Okay, I was reasonable impressed. Which, for a DCOM, is really saying something. I had some rather high expectations for Demi and Selena, and I think they delivered. Selena’s character felt a little too much like Alex Rueso at times. Demi’s character seemed a little undefined until like 2/3 of the way through the movie, but that almost seemed to be by design.
The mean girls really ticked me off. Which I guess means they did their jobs. Demi certainly doesn’t seem to mind being covered with food (or fake worms). And It’s still funny.
I had some issues with the premiere, but they did a decent job with he script. There where plenty of funny moments, and the end did not go down at all I had predicted.
The General had some real potential as a villain, but I think they blew it for the most part. I was more afraid of the Asian girl.
Overall, I think I’d give it a B. Maybe even a B+ just because of how cute Selena and Demi are together.
And if any one’s gonna count the number of times they said princess, please post it. Thanks.
My minute my minute commentary follows:
0:01 They put Demi’s name on top, and Selena’s name first. Clever way to put them both equal in the opening credits
0:03 I miss Selena’s old hair. Also, that guy’s a jerk.
0:04 LOL @ “Such princesses”
0:05 Rolling enough Rs there? LOL Also, wee Princess Demi. I mean Rosalina. 🙂
0:06 Costa Luna? General Cane? Major Mason? Who came up with these names?
0:08 Wow.. what terrible security for a castle.
0:09 So… why can’t the mom be the queen? And why didn’t she go too?
0:11 She’s still in the dress, in the jungle.
0:12 Exactly how many princesses need protection? And how are they funded?
0:13 Oh, 29 princesses and wealthy families. Questions answered
0:16 Now she’s Ruby Gonzales in Louisiana. Is the US state department on board with this?
0:18 “You don’t seem sure” “Yes I am Rosie”
0:20 “Yeah, no dad that’s not gonna happen” We where all thinking it!22 Playing cards with your teenage daughter? Great role model there. 🙂
0:23 “Gracias” “Okay, whatever”

0:29 Rosie looks petrified of breakfast. LOL
0:31 “Queen of Homecoming?”
0:32 “What? She’s hot”
0:35 Rosie’s language skills seem to be quite helpful.
0:36 Carter? Rescue her already!
0:38 I sense a plot point coming up. She’s really making a proclamation? Wow.
0:40 Inventory isn’t so bad. of course, I’ve never done it with worms though.
0:41 OMG I love Carter’s Flaming shirt. Selena’s looking goooood.
0:42 Covered in worms? “A little funny. 🙂
0:43 What’s with the plant hats?
0:44 Carter seems threatened.
0:46 Wow, guilt trip on Carter.
0:49 Carter, don’t leave her alone. I’m starting to think the mean girls are more dangerous than the general.
0:50 You have to show her how to do it or she’ll end up- getting a strike. Okay, never mind.
– 2nd Commercial –
(WOWP Movie Promo – Wow, looks good!)
0:58 Carter, you’re doing it again. Quit being like Alex.
0:59 “He’s the king, of frozen yogurt”
1:01 If you can’t turn it off, just let it run and overflow, Rosie.
1:02 Now that’s playing dirty.
1:04 Ed knows too much! We have to kill him!
1:05 I see what they’re doing. Make carter the third princess to take Rosie out of the running.
1:07 Okay, they’ve reached the friends stage. Just in time for them to get ripped apart.
1:08 Can’t wait for the bad guy to get his. Too bad it’s a disney film, ’cause there’s no way he dies.
1:09 They voted for Carter and Rosie! LOL. But now they’re gonna compete and stuff. Oh, and the guy likes Rosie. That’s terrible. And predictable.
1:11 And now it’s time for carter to learn from Rosie. Right on schedule.
1:12 Why didn’t Carter just try the obvious dress on first? Like Rosie did. 🙂
1:15 Uh oh. And I thought it was gonna be Rosie that blabbed. Well, can’t win ’em all.
1:16 Well, the dad clearly hasn’t been watching the movie.
1:17 “What? I’m pretty not smart”
1:18 Mason! Quick kill them! Before they can screw anything up. And don’t go inviting them in.
1:19 We’ll get carter a new dress, no worries.
1:21 And now Rosie knows about her mom, and is falling right into the trap.
– 3rd Commercial –
(Mini Music video for “One and the Same”)
1:28 Carter’s got a plan to take down the mean girls. Too bad it’s not gonna kill that general guy.
1:29 Oh, I see what she’s doing. Get the bad guy on her own turf. Smart.
1:30 Okay, I know the state department would have an issue with a foreign military dictator flying into Louisiana.
1:31 And the girls have their new dresses. Perfect for fighting in. LOL
1:32 Masks. They’re gonna grab Carter thinking that she’s Rosie.
1:33 Carter, you go girl.
1:34 Mean girls lackey turns on her at the worst possible moment. A classic.
1:36 Wow… she’s quite an air head.
1:37 Carter wins. My prediction. Okay, never mind.
1:38 Okay, seriously, no one noticed the helicopter and guards?
1:39 Mean girl’s go going in the pool. And Carter, you gotta fill Rosie in on the plan.
1:40 Oh thank goodness. The adults weren’t sleeping on the job.
1:41 Carter wore a mask and walked they guy into a trap. Not that big a deal really.
1:42 “Get it? I’m bait girl”
1:43 Looks kike Rosie’s dress survived.
1:44 A ha! end credits credit Demi first then Selena. which makes sense, as she is the title chracter. Okay then.
The answer is 086.
I liked PPP. Demi’s character, Rosie, was bland at first — perhaps this was because of her position of authority and being in the public eye anything she says or does will go against her. Selena’s character, Carter, was nothing like Alex. I felt like Carter had a low self-esteem. I agree with you on the mean girls and the villain general. I felt like the screenwriters downplayed the general’s role. This movie could have easily been written with a violent ending — such as Carter’s dad not being on the helicopter, the general taking Carter (who he thought was Rosie) back to Costa Luna, discovering the switch, then brutalizing her … oooo, chills up my spine.
Selena is the most adorable girl in the world. I love her. Her new hair is… different… but still very cute. I loved her character… even though I think she is actually a little more mature in real life.
Demi is also very cute. But… please don’t hate me for saying this… I like Sonny Monroe as a person 100x better than the real Demi. Sonny is nicer, cuter, more fun, wears better clothes, she doesn’t “fake n’ bake” either like Demi. Demi seems like she is trying too hard and a little fake in real life… I just wish she was a little more like the adorably sweet character she plays on TV.
Thanks B! 🙂
Bill, I think you’re right on the low self-esteem hing with Carter. My reference to Alex was more along the lines of the fact that Selena tends to play rather self centered characters that have good hearts under the surface.
Why did the villain keep dragging the mom out of the jail to tell her his plan then send her back without needing anything from her?
Casey, I can see liking sonny better than Demi, but 100x seems a little much. Maybe 2x but 100x?
WMG: I get your point now about Selena taking on typecast roles. She may have acted differently portraying Carter and Alex, but self-centered with a good heart — good point.
Yeah, now I think of it, the villain role is getting sillier. Why didn’t he share his plot with the mom through the jail bars? Duh!
And to Casey: Yeah, I’d rather date Sonny than Demi. But I still have the hots for Tawni Hart and Tiffany Thornton.
Hey, I noticed in the Selena Gomez episode of SWAC that a different actress played Portlyn. Did Disney realize Jillian Murray should find a different line of work?
i like Selena’s longer hair too.
it was cool to see Sel w/out too much make-up.
I agree Tiffany Thornton is pretty damn hot. I think she is going to be a real milf someday lol.
they said princess 86 times
In order for Tiffany to become a MILF, she has to become a mom … I’d certainly like to work on making her one! LOL
Let me rephrase that
I VOLUNTEER!
Ah, Tiffany. It didn’t take her but two episodes of Sonny to make it into my top five! 😀
