Lemonade Mouth is kinda dumb...

so I've talked about a lot of Disney Channel movies here and their descendants Camp Rock High School Musical I been around the block every time I do one of these I get a lot of requests in general but specifically to do the movie Lemonade Mouth and whenever people request this movie it's always like can you please make a video about lemonade mouth but don't you dare say anything bad about it so I figured before we really get into the whole like winter holiday season and find out what kind of masterpiece Vanessa Hudgens is making this year I thought it was finally time to check this movie out so let's take a walk lemonade mouth starts off where any good team coming-of-age flick begins with all the main characters sitting in detention because that's what happens when you listen to that rock and roll music and play them video games I tell you what the rules in here are simple no eating no drinking you know sleeping no talking no tapping no texting you break a rule I had another day of detention are we clear great you know I always thought it was kind of funny how detention is supposed to be like a punishment or whatever right but like all those rules the teacher just said they're like those were the same rules in my entire high school anyway I mean I swear there's nothing a high school teacher hates more than the sight of kids having fun you know what I mean but anyway so this is where we meet most of the main characters of the movie we have Stella when Moe Charlie and Olivia now to give us a little backstory on these kids here we flash back to that morning before all this happened first we have Stella the new kid in school having just transferred a month into the new year which surprise surprise she's not too thrilled about Stella Stella but who cares right I can't the new and dad might have thought to ask me before you use our family halfway across the country when is this guy who's pretty weirded out by his dad's new girlfriend have fun I mean you know I'm just saying like right Charlie is a drummer whose parents really want him to play soccer Moe is the straight a good girl who's got a bit of a dark side like exposing her shoulders and she's also dating this guy the pretty boy guitar player in the local rock band who's definitely one of those kids who still quotes Rick and Morty like all day and this is Olivia the relatedly awkward character whose average in every way just like me so this first part of the movie is really just showing us how these kids got detention in the first place like Moe gets caught trying to skip class with pickle Rick over here Charlie throws the fit because he doesn't want to play soccer and he's very mature about it when calls his teacher stupid Stella interrupts the school assembly my decision hey don't let your school take away your rights okay and finally Olivia gets in trouble for reading a book yeah I have no idea how the school works at all anyway like I said all these kids get sent to detention which of course wouldn't you know was all the way down in the basement so we follow Stella as she starts to learn a little more about what kind of school she transferred to you lost me oh no intention huh follow me what is this place this is the underground unless wearing a varsity jacket or a cheer skirt around here your pace to clear see they're catching on already detentions at the end of the hall now on the way to detention all the kids come across this ancient looking vending machine that only sells lemonade in like mason jars or something and one by one they all end up drinking some in this strangely dramatic montage where the stars align and fates collide this was that moment when all the kids realize that drinking lemonade that's probably been sitting there since like 1957 might not be the best idea but also just quick aside here isn't it kind of weird how the teacher said she'll give you more detention if you have any food or drinks or whatever and then there's a vending machine right outside the door I mean that's like the American school system in a nutshell right there anyway so this brings us back to where the movie first started now it turns out the teacher in charge of detention is actually the school's music teacher and she's not too happy about how the principal treats everyone who doesn't like kicking balls around you know I'm saying rather than let you twiddle your little thumbs for the next hour we are going to put those thumb's to use we're gonna unpack and we're gonna turn this storage room into a music room we might as well make the best of it right we've been banished to the basement but anyway so she tells the kids to clean the room up while she's gone and storms off to go do something now as per usual with these kinds of movies what at first seems like a bunch of random noises like water dripping finger tapping or me crying in the corner because I tried to say hi to the girl I had a crush on and all that came out was so suddenly all of this turns into music and everyone starts singing and dancing and making this face for some reason cuz like I said it's one of these movies but right then the teacher comes back and sees what these kids have been getting up to you rising what Rising Star it's a talent competition so the teachers big plan is to have these kids win the rising star competition and hopefully change the principal's mind about everything now because they're teenagers of course they're all like whatever I don't even care cuz I mean you know can't caring about stuff is for losers right guys but anyway so after this everyone goes home and here's where we find out what's really going on with these kids for example Stella's parents are both doctors Charlie lives in the kind of place you'd see in like a youtuber house to work when lives on a horse ranch and he finds out his dad's new girlfriend is a horse girl which actually kind of explains everything if you think about it anyway I just mean like at first I thought this was gonna be one of those movies about high school kids who want to play music but their parents just don't understand or whatever but turns out it's really just about a bunch of teenagers fed up with their lives being so gosh-darn wonderful anyway so the next day still a text everyone even though they never exchanged phone numbers and brings them all together again I signed us up for rising star this morning oh one experience enough I also signed us up for Halloween fashion it's amazing what a principal will agree to if he thinks his new problem student is channeling her energy into something productive Stella I don't know about the rest of you guys but I don't want to be some random face in a yearbook you know I get what you're saying Stella I really do but like there's a whole lot more life after high school okay you know many times I've looked at my yearbook since I graduated never you kidding me I don't want to member any that stuff anyway so after some convincing and tossing a coin for some reason they all agree to give it a try because you know what's the worst that could happen right now the first big performance they're getting ready for is the Halloween bash but see here's the thing Mo's boyfriend's band is also playing that night and he's not too happy about it so we can know that new girl Stella she has some band and miss Reznick isn't on it this so-called band has half our stage time now it's nuts it's me what I'm in the band could play backup guitar for me or something but come on joining the band is taking half our night from us what's up with that I mean I really don't want this to come between us [Music] I slip out he says that like the best thing Moe could ever accomplish is dating him but anyway so shockingly he continues to behave with the maturity of a guy who pops all of his colors and Moe isn't sure what to do although I mean I'm pretty sure the answer is just to date anyone else but hey what do I know if a guy doesn't call for a few days should the girl worry you guys do that you're a guy right you're not like a guy guy Wow no I just mean like you're my friend you're my friend now right after this what are the other guys in the same band as Moe's boyfriend just kind of starts causing trouble for like no reason one thing leads to another and Stella ends up spitting some of that radioactive lemonade all over the guy and things get pretty intense break it up here break it up what is going on here I went to go get her go blossom and they just start threatening and next thing you know it's lemonade mouth over here spits and that is how we got our band name always called lemonade mouth cuz they're all drinking lemonade I mean I knew that I totally Sammy I didn't just figure it out right now we talking about now after this is this little scene of Moe walking into the weight room at school and she finds out why her boyfriend's been ignoring her all this time which like yeah that kind of sucks but I mean he's got one of those haircuts and he rolls up his jacket sleeves so hey you know what you signed up for ammo anyway so finally it's the night of the Halloween bash and everyone's excited and nervous and you know all those emotions you have when you're young and your life is still worth living so lemonade mouth starts playing their show and of course Stella just can't help herself and she starts throwing lemonade around and goes on this long tirade about a bunch of random stuff and would you believe the principal is not a real big fan of this we just spoke her minds principal brenigan you shut us down because the decisions I make are for the good of this school Lemonade Mouth is finished you will not use the music room you will not use the instruments if I hear so much as a hum coming from the locker-room showers with all due respect which is none by the way but still quick question why exactly would you be listening to us take showers now what the band being shut down by the principal they were all just gonna give up and go their separate ways or whatever but turns out being barred from playing at the school really only makes them more popular and punk rock anyway so good job principal dumb-dumb so they keep on playing together and become bestest friends and their band keeps getting more and more popular and just everything is looking pretty great now one day Moe's out walking around somewhere and guess who decides to show up oh come on Moe we please just talk look Moe I made a mistake I'm not the same girl I was two months ago me my music we're a package deal now okay and I know just you forgive me okay hold on a second mr. chin and jawline just show up and be like oh hey sure we're I remember when me and my friends tried to sabotage your whole life yeah well now that you're more popular really sorry I picked the wrong girl I mean come on most I gotta fall for that can you forgive me of course I can what it doesn't change anything between us it's gonna take a lot more than sorry to fix this okay you have me going there for a second mope now skipping ahead a little bit finally we get to the day before the big music competition you know the one they talked about back at the beginning of the movie rising what Suzy star and suddenly just out of nowhere everything starts going wrong Moe just gets like a really sick and Charlie being the genius that is besides that this would be the perfect time to start sharing some feelings for a long time I wanted to tell you just you know you were home with Scott and and then we became friends I like I said it but of course she's just like I just want to be friends could we please not do this right now and then Charlie in His infinite wisdom just kind of freaks out like oh yeah well your songs are stupid anyway now what kind of name is Moe back why did your parents name you after motives from smart guy or something and then when hurts his eye Olivia loses her voice it's just a hole to do and everyone's ready to give up and quit because like what's even the point anyway you know what I mean what's to talk about okay we can't play so we're out no me maybe this is a sign maybe it's time to call it quits but after singing one more song together they all talk it out and have one of those kumbaya moments you know where they realized that the real music was friendship all along so everything's looking pretty great until the next day at the big rising star competition [Applause] [Music] cheese in crazy so yeah they completely lose the competition but most boyfriend kind of sort of redeems himself by leaving his band to try and save MO and friends okay where are you going they need help man you do that man and you're out of the band for good I'll find another band doesn't really help at all but hey good try and finally in the end he and Mo get back together Olivia and when are also kind of a thing now I guess Charlie realizes that being a musician is kryptonite for like 90% of girls under 25 and Stella meets the guy in charge of Mel's lemonade you know as someone who had like no friends in middle school in high school and pretty much stay at home every weekend I've seen a lot of Disney Channel movies this might be one of the best I mean a lot of Disney Channel movies have this like obsession with making the dumbest jokes and just forcing this bizarre sense of humor into everything no big you catch that dude more times I'm I tripped over my own shoelace like a lot of their movies are about high school students in their mid to late teens they're all like like they're 12 for some reason now lemonade mouth however is actually quite watchable I mean to be fair the stories kind of dumb especially in the first half where the main antagonist is the principal who hates music and love sports or the fact that three out of five of these kids almost have the exact same backstory but other than that I actually thought it was pretty good it's a simple movie to be sure but I think that's why it works as well as it does you know when they lay off the magic powers and time-travel and robot boyfriends or whatever Disney Channel can actually make some pretty alright stuff now and then well the holiday season is quickly approaching we're in November already which is unbelievable by the way how is it November how is it almost 2020 it feels like this year was like 10 years long and also like maybe 10 minutes you know I'm saying like time is just getting all weird nowadays I swear something's going on but yeah so lemonade mouth was kind of interesting for me to watch just because it's like I think it is actually a good like just as a movie it's like pretty good like just on its own you know kind of like High School Musical 2 or descendants - there's a couple of these movies that come out every once a while on Disney Channel where like it's actually like a legit movie it's like you know this pretty good on its own not just like good for Disney Channel but like good on its own but I didn't think it was kind of weird how like the first half of the movie sets up this whole plot thread about like oh we gotta save the school and we gotta save the art program and then just all of a sudden they're like now who cares well yeah wish can play music for the next 45 minutes know one thing I thought was kind of funny was how like the the little differences in their stories make these like huge gaps between them because like for example like Olivia's going through this whole huge like family thing that I didn't like I really get into in the video but if you watch the movie you don't talk about she has like this whole thing going on with her family and then and then you have when who's like upset because his dad's girlfriend is young you know it's like this is this is now I'm the same level at all but like I said in the video you know I mean a lot of Disney Channel movies that kind of have this reputation right of like oh is this cheesy kid show you know of course it's gonna be dumb and cheesy but like once in awhile like with lemonade mouth and there's a couple others throughout the history of Disney Channel that I can remember at least where they kind of get away from what they were doing like it's not all special effects it's not all like weird you know they try and do things that are kind of more grounded in reality like lemonade mouth is really just about kids forming a band doing their thing and there's nothing like spectacular about it right so after coming off of Kim Possible and descendants and you know having a movie like lemonade mouth I think is actually quite nice you know for me but like I said in the video I mean it's kind of a dumb movie but it actually is quite good if those things can exist together anyway thanks for watching videos don't forget to subscribe don't forget to ring that Bell so you don't miss any videos from me follow my dog Charlie and Instagram
