This was a very cute film. Corbin Bleu reminds me of Lil Fizz from B2K. Handsome young man and I loved the flirty thing going on with him and Keke Palmer's character Mary. This movie came out in 2007, but I don't watch the Disney channel or Disney movies much so I'm late to the party on this one. The movie is about a young boxer (Izzy) who has a crush on a double dutch enthusiast (Mary). Giving her a hard time -- as all teenage boys do -- and having to drag his little sister out lead to him finding out about a double dutch competition. As with all sports movies, one team member quits and they need someone else to fill in. Izzy, being a boxer, already knows how to jump rope but doesn't understand the point of a double dutch competition. Chances are if you've seen a sports film you already know how this one goes. It's predictable but adorable. I loved all the G-rated flirting Mary and Izzy did. The movie also had a little bit of edge with Izzy's rival who's father isn't around and who comes from a poor family. I like the way the movie mentioned his rival's circumstances without relying on them in a "whoa is me" way. And Izzy's two sidekicks cracked me up, especially Mr. "I'm a be sick." That dude reminds me of so many guys I grew up with. He was actually my favorite to watch for comedy relief. Side note: This film made me remember how much fun I used to have jumping Double Dutch. I wasn't nearly this nice but I could hang and I used to always be outside jumping with other girls. Only reason I didn't give this movie 10 stars was because I thought more would come of the crushes. Then again, this was a Disney film so I guess that wasn't supposed to be a big part of it. It was fun to see a bunch of African-American actors doing a positive film that both young boys and young girls could relate to. I wish there were more of those out now for kids to look up to instead of reality TV.

Previews of HSM's Corbin Bleu jumping double dutch made us want to catch the replay broadcast of this Disney Original Movie. I never really thought that double dutch is a serious sport for some people. I have never even seen anyone jumping double dutch in real life where I live. The conflict of Corbin's character Izzy to be a boxer (as the dream of his ex-boxer dad) versus that of being a double dutch jumper (thought to be a sissy girls' sport) has been tackled in so many other youth fims, not the least of which was High School Musical itself. But the leads are very talented and engaging. And furthermore, I was very entertained by the music, dancing and jump rope skills displayed in this movie.

i must say that the detailed explanation of lobo girl, pretty much said it all. i was not impressed with this movie for it lacked fundamental points in order for a movie to succeed. 1. humor (the funniest part was watching Corbin bleu do those cheesy back flips in the beginning) 2. romance (just like camp rock, the ending of whether or not kiki and Corbin ended up together is still hanging) and 3. substance (it seems as if everything has been molded off of high school musical!!!! i mean, the same plot. main character struggles between passions of two opposite paths and meets a girl along the way. wow...I'm intrigued...NOT!! anyway, i must say i am biased to lobo's ah-mazing comment because i know her, but that's okay because it still covered everything that people should know before they commit themselves to watching this movie. well, done lobo p.!! see u soon!!

This is the only movie I've seen that practice Double Dutch, it's nice to see a different sport. I remember me watching this as a kid and jumping all day long with my siblings. It is a very entertaining movie for kids, and I'm sure young adults can resist it. The songs are good and the pacing works, it's not boring. Good message, the story is predictable, yes, but still fun to watch with kids.

First of all, I have to tip my hat to Disney. In the past, the movies they have made have been over exaggerated kid-movies. Before seeing this film I never thought much of jump roping as a sport, just an activity. It TRULY changed my mind. The storyline begins with Izzy (Corbin) a young aspiring boxer who becomes a stepper in a local double-dutch jump roping team. Izzy now finds himself stuck choosing between boxing and jump roping, friendship and family, who people want him to be, and where his heart truly lies. Not to mention mocks from piers, and a bully who tests Izzy's limits. It's good to see a movie that is realistic, and yet has good morality. Jump In! captures your attention by awesome meandering dance moves, shuffled into jumping and ropes and a bracing storyline to go with it. Corbin Bleu brilliantly makes his mark in Jump In!

Jump in isn't horrible, but it's that generic teen show where you can predict scene by scene. The whole plot has been done since Adam and Eve if they even existed. Dad/god says do this...Son/Caine does something else... in the middle dad/god is angry...by the end dad/god forgives...and everyone lives happily ever after. It's not a go-to movie. It was probably just to milk some coins from High School Musical. Last Words: Jump out.

yeah OK look I'm not the average "everything" is about racism kinda guy, I'm a 24yr old white guy and i found the stereotypical cliché's in this movie were abominable, the first competition was composed of pretty much a black versus white base, the African American girl being portrayed as slack jawed smack-talkers and the white girls portrayed as up-tight snob's. i don't think I've seen such a blatant ethnic based cliché since the blackbird trio from dumbo also its about boxing? the lead character even for a Disney movie frustrated me with simply how weak he seemed throughout the entire movie,. this is defiantly the reason i should avoid waking up and sticking channel5 on in the morning.
