Lovestruck: The Musical

When I want a movie that simply entertains, I am often disappointed with a movie with foul language or a dark movie when I was promised a comedy. This movie was an absolutely delightful surprise in that it entertained from start to finish. The effects and scenes were not silly but sweet and the music and dancing were icing on the cake. Good acting all around and solid light-hearted entertainment.

Love, love, LOVE this movie. Love me some Drew Seeley!

Lovestruck isn't amazing. It's alright and only has one perfect scene it. With it's story I thought I would fall in love with it, but I didn't. It was lazy at times and didn't include character building moments. The groom was useless to the plot. He wouldn't even tell the girl he loves why he loves her, which is kind of felt weird. Also he's just going to stop being a playboy for one girl? The other leads were meh other than Chelsea Kane and Drew Seeley's ten minute scene. I personally think it was a mistake to not show more of him. But for the short time he was in the movie, he made it worth my time. Especially the scene Dj Got Us Fallin In Love Again. The whole dance and song made me fall in love with that ones scene. Lovestruck is an alright movie that is watchable but don't expect anything great.

Okay, I kind of loved this movie. The song sequences were great, and I loved all the dancing, mostly because I can't dance to save my life and it fascinates me to watch other people do it. I like how it gets right up into the meat of the plot really quickly - HOWEVER, I didn't like how long it took for her husband to come on the scene and how short a time Drew Seeley was there. He was the main reason I watched it and I was really disappointed by that. I think it would have been interesting had they explored the concept of her becoming young forever more thoroughly; to me it seemed like a thrown-in point that resolved itself too quickly, and left it up for a sequel. (Maybe they find another bottle?) And maybe it could be about where the bottle came from in the first place, too.

I loved this film. Just a shame netflix doesn't have it anymore. Happy, uplifting and funny.
