Although I understand that again, this is for kids, so the point often has to be a bit more expressed. Without getting into too much detail, I would have preferred for the dad/preacher and the church scenes overall to have been a bit less nonsensical.
Let it shine disney movie movie#
My only complaint with this movie is the church scenes. The movie progressed at a decent pace, and was entertaining and engaging the whole way though.
After all, whats cheesy and cliché to an adult is often a first time experience for a kid. I believe cheese and clichés in kids movies are totally fine. Of course the movie is a bit cheesy at times, but it's intended to be for kids. I hope America as a whole will support this movie as well. I think it says a lot about how far television has come in terms of diversity. I was thrilled to see Disney encourage it's minority viewers with this film. As someone who is typically 100% NOT a fan of rap, I liked the rap in this film, because the message was clean, and thoughtful and the beats were hot.
The writing, especially the rap, was pretty impressive for Disney. As a 29 year old, I would definitely listen to songs from this movie outside of watching it. He has a fun actor to watch and has great voice for rap. CoCo Jones is an amazing talent and I hope her race doesn't hinder her popularity and/or ability to shine on Disney (or anywhere else). This movie has some of the best music and best raw talent ever produced by Disney. My rating has a lot to do with the music from this movie, and the diversity this movie adds to Disneys offering. My rating of 9 out of 10 may seem extreme, however, for what it's intended to be, this movie was very successful.
