Gotta Kick it Up!!!

I LOVED this Disney Channel Original Movie when I was little. I thought the main character, Daisy, was the coolest. I loved her dance moves and always wanted to be a cheerleader just like her. This weekend, I wasn't tired so I was watching some TV at 1:00 in the morning. Gotta Kick it Up just happened to be the show that was on. I was laughing so hard! It was so dramatic and cheesy. It's interesting how Disney shows seem so real when you're little but now that i'm older I realize that it wasn't like real life at all.

My favorite things about this movie:

1. Their rocking nineties dance movies

2. The awesome lines the parents say..."Rome wasn't built in a day...you'll have better luck next time."

3. "Si Se Puede!" YES WE CAN!

My real life complaints:

1. The main character is a 14 year old girl with an 18 year old boyfriend. It's obvious that their relationship is all physical and definitely not healthy. 

2. The girls lie to a lot of people because they think they're ready to compete. They play tricks on their coach and the school administration and they don't tell their parents where they are going. They also never get punished for lying. They are told that what they did was wrong but they don't suffer any real consequences. 

3. Apparently Daisy doesn't have parents. The only "parenting" she gets is from her dance coach Miss Bartlett.

When I was little I adored this show! I remember being so excited when it would come on. Looking back,  I realize that although this show probably isn't detrimental for the tween girls watching it, it doesn't show the greatest example of relationships with boys or with parents. 

"Si Se Puede!!!!!"
