The American Mall

4.6 | 1h40m | PG | en | Drama

The executive producers of High School Musical keep the good times rolling with this upbeat musical comedy set in the one place every American teenager's home away from home - the local shopping mall. Ally (Nina Dobrev) is an optimistic adolescent singer/songwriter whose hard working mother owns the mall music shop frequented by every teen in town. When Ally shares her music with Joey (Rob Mayes), a janitor in the mall who harbors rock star ambitions, she is thrilled to find someone who can truly relate to her songs as well as her heart. Trouble looms on the horizon, however, in the form of the mall owner's spoiled rotten daughter Madison (Autumn Reeser). Madison is the kind of girl who's used to getting whatever she wants, and what she wants now could prove disastrous for both Ally's ambitions, and her mother's popular music store.

Reviews

sesmith70 I bought this DVD from a bargain bin, and I still paid too much. I find sappy musicals so annoying, and this one hit a new low for me. I have heard more depth in songs on Jem! The songs are so heavily auto tuned, it was like listening to Britney and Madonna caterwauling! The characters are all so shallow, the dance routines make Glee look like Hamlet. The whole movie was a giant "flash mob" with little flash and a lame mob. The plot line is very similar to many teen dramas (90210, Degrassi, Parker Lewis Can't Lose). I had never heard of any of the "actors" in this movie, and I can see why. All very forgettable performances, although I thought "Ben" (the hot dog guy) was cute. Save your money, don't bother with this one.

Amanda This movie is exactly what a stupid teen musical should be like! With the hottest female main character, fun characters, great catchy songs that gets stuck on your brain forever and a fun story. And also that horrible mean girl with lots of power that you just want to blow up, the parent that doesn't understand and of course love and trouble. I liked how they made the movie, and the actors and actresses, especially Nina Dobrev who I think does a really great job.I really recommend this movie to chick flick lovers or someone who just wants to get cozy and watch a cute film :) Hope this helped!

simple_sweetness89 i think this movie was awesome. it had the same plot line of high school musical but while you are watching the movie it doesn't seem anything like it! the songs where all very good and entertaining!i think the relationship between ally and joey was a tad unbelievable because the night they sing on the roof is the first time they met and i think it is kinda weird how they are about to kiss when they hardly know each other, however this movie was very enjoyable and i look forward to buying it on DVD. ally's voice was doubled and i felt it was OK but at times kinda sq.the main guy, joey should have been cuter because he wasn't that cute.on much music they kinda skipped parts and had way too many commercials and they cut off some of the music numbers. my favorite song in the movie was survivor because it shows that she is getting over joey and her voice isn't as squeaky in this song! but i really think her voice is good. i was surprised that autumn Reeser could sing. that made the movie better. she is a really good actress. i recommend this movie to people who aren't picky with what they watch!

jasmbart I actually enjoyed the movie... it was definitely geared more towards an older age group, even though majority or the actors are probably the same ages as the High School Musical cast, in some cases they are actually younger. From what I've read... the singing voice of the main character "Ally" is not in fact Nina Dobrev, but a singer by the name of Keely Hawkes Pressly her myspace is as follows... www.myspace.com/keelypressly I thought her voice was cute, had range and was probably perfect for the sound they wanted... she was definitely better than some of the younger startlet singers whose voices are so high that only dogs can hear them. LOL. But I will definitely be buying the soundtrack, the songs are very catchy, and I wouldn't mind re-watching the movie or listening to the songs.
