(First You get to read the official Press Release of this movie, my review is at the bottom!)

StarStruck, a hit Disney Channel Original Movie, will debut on DVD June 8, 2010 with more movie and music — available in two ways: as a single DVD or a 2 disc set that includes the DVD+ Full Length Soundtrack CD. Each exciting release contains a never-before-seen exclusive extended scene and additional music with eight Rock-Along tracks and three music videos. The 2 disc set includes the DVD, plus the Walt Disney Records CD soundtrack with chart-climbing songs performed by stars Sterling Knight and Brandon Mychal Smith (“Sonny With A Chance”) among others. Both products (the DVD and 2-disc DVD+CD) will be available in stores June 8, 2010 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (WDSHE).

StarStruck, a music and adventure-filled romp that hits all the right notes for kids and tweens, tells the story of Jessica Olson (Danielle Campbell, Prison Break) and her older sister Sara (Maggie Castle, Time Traveler’s Wife), who are heading to Hollywood from Kalamazoo, Michigan, on a family trip to visit their grandmother. Sara is obsessed with pop star Christopher Wilde (Sterling Knight, Sonny with a Chance) and hopes to track him down while in California, but Jessica could care less about the stuck-up star and would rather go sightseeing. When the sisters arrive in L.A. Sara takes Jessica on a hunt to find Christopher and a chance meeting with the star sets off a series of comic adventures that feature many of L.A.’s landmark locations. As the sisters sightsee and spend time together, Jessica gets to know the real Christopher and soon their friendship grows. Ultimately Christopher must decide what is more important — being himself or becoming a movie star. Disney Channel stars Brandon Mychal Smith (Sonny With a Chance) and Chelsea Staub (JONAS) also star as Christopher’s loyal best friend and fame- hungry girlfriend, respectively.

The ‘out of this world’ bonuses featured on the StarStruck: Extended Edition DVD include:
•    Extended version of the movie – only available on DVD
•    More Music with eight Rock-Along tracks to sing-along with!
•    Three Hot Music Videos

StarStruck was #1 in its time slot among kids ages 6-11 and tweens ages 9-14, and was the most watched February original movie premiere in total viewers. StarStruck: The Extended Edition DVD is the only way to get the exclusive content not aired on TV. A modern day Cinderella story, StarStruck promotes strong messages about honesty, humility, self-acceptance, and strength of character.

This movie had everything a tween girl would love. Its aimed at the ages of 6-14. It stars two of the lead characters of the Disney show “Sonny with a Chance”. My oldest wanted nothing to do with it but I let my daughter watch it. Actually she sucked me into watching it with her and you know what? I really enjoyed it! Its cliche though, famous guy gets with not so famous girl etc. But it was cute. Alyssa balked at the kissing scenes but that’s only because she thinks boys have cooties still and she is 7 years old. She really loved the extra footage at the end of the DVD with the music videos, and really loved the music. I would definitely buy this if I had a tween/teen daughter. This was a cute movie!

Disclosure: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment provided me with a DVD/CD set for review purposes, opinions are my own.

Ok so I am guilty of not spending enough time with my family doing an activity. I know there are other moms like me. We just get so busy with our lives that we forget to spend some quality time with eachother! For me that meant I needed an activity and board games came to mind. We didn’t really have any games, we just never got a collection started. Well,  we have a few to play with now!

(yes it took a lot of attempts to catch the ball in the air!)
