Review of Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars (2010) by Ben C — 17 Mar 2012

I seek out family-friendly entertainment, and Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs) usually fall into that category. However, the main problem with almost every DCOM is that, though they're usually at least watchable once, they're not good enough to watch again and again.

Only a very scant few Disney Channel telefilms DON'T fall into that category, and one of those few is "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars". I know many of you hardened cinephiles would scoff at the thought of ever watching a DCOM, but Jennifer Stone is a wonderful leading lady, the rest of the cast also does remarkably well, and the story will draw you in and not let you go until the closing credits.

Even better is the complete lack of offensive content; no profanity, no violence, no sexual content save for briefly seeing a guy shirtless, no drug or alcohol use, etc. Even if you're not a fan of previous Disney telefilms, you should still check this one out.

"Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars" made me a big fan of Jennifer Stone, so much so that she is only second to Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice as my favorite celebrity. So, to sum it up in five words: You NEED to see this!
