DVD Reviews of The Cheetah Girls 2 (Cheetah-Licious Edition)
DVD Review: Life is About Service, Not Pleasure
Summary: 1 Stars
We are here to serve others, not to please others. Whether you serve as a social worker, teacher, hairdresser, or short-order cook, we all serve. At least that is my belief. This film, although visually entertaining and fun to watch, also communicates a wealth of Disney falsehoods to our youth. The principal falsehood I wish to attack here is that the road to success in life lies in pleasing the world.
I suppose that for entertainers like the Cheetah Girls, pleasing others is part of what it means to be successful in life. The success of an artist today is measured by how many people buy the records and attend the concerts produced by the artist. Success in our society is the capitalist success. But that is not the case for most of us who choose other career paths. What is success, say, for a teacher? Or a bricklayer for that matter? For a teacher it would be having educated students that can perform well on standardized tests. For a bricklayer, it is in building good walls that can shelter human beings for a very long time. In short, the rewards of a job well done for both of them.
At different stages throughout the movie, the Cheetah Girls perform for important-looking executives who can't even detach their cellphones from their ears as they watch the girls perform, before then pronouncing their approval by advancing The Girls to another level in the competition. The viewer can then observe the Cheetah Girls going bananas over this approval. I, for one, was horrified by this because it clearly sends the message that success in life is about, to use American Idol parlance, "Wowing the pants off Simon." I hope that the sexual connotations of that quote are not lost on anyone. It is, in essense, a sexual disempowerment when a woman comes to believe that her success depends on making a man "hard" for her, but that is exactly what is going on in this movie.
It is a disempowering belief to have when you think that you absolutely have to go around pleasing others. Can you imagine your child operating under such a belief? Imagine your daughter thinking she needs to please others in order to be successful in life. How soon before she becomes pregnant? Fourteen? How soon before she has a mouth full of herpes? Twelve? Don't worry. You can always teach her to call them "cold-sores."
The movie also misrepresents Spanish culture to a great extent. A spanish guitarist is seen performing rythm and blues style music for the Cheetah Girls. The Cheetah Girls themselves are treated as larger-than-life celebrities, as if they were Cher, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Tina Turner on tour together. A bit of a stretch for a Disney generated act. Also Spain is a very white and pretty racist country. If I was an African-American pseudo-celebrity, Spain would not be my first choice for a country in which to try to "make it."
Life is about service. To teach our kids anything else is a gross diservice to them. That Disney is attempting to communicate sexual disempowerment to our young girls is quite creepy in itself, and something that should put parents on guard against anything that comes out of Disney.
Description of The Cheetah Girls 2 (Cheetah-Licious Edition)
More moves, more music, and more growl power are packed into the sensational Disney Channel Original Movie, THE CHEETAH GIRLS 2. And this Cheetah-licious Edition DVD has 2 versions of the movie -- the exclusive extended version and sing-along version. Best friends Galleria (Raven-Symoné), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Dorinda (Sabrina Byran), and Aqua (Kiely Williams), A.K.A. the girl band "The Cheetahs," get the opportunity of a lifetime when they strut their way to Barcelona, Spain, to perform in an international music festival. Along the way, the "amigas Cheetahs" learn that, although their paths are not the same, they are lucky to have one another for the journey. Directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL), THE CHEETAH GIRLS 2 will have you movin' and groovin'! Catch all the excitement and never-before-seen bonus features in this all-new Cheetah-licious Edition DVD.The hot girl rock group The Cheetah Girls is about to discover just how important dreams and true friendship are as they head to Barcelona for an exciting summer vacation. When Chanel's (Adrienne Bailon) mother announces a trip to Barcelona to meet her current boyfriend's family, Chanel is distraught at being separated from the Cheetah Girls for the summer and worries that her mother may decide to move to Barcelona permanently. Galleria (Raven-Symoné) soon cooks up a plan that lands all of the Cheetah girls in Barcelona for a music festival, but once there, the girls' individual interests in music, dance, fashion design and even romance sweep them in so many different directions that there's little time for rehearsing together. Add in some very real competition from Barcelona's favorite upcoming singer Marisol (Belinda Peregrin) and her conniving mother and a lack of familiarity with the music festival rules, and the Cheetah Girls chances of winning the contest begin to fade. Galleria soon realizes that she must let each of her friends go in the direction their dreams take them, even if it means the end of the Cheetah Girls. In the end, all the girls learn a vital lesson about the importance of tolerance, friendship, and dreams. This production is bursting with tight music and awesome dance segments choreographed by High School Musical's choreographer Kenny Ortega. Bonus features include a sing-along version of the movie, the music video "Dance With Me" performed by Drew Seeley featuring Belinda, and tips from the Cheetah Girls on how to be "Cheetah-licious" in everything from fashion and makeup to friendship and diversity.
