'Everything You Want'
(Shiri Appleby, Nick Zano, et al / DVD / PG / (2005) 2006 / BVHE)
Overview: It was at a very young age that Abby (Appleby) found herself experimenting with the gift of art while she practically grew up with her aunt while her parents would travel the world without her. Years later she's living with her friend and co-worker Jessica (Holden) and has the perfect boyfriend, Sy (Seale), who doesn't mind seeing romantic comedies, posing for her artwork, and playing in the snow. But suddenly Abby begins tutoring Jessica's cousin, Quinn (Zano), about the world of art and while doing so finds herself torn between what real love is. Can she choose between the perfect boyfriend of her dreams and the fun-loving boy from her humanities class?
DVD Verdict: First of all, I have to admit that I like romantic comedies. I really liked this film. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I related to this movie, and the characters reminded me of not only people I know, but also a bit of myself. Granted, I wouldn't go as far as Abby does in the show, but I think her situation can be extended to the way we all have unrealistic ideals of life, and how important it is to do the best we can while dealing with the situations we face in real life. I thought the acting was good and the music was great. I'm excited to add the DVD to my library. PLus, in general I love the Disney Channel and Family Channel original movies because they're sweet and innocent movies that still entertain. This is a cute and fun romantic movie for all ages. It's one of the best Family Channel originals I've seen in a while. Now they just need to release "This Time Around" and I'll be even happier!
