On May 24th, the Disney Channel’s hit music-filled movie, Lemonade Mouth: Extended Edition, debuted on DVD and Digital Copy.  Be heard.  Be strong.  Be proud.  Disney invites audiences of all ages to turn up the music and have some fun with the highly-anticipated 2-Disc DVD + Digital Copy debut of Lemonade Mouth, the hit Disney Channel Original Movie, starring Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko, Naomi Scott, Blake Michael, Nick Roux, Chris Brochu, Tisha Campbell-Martin and Christopher McDonald.  The DVD also features an exclusive extended music scene that fans can only get on this Extended Edition DVD release.

In addition to featuring 10 awesome original songs from the No. 1 soundtrack, the exciting Lemonade Mouth: Extended Edition DVD release includes an exclusive extended performance of “Livin’ on a High Wire” and an exciting “Rock-Along” version of the movie that allows fans to sing along, with lyrics to all the songs, appearing on-screen.  Both features are available only on the DVD that debuted in the US on May 24th, 2011.

Lemonade Mouth is a resonant, music-filled movie about five teens who break through to become the voice of their generation.  The movie is 2011’s No. 1 cable movie in Total Viewers and the No. 1 TV movie among Kids 6-11 and Tweens.  Additionally, Lemonade Mouth’s original soundtrack also has become a huge success, ranking in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 for two weeks, No. 1 on the iTunes Soundtrack chart and No. 4 on the iTunes Album chart.  The album also ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s Soundtrack and Children’s Music charts.  Moreover, hit songs “Somebody,” “Determinate” and “Don’t Ya Wish U Were Us” rank in the Radio Disney Top 30.

SYNOPSIS

This spirited, music-driven movie introduces an unlikely ensemble of five students – Olivia, Wen, Stella, Mohini and Charlie – who, after meeting in detention, gradually realize their shared musical connection and belief that it’s time for the students of Mesa High to stand up and be heard on things big and small (ranging from the school Principal’s exclusive support of the athletic programs to the removal of the popular organic lemonade from the cafeteria).  Ultimately, as they open up to each other and form friendships, they start a band – Lemonade Mouth – that soon resonates with students sidelined by the high school elite.  However, not everyone in the school is ready to cheer them on, especially since the popular rock group Mudslide Crush is determined to maintain their headline status and win the coveted Rising Star music competition.

Based on the book Lemonade Mouth by Mark Peter Hughes and directed by award-winning Patricia Riggen (La Misma Luna aka Under the Same Moon), executive-produced by Debra Martin Chase (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Disney Channel’s “The Cheetah Girls” movies), co-produced by Gaylyn Fraiche (Just Wright, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2) and choreographed by Chris Scott (TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance”).

MY THOUGHTS

This is a fun and music-filled DVD!  I am so glad I had the opportunity to review Lemonade Mouth: Extended Version on The Mommy-Files!  I love the music throughout the movie and look forward to the next DVD that comes out.  I also enjoyed the exclusive extended performance of “Livin’ on a High Wire.”  This really is a talented cast!  A big thanks goes to Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment for making this review opportunity on The Mommy-Files possible.
