Lemonade Mouth – Die Geschichte einer Band (TV Movie 2011)

Lemonade Mouth – Die Geschichte einer Band: Directed by Patricia Riggen. With Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko, Naomi Scott. Five high school kids, Olivia, Wendall, Stella, Charlie, and Mo, meet in detention and start a band based on the lemonade vending machine outside the detention room.

“With the kids from High School Musical now grown and some of them even leaving the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney Studios had to get a fresh group of musically talented young folks for a new musical film. The result is Lemonade Mouth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhich is the band that a group of kids who serendipitously sent to the same detention for violating one of martinet principal Christopher McDonaldu0026#39;s dumb rules at the same time. That kind of coincidence would tell most people including these kids that there is some karma at work here and that theyu0026#39;ve got to form a band.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main thing that Lemonade Mouth is supposed to do it does well, that is give Bridgit Mendler a showplace for her singing talents. I guess itu0026#39;s kind of a tossup between Mendler and Demi Lovato to see who will be the next Miley Cyrus for Disney. Lovato has some great comic ability, but as for singing I think Mendler has it over her. In any event sheu0026#39;s also got a nice wholesomeness about her that I hope she neither loses and that just might give her career some staying power.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe songs arenu0026#39;t bad either and Christopher McDonald who usually does quite serious roles shows some hidden talent for comedy. The kind of principal you love to hate. Maybe Lemonade Mouth might just get a few more viewers than those who normally frequent the Disney Channel.”
