As with similar Disney movies such as High School Musical, the message in this movie is very clear, and that is to not be ashamed of who you are, and that all dreams are possible. It is a refreshing change to watch a movie as light-hearted as this with all the current problems in the world. Mitchie is a lovable, non Mary-Sue character, and Shane is the perfect depiction of a lot of diva-like stars in the media these days. The characters of Nate and Jason are greatly underused in this movie, though I'm sure this will change in future sequels. I loved the viciousness of Tess, and I'm glad the writers didn't write a cliché and have Tess pretending she wrote Mitchie's song.
However, the characters that puzzled me with their presence were Lola, Barron and Sander. None of them contributed anything to the storyline, or the development of it, and just seemed to be there to make up numbers. Despite this, I loved the movie, and can't wait for a sequel to be filmed.
