DVD Reviews of Cow Belles
DVD Review: DCOM to DVD - Cow Belles
Summary: 4 Stars
In the past, Disney Channel has rolled out some fairly decent made for TV movies that they call DCOM's (Disney Channel Original Movies). But, the past few months have brought some of televisions, and the entertainment worlds, most successful films to date; these include the hugely successful 'High School Musical' and 2003's novel to film 'The Cheetah Girls'. Now comes this equally successful film starring none other than Disney's own Alyson and Amanda Michalka, more commonly known as musical act Aly & AJ. The movie, 'Cow Belles', is somewhat of an extended episode of the Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie reality series 'The Simple Life', where two spoiled rich girls learn about life when they are forced into the real world. Though this idea may sound unoriginal and fairly simplistic, the movie has enough surprise twists up its sleeve to keep the viewers hooked.
The movie focuses on Courtney (Amanda Michalka) & Taylor (Alyson Michalka) Callum, two wealthy heiresses to their father's dairy business. After one clumsy mistake after the next and nearly burning down their home, their father forces them to work in his dairy factory for a week (while he goes off on a much needed vacation) - with the girls' opposition of course. As they start working, mayhem ensues when the company's funds go missing - and with the employee's ready to protest for payment, Courtney's costly sweet sixteen party, and Taylor's struggle to keep the dairy on top while dealing with her sister's issues, it's no wonder one problem occurs after the next.
The film's acting is both tolerable and enjoyable, with Aly & AJ bringing liveliness to their roles with much enthusiasm. Aly, being no stranger to the Disney Channel crowd (she stars on Disney's 'Phil of the Future'), never disappoints. Sister, Amanda, in her first major acting role, does an equally excellent job playing a spoiled, yet eventual hero, Courtney. The two sisters have chemistry that seems to go above and beyond teen twin mega-moguls Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, which should bring success to the Michalka's upcoming Disney Channel series 'Haversham Hall'.
The same cannot be said, however, about some supporting cast members, but all do a passable job of brining the characters concerns of money of daily life into the light. The majority of the 90 minute movie is done with excellence, but scenes of a dairy employee singing peep farm tunes could have been cut.
All in all, 'Cow Belles' is an enjoyable film that surely surprised many of the initial 5.8 million viewers, when it turned out to be more than a 'Simple Life' spin-off. The success of 'Cow Belles' (like its predecessor 'Musical') has brought this DVD with music videos, behind the scenes features, and an alternate ending and started rumors of a movie sequel.
