Taking 5 (2007), 6-

PG | 1h 30min | Comedy, Family, Music | 28 April 2007

Director: Andrew Waller
Stars: Alona Tal, Daniella Monet, Christy Carlson Romano.

Watched on AmazonPrime.

2 songs in the Soundtracks, neither were performed by the boy band, and they did perform.

A little more substantial than teen fluff, but not much. The characters experience some growth.

Not worth a 2nd look.

IMDb lists this at a Tribeca Film Fest, but no theatrical release in the US.

Rated 5.9 (837)
