This is from a mother. Im not crazy about Disney movies. But I saw this on TV and I was hooked. I couldn't leave the TV. Its sweet, has great messages, wonderful acting and a lots of fun music. This was a wonderful movie. I would buy this in a second.

When I saw this movie, I thought that it was inspirational and it taught good life lessons, it's entertaining, and the music was great!!

I am glad that Keke Palmer was in it, because she can sing, and act, too! When I saw her in Akeelah and the Bee, I thought her talent was sure to be recognized. Corbin Bleu was pretty good in the movie too!

The music in the movie was really good, and Keke and Corbin were great singers.

Everybody in my family loves this movie, including my parents, my 9-year old brother, my 3-year old sister, and myself. This movie is a definite must-buy! It rocks! The jump-rope stunts are pretty cool too!

This movie is awesome! Everyone in my house from the adults to my five-year-old loved it. It's entertaining, and it teaches kids some valuable lessons. I will also be buying the soundtrack!

I'm a mom & my 6 & 4 yr old love this movie. The movie is up-beat & energetic. My son practises jump rope everyday especially as he's watching the movie.
The movie message is about following what makes you happy.
Very nice movie.

I bought this because of child actor Keke Palmer appears in it and I was not disappointed. It's such a fun film with cute actors, lots of incredible double dutch scenes and a great tutorial offered in the special effects section. It's a must have!

We are from South Africa, and the movie only came on our disney channel after we got the DVD, so my kids were pretty happ with themselves. It was a really nice movie, it was heartwarming, and i found it very touching. We even shed a few tears!!!My kids now want to do Double Dutch!!!

This movie won't win any oscars, but it's great for what it is, a great family film. It's so hard to find movies that all of my children (ages 2-10) will sit down and watch and that WE feel good about them watching. This is one of those movies. Made in the same mold as High School Musical, I hope Disney continues to pump out these type of movies. They're slightly cheesy, but a refreshing change from many movies marketed today for kids.

All Izzy Daniels (Corbin Bleu) knows is boxing. He's the third generation boxer in his family and hopes to be the third to win the coveted Golden Glove. After defeating neighborhood bully Rodney (Patrick Johnson, Jr.), he's well on his way.

Izzy's neighbor has an obsession all her own - Double Dutch jump rope. Mary (Keke Palmer) is quite good at it and the leader of a team trying to make the state competition. Izzy constantly teases Mary and her team mates about their jumping.

All that changes one day when Izzy is forced to take his sister to watch a Double Dutch competition. He's fascinated by what he sees. When Mary's team looses one of their members, Izzy agrees to step in while they search for another member but only to help them practice. He quickly finds that, not only is he good at it, but he loves it. Even more then boxing. Can he balance the two sports? Does he want to? What will his dad say when he finds out about it?

There's not doubt that this movie is modeled after High School Musical. Not only does it have similar (but not identical) plot points, but it even stars Corbin Bleu. But that's not to say this is a bad film. While I knew where the story was going, I was still drawn into events. The cast all does a good job acting. And the Double Dutch scenes were choreographed so well. They were fun to watch.

This is definitely a movie trying to cash in on the success of High School Musical. But that doesn't mean it isn't worth watching. It's an entertaining movie in it's own right.

Pulled in two directions, Izzy Daniels must find a balance between his passion for boxing and his promise to help his friends with an intense double-Dutch jump-roping competition. Live-action, Jump In! combines themes of friendship, hard work, and individuality with energizing hip-hop music and impeccable choreography. This DVD was selected by the ALA's Association for Library Service to Children as a 2008 Notable Children's Video, and it is the winner of the prestigious Andrew Carnegie Medal, awarded by ALA for excellence in the field!

Wish there were more movies like this. Completely clean. Shows good family life and people working out problems within their relationships. My 5 and 7 year old loved it and the 7 year old said it was his all time favorite movie. Even my 3 year old enjoyed watching some of it. It also got my kids very interested in jump roping. Definitly 5 stars!
