The original Teen Beach movie was very good. When I heard that a sequel was in the works I thought that it would be difficult to match the original. However, Teen Beach 2 is even better than the first Teen Beach. The choreography is dazzling! Ross Lynch seems to defy gravity with his remarkable dancing skill. The cast again is fine with Mack (Maia Mitchell) in a perennial romantic tug-of-war with Brady (Ross Lynch). Teen Beach 2 is very entertaining!

While watching this movie I realized how boring it could get. But I never knew how bad an ending could be until it happened. My first main problem with this movie is Brady and Mack. They were awful together in this movie and it made absolutely no sense. They changed Mack's characters completely and Brady stayed the same. However the fact that Brady didn't want to tell Mack about making surf boards (when they surf together!) made no sense. Second, the songs were terrible. They were mediocre compared to the ones they made in the first one. None of them made me attached to the movie. Third, Lela is a movie character not a real person. She would only know how to say her lines. She wouldn't know to change the story. And lastly, that messed up ending. They decided to change the Wet Side Story movie to Lela Queen of the Beach and they completely rewrite Mack's character again! Now she's more laid back to be with Brady. Which I need to say is a terrible lesson to teach kids. Don't be yourself in a relationship, become exactly like the person you're with. Overall, it's forgettable and the only thing worth it was Tanner and Brady.

This sequel to Teen Beach Movie by the Disney Studio strays more into fantasy than the original. The original film dealt with a pair of fans from today who think the original movie from the early Kennedy era Sixties is the greatest piece of cinema ever made. Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell step into the world of that movie and change things just by being there and then have to leave, but not before repairing all the damage they've done.

Teen Beach 2 is exactly the opposite. The lead characters from the film Garret Clayton and Grace Phipps step into the real world and their Sixties frame of mind gets quite a culture shock when they see the world of 2015. Pretty soon however the whole cast even the extras come over into the real world. Like characters from the Holodeck of the Enterprise. And those folks meet an inevitable end when they venture beyond their Holodeck world.

Now it's Clayton and Phipps who turn things upside down and have to get back to their world.

The film actually asks some intriguing questions but in the end you have to remember this is a Disney film and meant for juvenile audiences who don't think so terribly deep. The performers are scrubbed clean and fresh and are attractive as you would expect anything from the Magic Kingdom to be.

It's obvious that Disney Studios is going to stretch this out like they did with the High School Musical series. Here's an interesting thought though. In the movie if the real players who were Clayton and Phipps when they were younger, if they're not dead would now be even older than I am and on social security.

What if their 2015 selves met Clayton and Phipps? Turn that one over in your mind for a third Teen Beach movie.
