School's
out, surf's up and Disney Channel is taking a dip into the teen beach party
movie genre with "Teen Beach Musical," a modern "no more
complications, just good vibrations," break into song and dance comedy in
which surfer girl McKenzie and her boyfriend Brady literally go into a classic
surf movie musical where it's bikers versus surfers -- and they're in for trouble
if they don't back down. While they
hatch a plan to get back home to present day, the duo try to blend in as
everyone around them spontaneously breaks into song and dance. But when they
interfere with the plot of the movie, their fate may be changed forever.

It's different, right? So at the upfront, Disney did say they were going to take a lot of risks, right? I think this is one of them. As long as Disney does the movie right, I think it will be amazing. The name, Teen Beach Musical, isn't to original so it'd be hard to hold people's attention, as it sounds like a cheesy High School Musical rip-off. The previews just need to be very good so we can overlook the name! What do you guys have to say about this movie? I want to see it!
