Editorial Reviews
Tara Adams (Debby Ryan: Jessie, The Suite Life on Deck) is just an ordinary high school junior... except for one little thing. Tara’s got a secret—a secret identity, in fact; she’s Radio Rebel, the most popular radio DJ in Seattle. In person, Tara is as shy as they come, but on the air, Radio Rebel is the smoothest talker around—a skill she needs more than ever right now, since her school is in the midst of a clique-crisis. Radio Rebel gives voice to all kids, popular and unpopular alike, and questions the status quo, to the chagrin of her school's administration. Now, with the principal hot on the trail of Radio Rebel’s true identity, and mean girl Stacy coming between her and cute boy Gavin, Tara must decide between keeping her identity a secret, or being true to herself… and risk losing everything.

A Positive Message, But This Disney Channel Original Is Only For Big Fans Of Debby Ryan
June 21, 2012
Format:Amazon Instant Video
3 1/2 Stars for fans of Disney Channel Movies
2 Stars for Everyone Else
I'll be the first to admit that I am not the intended target for Disney Channel original programming. But a number of their recent movies have had enormous cross-over appeal whether from infectiously bad pop songs, likable leads, or just by qualifying as silly fun. I know the network has been trying to position Debby Ryan as the next big thing, and fans of "Jessie" (among other projects) will likely flock to "Radio Rebel." But I'm not sure that I see a superstar quality as much as I see a pleasant and nice young lady. This movie really plays as a pint-sized and thoroughly scrubbed version of Christian Slater's cult hit "Pump Up The Volume." It serves a positive message, for sure, in that everyone should be happy with who they are. But aside from that affirmation, "Radio Rebel" falls a bit a short in comparison to other Disney efforts. It offers little in the way of surprises or originality, and the humor isn't strong enough to overcome a rather lackluster and familiar plot.
Ryan plays a painfully shy girl in what appears to be Seattle's most squeaky clean high school. She experiences all the regular issues such as an unrequited crush and being on the outside of the popular clique. But she yearns to be accepted for who she is! A popular radio figure has captivated the entire school with her up-with-people podcasts. Known only as Radio Rebel, everyone (aside from the cartoon villains) are enchanted by the mysterious voice. Just by uttering familiar platitudes about acceptance, she has revolutionized the way people think about themselves! This is such a goldmine of originality (not so much), a local station picks her up for a city-wide broadcast. Poor Seattle! The citizens of that great city really want to hear constantly about a local high school (with about 40 students) and its prom problems? Doesn't say much for entertainment in the metropolitan area.
In case you haven't figured it out, Ryan is Radio Rebel. You know where this flight of fancy is headed from the opening scene. To add drama, the school principle is made out to be a nasty piece of work. So one-dimensional and uninterested in her students, it's an insult to educators. She punishes the rebellion (so slight you won't even notice it) by calling off the prom. But Radio Rebel can solve that, find love, and teach a few lessons along the way. It must be exhausting! "Radio Rebel" is certainly well meaning, it just lacks a bit of the fun that I expect from these endeavors. Pleasant, but unimaginative, the Disney Channel has put out many better, more entertaining, and/or funnier films. KGHarris, 6/12.
