Excellent film brilliant in fact if I could give it 1000 stars I would because it's that good. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster. With wity lines like "I don't know which is more amazing, that song, or the fact that you're 'Turkey-on-Rye'".It had me dancing and singing and chanting "I'M RADIO REBEL" all the way through.I recommend everyone watch Debby Ryan's greatest role.

I wouldn't normally take the time to see a movie like this but I am a couple of weeks into my recuperation for foot surgery and came across this one on Netflix streaming movies.It stars Disney actress Debby Ryan, who really was a teenager during filming as Tara, and we also get to know her as Radio Rebel. Tara is very shy, sits at the back of class, rarely participates without being forced to. But she starts a web-based radio show, where she talks about topics of interest to fellow teens, and plays appropriate music.This movie is about her influence on the students and their quest to figure out who Radio Rebel is. The annual school prom gets involved, as the principal says she will cancel prom if Radio Rebel doesn't reveal her identity. The young cast has the usual, popular but snotty girl, polite and talented buy shy boy. And an assortment of every kind of typical high schooler.This is a clean movie that would be of most interest to the younger crowd, perhaps even mostly the preteen crowd.

Hey this is a Disney movie so what else could one expect except cuteness, teenage angst, and an all is well that ends well finish? That is the ending everyone expects and gets. Debby Ryan actually does a nice acting job in this movie. She has to go from a shy, self effacing girl in public to an over the top, outspoken radio personality when she is on the air. The fact that she is so disrespected in public and so well liked when she is on the air actually shows the duplicity of the human nature, make fun of those you don't understand and admiring the people that do what you approve of. I am guessing that the writers did not write as deep I commented on buy hopefully I am wrong, after all it is a Disney movie.

So, I don't know why everyone is hating on this movie. To all of you that says this is a remake of PUTV, it's still worth watching because this is more modernized. In fact, it's better for the kids of this century to watch because they'll actually understand it and relate to it. So don't be hating! The storyline, characters, actors and the message is great. In fact, the messages (note the plural) are inspiring. All kids should watch this! Radio Rebel is definitely one of the better Disney films out there and it's worth a watch. I think I said this a million times already, but WORTH A LOOK AT! I personally loved it.
