Degrassi Goes Hollywood.

I was really excited for this movie. I know how cheesy this show is, but that is the great part about it. When i found out who was staring in it, i was evenmore excited. Ellie, Manny, Paige, Marco and even Craig ,are what started this show again.

The whole premise of the movie, is Jason Mewes is making a movie about his life. Peter, Sav, and Danny hire Jay to take them to L.A. Mia tags along, and Manny ends up coming along after she blows her original audition.Paige gets the audition and the part by luck and not by talent. She invites Marco and Ellie to L.A. Ellie goes only to get away from her dad who just returned from Iraq. She then runs into Craig, and feelings start to come back.

The Highlights of the movie:
1. Paige turns in into a bitch(or back to one, because thats how she started in this show) She ends up not caring about her friends and just wanting to be famous for anything. In the end she does sometihng right by helping out Manny but before she did that she had a huge fight with Marco. She slapped Marco and he isn't going to forgive her, at least not in the movie.


2. Marco basically is the peace keeper in this movie, he is trying super hard to help out Ellie, with regards to her dad ,and keeping her away from Craig. Meanwhile, he is trying to help Paige not be such a bitch.

3.Mannie apparently is hooking up with a drama teacher,and he turns out to be a complete jerk. Unfortunetly, she doesn't realize this till after she blows her audition for the Jason Mewes movie. Throughout the trip to L.A she struggles with if she is good enough, and whether or not she can actually do it. Jay helps herget throughit. Anyways in the end she ends up getting the part by singing on a bus with the band. The best part is when she and Jay kiss and make up for the past.

4.Ellie was running to L.A because of her dad. She ends up running into Craig and they have an instant connection once again. She spends this awesome time with him, only to find out he has a girlfriend. NOt only is Craig off drugs, but he has a great gig gonig on, and his girlfriend is a model. Ellie dealing with that and her dad gets drunk, and takes off into the ocean. She can't swim, but Craig and Marco end up finding her before anything happens. In the end, she decides to leave and go back to face her dad and mother who has been calling non stop. At the airport she says goodbye to craig and while they are walking away from eachother, they both turn around and run towards eachother and kiss. Its romantic yet sad because right now they know it is not the right time for them. Who knows if it will ever be? But the sparks between them is undeniable, and the way he looks at her is crazy.

As cheesy as this movie was any Degrassi fan will love it. The cameos of Perez Hilton, Pete wentz and Dan from the Aftershow where great. Degrassi comes back with some new characters, some new drama ,and some old ,on October 4rth. Loooooves it!

i'm sorry, but i can't honestly agree with your statement "any degrassi fan will love it."
i mean, yes, i loved seeing all the old group back on the screen, but it was hardly the same people.
Paige wasn't the bitch during the show they portrayed her to be in the movie. at ALL. especially to her best friends marco and ellie. she's grown an incredible amount since the early seasons of TNG. any fan who's realized this should be extremely upset with this movie.
as should any paige/marco fans in general. their last performance together the writers leave us believing that marco and paige arent talking? unbelievable.
i agree with the good cameos by wentz, perez and smith though. they were some of the highlights. also, jason mewes got hotter.
but really? no degrassi fan should be happy with this movie.
