High school senior Tara is so painfully shy that she dreads speaking to anyone in the hallways or getting called on in class. But in the privacy of her bedroom with her iPod in hand, she rocks out -- doing mock broadcasts for Miami's hottest FM radio station, which happens to be owned by her stepfather. When a slot opens up at The SLAM, Tara surprises herself by blossoming behind the mike into confident, "Radio Rebel" -- and to everyone's shock, she's a hit!

For a start I should probably say that I'm most likely not the aimed audience for this title, which makes my rating at least difficult.Nevertheless, I believe there are good children or teen movies for grown ups as well, so I'll give it a go. In the beginning I was really afraid that my worst predictions come true when I saw all the stereotypes collapsing. Indeed, the movie follows a quite common story line that is poor of surprises for people above a certain age. I do think that it has an important message to tell, but it doesn't stand out compared to other titles of this genre. While some of the running gags are so much over the top that they worked surprisingly well for me, others were just over the top. I developed kind of a sympathy for the main characters but especially the sidekicks at times reminded me of comic books, being very one-dimensional.It's popcorn cinema, you can watch it without really getting bored but all in all you could have created a much more lasting movie around the basic message. 4/10 from me, under the condition that it wasn't perhaps produced for me.

I wouldn't normally take the time to see a movie like this but I am a couple of weeks into my recuperation for foot surgery and came across this one on Netflix streaming movies.It stars Disney actress Debby Ryan, who really was a teenager during filming as Tara, and we also get to know her as Radio Rebel. Tara is very shy, sits at the back of class, rarely participates without being forced to. But she starts a web-based radio show, where she talks about topics of interest to fellow teens, and plays appropriate music.This movie is about her influence on the students and their quest to figure out who Radio Rebel is. The annual school prom gets involved, as the principal says she will cancel prom if Radio Rebel doesn't reveal her identity. The young cast has the usual, popular but snotty girl, polite and talented buy shy boy. And an assortment of every kind of typical high schooler.This is a clean movie that would be of most interest to the younger crowd, perhaps even mostly the preteen crowd.

I thought this movie was pretty good. Even though i don't like Disney movies. i thought this one was good. I know that most people aren't gonna agree with this but hey every body has different opinions right? Anyways I just wanted to say that this movie was great even though there was one fault. the ending was obviously very similar to other movies. I mean why do English movies nowadays always have to end with prom. It gets kind of boring. I mean the story was different but the ending was like boring... cause i've already seen it so many times in so many movies that it seemed kind of repeated. Other than that i had no issues and please no hate cause like i said every body has different opinions.

This movie stunk. You can know the ending just by watching the beginning. It's that cheesy. Apparently I have to write ten lines. Well let's just say that the main character is basically like Demi Lovato in Camp Rock or whatever. And the other guy who she likes is just like any other Disney guy. This is basically like Geekfabulous or w/e. The girl hides her identity, has a guy she likes, guy likes her fake identity, guy has girlfriend who is "popular" and makes him do stuff, identity is found out, guy ends up with girl, girl being nice lets the girlfriend be prom queen or w/e. This is the most predictable movie in the history of life. I showered during the middle of it and I already knew all that s*** happened.
