I saw the premire of this movie and although it is girl likes jock, popular girl declares Jock hers and tries to kill girl socially. It was a really cute father daughter (or parent letting go) movie. As a HS guaduite, I thought this was a great movie to watch with my mom, and i was right. Shes been having seperation issues, like Ashley's Dad, and it was a fun movie to watch and connect with. Even my teenage brother thought it was a hilarious movie, watching all the things Ashley has to go through. From phone punking her Dad to convincing an audience to pretend to be a DVD movie.
I thought it was a really good movie!
Great job Ash!
Oh one more thing I really liked about it is the main character stayed true to herself. She didnt let the guy use her.

Picture This! Is basically fluff, exactly what I was expecting. Teen romantic comedies have gone downhill since the days of 10 Things I Hate About You. But then again, this is a made for movie so expect exactly such.

The movie stars Ashley Tisdale Mandy, as a nice and smart, middle social class girl who has a crush on the hot and rich guy in school, who by the way is also perfect and has won every single medal in every single sport. He is Prince Charming. He finally notices her and invites her to his party as his date. But, Mandy is grounded and, thanks to her new video phone (tons of product placement in this movie), her dad is keeping tabs on her every half hour. Mandy must race against the clock and get in all sorts of implausible situations to go to the party and fool her overbearing father that she is studying at a friend's house. Between ruined clothes, allergies, towed cars, and a battle of the bands, Mandy has her work cut out for her. But, still to top it all up, the evil rich and popular girl is out to get her.

The movie is funny because it has so many implausible situations that you just have to go with it. The movie also shows the influence of technology and media in the current culture. Nice use of gadgets. Now, I must get that phone (the true main character of this movie!).

I rented this movie expecting just another average teenage comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the actors/actresses played in the movie and lived up to the plot. The movie is basically about a girl named Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) who is not very popular in school and who is trying to date Drew Patterson (Robbie Amell).

The plan is to attend a big party to which Drew invites her to, but unfortunately as luck would have it she is GROUNDED by her dad for breaking some rules. She later convinces him that she is only going to go to "study" with her 2 other friends, but he insists in a BIG BROTHER way that she must check in every 30 minutes via video cell phone on how everything is going. That is when the real fun starts and things start to get real crazy! Mandy must do crazy things every 30 mins to try and make her dad believe she is actually at her friends house studying. The scariest part of the movie was when she is driving and her dad asks her "is that a horn I hear" and insists on showing him what she is doing. She takes the keys out of the ignition on a busy road covers her eyes while her friends steer the car. I don't recommend this at home, and it almost getting all three of them killed by nearly hitting a truck head on.

There are a lot more crazy things Mandy does to try and fake where she is. You will have to watch the movie to see if her dad finds out what she and her friends did and bust her. I don't want to spoil the fun.

I definitely recommend this movie to everyone. It is a funny as heck down to earth romantic comedy!

this is a really good movie. i would say like other people that this is a typical teenage disney movie except that this is pg-13 but in a way it isn't. this talks about an unpopular girl that wants to be popular but she doesn't try to fit in(which in a lot of disney movies they do that. they try to fit in and everything)but mandy stays real and she's herself throughout the whole movie. it's also different because at the end her father kind of found out but he didn't do anything about it because he thought is was time for him to let go and mandy did the right thing by going back home. this is also like other a typical cinderella movie because this is about an unpopular girl that likes a cute guy. one of my favorite parts was when everyone pretended to be like a dvd. my point is that this is a really good movie, this is just like a typical teenage movie but it's a little different and it's very enjoyable for everyone 12 and up

Once again bought this movie for my 11 year old daughter and I probably enjoyed it more then her! Robbie Amell is real "Eye Candy" and Ashley Tisdale was very cute and funny in this movie. I loved the ending but wish it went a for a bit longer...it ended way to fast for my liking...but sometimes you can't win them all. I would recommend it to all. Some things went over my daughters head but all in all it was worth a watch! Loved Ashley singing in it! Would recommend to all who are Ashley and Robbie fans! I now am!!

Ashley Tisdale once again showes off her amazing acting skills in this movie!!! She was so funny. It's not inappropriate in any way for ages 10 and up. If you aren't popular, or have an over protective father, or if your an Ashley Tisdale fan, or maybe just looking for a good romantic comedy, then Picture This is perfect!

Although this story is predictable, it is also packed with a lot of laughs and the great sounding Shadows of the Night by Ashley Tisdale. Very fun and well worth watching again and again. Tisdale rocks! Cute & adorable.

Yes, it may be somewhat predictible in the destination, but the ride getting there is great. Very funny. Ashley Tisdale is hilarious, and Robbie Amell is SO easy on the eyes! A bit disappointed the the ending was so abrupt, but still a good movie.

Yet another teen comedy with the following content:

1. Over-protective parent
2. Unpopular girl with 2 friends
3. Popular girl with 2 friends (never one or three)
4. Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy
5. Party
6. Senior Prom
(You already know how it ends, don't you?)

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Mandy (Ashley Tisdale) has just turned eighteen
2. Her father (Kevin Pollack) is experiencing separation anxiety
3. He gets her a cool cell phone and contact lenses for her birthday, plus a plan for her future
4. Contact lenses immediately improve her looks (hair, make-up, posture, everything)
5. Video cell phone is actually for paranoid dad to track his little princess
6. Plan for the future could ruin hers
7. Out of the blue, Hunk/Jock/Rich Guy Drew (Robbie Amell) expresses an interest, much to the disgust of popular girl Lisa (Cindy Busby)
8. Typical shenanigans follow, except now it's high-tech thanks to the ever-present video cell phones
9. Suspend disbelief as Mandy overcomes all obstacles in order to disobey her father
10. Typical ending follows

Due to the content I would say that this is for ages 13 - 17, but to be honest it doesn't have that much to offer in terms of comedy, life lessons or entertainment. Wait for this on cable on a boring afternoon.

It's a very entertaining movie, but I expected a lot of it (Ashley Tisdale fan, of course) and didn't get as much as I though i was going to get.

But well, I would recommend it, it is a good film to watch while you are bored at home :)
