Degrassi Goes Hollywood (2009 TV Movie)

pretty good but could have been better

[7/10 · 16 August 2009]

after all the hype and build up to this movie, i must say i was a little disappointed. i thought the plot of this movie was far-fetched but not bad. i liked how they brought back a lot of the old characters like Craig (Jake Epstein), Paige (Lauren Collins), Ellie (Stacy Farber), and Marco (Adamo Ruggiero). I actually watched this movie twice, the first time i only watched Manny (Cassie Steele) and Jay (Mike Lobel) scenes because in my opinion they were the best part of this film i think they are both great actors and have amazing chemistry and i loved their storyline and everything. Cassie Steele is amazing in this movie especially with the storyline about her professor at Smithdale always cutting her down and emotionally abusing her. As for the rest of the film, it could have been a lot better. I thought Stacy Farber (Ellie) was good. But i didn't like the way her and Craig ended things it kinda left us in the dark same with Paige and Marco we never find out if they made up. There was just was too much Paige in this movie for me but others may feel differently. I was also very confused why Mia (Nina Dobrev) was even in the movie cause i felt like she didn't have any part at all. Overall i thought it was pretty good i loved the way it ended with Manny and Jay. I hope they have at least some part of season 9 of Degrassi. I give it a 7/10.
