Review: Lemonade Mouth

Lemonade Mouth premiered today on the Disney Channel. I highly didn't agree if it was going to be a good movie. Turns out it was awesome. New student Stella Yamada (Hayley Kiyoko) of Mesa High starts the idea of forming a band and saving a Lemonade machine with fellow detention students Olivia White (Bridgit Mendler), Wen Gifford (Adam Hicks), Mohini 'Mo' Banjaree (Naomi Scott) and Charlie Delgado (Blake Michael). The detention teacher Miss Reznick (Tisha Campbell-Martin) hears them sing as they clean up the detention room which used to be a band room. Thinking they can't do it, they go for it. So everything goes well until the school band named Mudslide Crush hear about Lemonade Mouth performing in future gigs. Through the movie each characters personalities are shown. Their personalities are much like teens getting through high school.

The movie wasn't like previous Disney Channel Original Movies. It was really long. Anyways, when Lemonade Mouth does perform for the first time, they stand up for not taking out the Lemonade machine near the detention room. So Principal Brenigan (Christopher McDonald) shuts down the gig. Few days after Principal Brenigan shuts down the gig, he tells the band not to practice in or near the school or they would all get suspended. So they perform at the local pizza shop.

After hours of practice, 4 of the members except Stella gets injured. Up until the the contest for Rising Star, the band falls apart when the instruments are not tuned right and Olivia's voice is raspy and dry. With nothing else to do Scott Pickett (Nick Roux) of Mudslide Crush starts playing the guitar and the audience sings one of songs of Lemonade Mouth. The band had tears of joy when the audience sang. Even though they didn't win, they still had the chance. After their success, the Lemonade machine which is also in the band name is saved and there is a new band room, complete with a new auditorium. The ending shows Lemonade Mouth performing at Madison Square Garden with newly acquired band mate Scott originally from Mudslide Crush.
