I cant honestly say that this movie is up to the current standard that Director Kenny Ortega has set with High School Musical. The Cheetah Girls 2 opens with a weak display of its title and Disney channel. But the music doesn't seem to click like in the original. Before the music felt like it followed the story but this time it feels they're out of place. They play in the script in a ways that confuses the viewer as to whether the film is a musical or a film with performances by the characters. But where this movie shines in terms of showcasing the music and the vibrant atmosphere of Barcelona Spain. The dance and art and cinematography works well. but unfortunately the story is where this DCOM falls short. The pacing of the screenplay is rushed by the editing of director Kenny Ortega. The original had a pace that moved slowly enough to tell a story that was well written. But the story was a carbon copy of the first with a few more complications. But it's missing some key parts. But all in all the vocals are showcased well by the vocalists and their dance partners. the film is not bad but it's not great either
