jadelapointe Super fun to watch Love this snowboarding love story Very similar has geek charming our starstruck

mischievouslyradiant I've only seen a few movies that is centered around a sport, and I really love Cloud 9. Who cares if it's cliché or similar to those other movies? It's a fresh, new take on a similar idea...for me, I don't even notice it, unless I'm thinking about it rather than enjoying it and letting the movie entertain me. What is wrong with you, people? You should just steer away from entertainment as a whole, if you're just going to observe all the similarities and details and criticize it!Anyway, this is one of the best sports movie I've ever seen. I grew up with The Cutting Edge (1992), I used to watch Go Figure (a Disney movie, like Cloud 9), and my Dad introduced me to Ice Castles (the first movie and its recent remake) a few years ago. All centered around figure skating, as that's the sport I grew up with. This is the only snowboarding movie I've ever seen. I think Disney should do more movies like this :) They should do a sequel to this, really.This is just me, but I did get offended with Will at first. Appearances are important to girls, very important for some. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good, and I don't think Kayla was overboard with it. Her attitude just seemed to make it appear as if she was going overboard with it, since she grew up spoiled.I love it when they become friendly, and Kayla's so sweet when she becomes friends with the dog. The snowboarding scenes were awesome, although some people who do snowboard might get offended at the average-ness of it.I give this a 10/10 rating! It kept me viewing throughout, and I can't believe I didn't see it sooner.

thenekassyni Typical Disney movie trying to bank and promote an upcoming child star. As with all Disney stuff this is meant for the rich people out there. You have the nice clothes and settings. The movie was alright for what is it and again being a Disney movie after all. I have to say the production value appears to be above average though.I didn't even get through the movie as every scene with Dove shows off her bright red and puffy lips. Now I find some people like this and I guess it is done to sexualize her but did we have to make it so big? If you google her and look at the photos she doesn't have the puffy lips. The problem with this is, of course, whenever she talks it appears unnatural. To me, it is gross. The close up gives me shivers. Reminds me of that one girl in the Transformers movie that had such a bad pair of puffy lips I cringed everything she was on screen.

je_and_la Once again the Disney Channel has provided us with a typical story of self-discovery, laced with conflict and the formation of new friendships. In this story we meet Kayla Morgan (Dove Cameron), a pampered snowboarder whose Father owns the ski-lodge where she snowboards. Also heading the cast is Will Cloud (Luke Benward), a snowboarder turned dog groomer after a particularly memorable fall during his failed attempt at the coveted Cloud 9. When it is revealed to Kayla that she only won a place on the snowboarding team as a result of her Father owning the resort, she turns to Will to learn the Cloud 9 to prove to everyone that she truly is the best female snowboarder around.Both Cameron and Benward delivered good performances throughout the film, though there were times when their chemistry together was not very believable. The entire cast, including Mike C. Manning (Nick Swift), Amy Farrington (Andrea Cloud) and Jeffrey Nordling (Sebastian Swift) brought this story to life in a very believable and enjoyable manner. It is a shame that Kiersey Clemons (Skye Sailor) did not have a more prominent role in the film as her acting was very enjoyable to watch. Praise must be given to the stunt coordinator Kathy Jarvis and to the stunt doubles who did an incredible job with the snowboarding scenes. My eyes were glued to the screen, anxious to see whether they would land their jumps or not, and I found myself breathing a sigh of relief when they did.The story itself progressed at a reasonable pace despite its predictability. There never seemed to be a time where the story was lacking or where the pace of the film was too fast. Two big thumbs up to the screenwriters Don D. Scott, Justin Ware and Katie Wech for penning such a captivating film.Utah, USA is a beautiful place and that beauty was reflected in this film. The scenery in Cloud 9 was incredible and was a perfect back-drop for a film centered on snowboarding.The ending let this film down in as much as it was disappointing and relatively anti-climatic. The film itself was very enjoyable to watch and I found myself waiting anxiously to see what the final outcome would be, and though the film was very predictable, I found myself disappointed with how it ended.All in all this was a very enjoyable, although predictable, Disney Channel Original Film, and is deserving of the 7/10 rating given.
