to get.
But well, I would recommend it, it is a good film to watch while you are bored at home :)
