Status Update (II) (2018)
5/10
The Magic App
11 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Ross Lynch, Olivia Holt and Gregg Sulkin all Disney Channel veterans star in this film about a new kid in school who while at a phone kiosk in a mall gets himself a magic phone app where all he has to do is update his status as one does on Facebook and you are what you write. Wouldn't have I liked to have what Lynch has acquired.

Of course one has to be very careful in the words you write. For example Lynch writes in his music he's classically trained. When it comes to an audition Lynch opens his mouth and out comes the Habanera from Carmen. We never do find out how he explained that away.

All new kids are a zero socially, but with the help of the app Lynch becomes the big man on campus. He even steals Courtney Eaton whom he is dating in real life from former big man on campus Gregg Sulkin and almost loses good girl Olivia Holt in the process.

Not only the presence of the Disney Channel veterans, but the material itself makes one feel you never left the Magic Kingdom. Still it's entertaining and easy to take.
