Decently good...

The Cheetah Girls, to most people, is considered a "bad" movie. For personal reasons, I gave it a 6 out of 10. The bad things: it was cheesy in places, badly acted, and obsessive over the smallest things. The good things: it was decently entertaining, fairly-plotted, and the characters were fun to watch.

The first character, played by Raven, is decent. She is way too obsessive about her music. Her acting was fair. One thing I hated about her was her stupid dog, Toto. The dog should have been thrown out. I felt like the movie was trying to make me feel sorry for this poor pooch that falls in this hole and must be rescued.

The second character is kind of annoying to me. She goes out and shops around for clothes with her mom's credit card, and then cries to make mommy stop yelling at her later. Her character is horribly acted by what's-her-face.

The third character doesn't really fit in. The producer's probably thought, "Okay, we can't be racist so we'll throw in a white girl". She's some kind of a dancer, but she doesn't know if she wants to leave the Cheetah Girls. Weird.

The last character... Well actually, I don't remember anything about her (other than her high-pitched singing, which got on my nerves at times).

I actually found this movie entertaining though. The songs were okay, and the choreography was good. I am going fairly easy on this film. The first time I saw it, it wasn't bad at all. The second time it aired on TV, I watched it again. It wasn't as good. Flawed but entertaining. The Cheetah Girls is one I would suggest to the younger generation...
