10 Disney Channel Movies That Were So Bad, They Were Good

1. "Camp Rock"

At 14 years old, I loved "Camp Rock." And 21-year-old me stills loves Camp Rock, except now, I realize just how terrible the movie actually was. It's Disney's version of the cliche summer love, with a whole lot more music. Tweens on couches everywhere were fangirling over the Jo Bros, allowing their oh-so-good-looks to cover up their absolutely horrid acting. Connect 3 sounds more like a cheap kids' game rather than the name of a popular band.


2. "High School Musical"

HSM portrayed unrealistic views of what high school was like... I mean, my school didn't even have a talent show. The entire movie was essentially just Zac and Vanessa singing about their emotions and feelings. There's so much singing it makes your head hurt. No matter what, you have to admit it's hard not to sing to every song, especially "We're All In This Together."


3. "Get a Clue"

Innocent Lindsay Lohan was one of my favorite actors. Her acting, before she went off the tracks, was pure gold, just watch the "Parent Trap" or "Freaky Friday." This movie is probably the closest movie to a mystery we will ever get from Disney. Almost everything about the movie was bad. The outfits were horrible, the acting was definitely not the best, and just the overall story was less than OK, but it had Lindsay Lohan starring in it, which makes it totally worth it.


4. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

If you don't remember Zenon, the 13-year-old girl who lives in space, did you even watch Disney Channel movies? Everything about this movie is brilliantly horrible. From their bright spandex outfits to the space slang, this movie is perfect for this list. Zetus Lupetus, I can't forget "Supernova Girl," the horrendous song that I admittedly still know some lyrics to.


5. "Hannah Montana: The Movie"

Chances are if you watched the "Hannah Montana" TV series you've probably seen the movie. It had all the same characters, plus a few new ones, and the movie was basically just an extension of the show. This is just another one of Disney's coming-of-age stories (because we obviously don't have enough) in which Hannah is shipped off to her family farm to learn a lesson. I honestly enjoyed watching the series but I definitely could have gone without this movie.


6. "Return to Halloweentown"

"Halloweentown" will always be my favorite DCOM of all time. The first one was a classic, the second and third one were OK, but the fourth one was horrible. They've already saved Halloweentown three times, why did they have to add another problem. I also never understood why they switched actors who played Marnie, because Sara Paxton was a horrible Marnie. It's so hard to hate this movie though because it is a part of the "Halloweentown" series.


7. "Princess Protection Program"

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez made this movie better than what it should've been. The acting wasn't the best and the story line was less than average, but it's always hard to hate a princess movie. It was a good movie in the sense that it showed young girls everywhere that no matter who you are, you can always be a princess.


8. "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

How can you not root for the popular homecoming queen, who fights an ancient evil with some hardcore karate black belt moves? Yeah, that's a mouthful. The acting is mediocre, and sadly Brenda Song should've just stayed with "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."


9. "Cow Belles"

Does anyone remember the show the "Simple Life" with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie? This movie is basically the Disney Channel version of it. Ally and AJ Michalka showed so much potential but this movie did not. No one likes watching spoiled, snobby girls actually having to work for once. The end of the movie got better, but only after the sisters realized materialistic things weren't everything.


10. "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"

"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" is one of my favorite DCOMs despite the horrible accents and bad acting. The actual movie wasn't that bad, just most of the story line didn't make sense. First of all, what middle school takes their students to a foreign country?! I was lucky enough to go to the park when I was in eighth grade. Oh, and you can't forget the last song where Lizzie basically has a duet with herself, the Italian Lizzie with the horrible accent (no offense Hilary Duff, love you).

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
