Teen pop music stars Aly and AJ make their movie debut as two rich and very spoiled teenage girls who experience a radical change in perspective in the Disney Channel original movie Cow Belles. Courtney (Amanda Michalka) and Taylor Callum (Alyson Michalka) have been well provided for by their dairy owning father Reed (Jack Coleman), but have become obsessed with fashion and societal image and lack compassion for anyone but themselves. When the girls' selfish absorption gets out of hand and leads to a kitchen fire, their father demands that they spend the summer working in the company dairy, hoping to instill in them a sense of responsibility and duty. The initially resentful girls quickly find themselves in a very uncomfortable predicament when the dairy unexpectedly runs out of funds while their father is out of the country. Hopelessly at odds with one another regarding the appropriate action and even their own levels of responsibility, the sisters are forced to grow up in a hurry and end up learning more about compassion and responsibility than their father could have ever imagined. Aly and AJ deliver a believable portrayal of stereotypical spoiled rich girls and their hit song "On the Ride" serves as appropriate background music during one scene of the movie. DVD extras include an exclusive alternate ending; a brief behind the scenes featurette in which Aly and AJ comment on their characters, wardrobes and stunts; and two music videos: "On the Ride" and "Rush."

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Cow Belles... Love Aj and Aly!, March 24, 2006

A Kid's Review

I just watched this movie and I love it. I have been an Aly and Aj fan since day 1. Meaning Alyson on Phil of the Future and Now You See It... and there debut single/music video Do You Believe in Magic. I highly reccommend you watch it on Disney Channel and buy it on dvd when it's released. Also be sure and pick up a copy of there debut cd Into the Rush featuring the singles Do You Believe in Magic, No One, Walking on Sunshine, Rush and the theme from Cow Belles On the Ride!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent film!, June 29, 2006

By	E. Ranoco "eCoder" (Stockton, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The story of this movie was interesting. I usually don't pay attention to the movie that is being played at dinner, but for multiple reasons, I was drawn to watch this.

Aly & AJ plays two daughters that works for their father's dairy company. Something terrible happens, and the two daughters strive to help out to keep the business going. There were also many micro problematic situations in the movie, just like in real life, that always kept the story dyanamic and interesting.

There's guy/girl problems, sister problems, business problems, suspected thievery theories, conspiracies, work/life/family matrix complexities, and the general class jealousy/conflicts. There were probably others, but those are what I remember generally.

Overall, I loved the movie and there was actual thoughtful meaning in it.

This makes a perfect birthday gift for anyone! As well as something for your own collection if you love Walt Disney movies OR just Aly & AJ! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good!, April 30, 2006

By	Jennifer L. Bouse "Madison E.Bouse" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked this movie and Aly and AJ are GREAT actresses and singers and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! But............... even though this movie was good (and I don't mean this as a bad reveiw for the movie or ESCPECIALLY THEM) some of the OTHER(not ALY & AJ) actors were really bad, and in 1 scene all the employees talk bad about Taylor and Courtney (Aly and AJ) but in real life, they would never say bad stuff to the boss's daughters, escpecially to their faces. The reason for this note is only to notify you of some of the good and bad things in the movie, and I don't want to leave you thinking that I don't like Aly and AJ and that they are bad actresses and singers, because they are one of my favorite singers, and they are really good actresses.
