Ok I get to start this post today. Our post for today is about two movies that came out around the same time, Rags and Let It Shine. Rags is a twist on the Cinderella story where Cinderella is a boy, Charlie Prince to be specific. And instead of prince charming its more like princess who is the famous Kadee Worth the main characters are played by Max Schneider and KeKe Palmer. In Let It Shine it is mistaken identity when Cyrus played by Tyler James Williams enters a talent contest and sends in a photo of him and his better looking friend Chris. When the famous Roxie played by Coco Jones believes its Chris, so he gets all the fame. Bummer.....

Well, my vote goes to Rags. I liked the music better. I still find myself singing "Perfect Harmony" The characters were also easier to like. In Rags, Kadee is a famous person who has values. I liked that even though she did not agree with her father on what music she should sing, she respected his wishes. She also didn't think she was too good to befriend Charlie, the janitor. Roxie from Let it Shine was very superficial. She liked the rap that was sent into her contest. The winning entry photo had two people in it. She assumed it was the guy she found more attractive and immediately declared him the winner without even verification. That alone was stupid and the rest of the film is based on the mix up, which I found highly implausible. Also the rap battles were very weak and Disneyfied. The last rap battle was good though.

Yeah I liked Rags better too, I personally loved the characters in that pre teen way you know the one... any way the music was better, the story line and all that boring stuff the critics say in their reviews that I don't read so yeah.....

DeleteWe haven't written anything in a long time but yes we still get notifications.
ReplyDeleteLol these two movies just poped up in my mind and I remember them being really similar. I watched Let It Shine, though I only watched part of Rags so I can't say which I really liked better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ReplyDeleteYea rags was the superior movie period
ReplyDeleteRoxie Only Picked Chris He Was Better Looking? If You Actually Watched The Movie You Would See He Is Infront Of Cryrus In The Picture THATS Why She Picked Him. And Roxie Was Nice To Both Chris And Cyrus
ReplyDeleteI love both but let it shine will forever be one of my favorite childhood movies. I love the songs and raps. Let it shine is definitely more iconic and i think everyone ages 15-25 have probably watched this growing up.
