How To Train Your High School Band | Lemonade Mouth 

Stella really made me go "Question authority? More like question my sexuality."

God i never realized how horrifically depressing olivias life is. This poor girl bro, lemonade seems like her coping mechanism😭

It’s so weird how Stella FEELS like she would be the main character, Mo has the most plot, but Olivia is the narrator, and in theory should be the main character

Fun fact: The scene where Wendell finds out his homework was his dad's girlfriend's photography homework was changed from the book, where in the book... the photography homework was nude pictures.

also something that i like about the book is that it begins with stella having a really low self esteem and just believing she's not smart specially in comparison to her brothers, and then in the end she discovers she has adhd and learns to accept herself. i think it was a nice plot line and it would've made sense to give her character something to do in the movie. also as someone with adhd i would've just liked to see it in a disney channel movie

This movie was literally my childhood, also my favorite part is when olivia and wen are at Olivia’s house and then wen just stops and looks at her cat and says “wow that is a really old cat” and then she starts crying and she tells him how it was her dead moms, and then it’s cuts back to when and he’s like “and that’s the moment he knew, he fucked up”

I will not tolerate any slander towards the principal of this school. He rides a segway. Therefore your arguments are immediately invalid. He also, like a responsible figure of authority, wears a helmet.

Only reason Mo and Charlie didn't end up together is because Charlie's actor was 13 while filming the movie and they legally couldn't make them kiss.

Okay, you said that it is stupid to protest the lemonade removal, but that is pretty much how highschoolers act. In middle school, my friends and I would RIOT every single time something mildly inconvenienced us.

There’s actually a theory where the Lemonade from the machine is super expired and everything is a movie is a hallucination. However, I choose to believe that there’s drugs in the lemonade because that’s more fun to believe.

I JUST realized that principal brenagan saying that he was a rebel in high school is definitely a reference to him playing Goose in Grease 2

the duet that wen and olivia were singing literally WAS determinate 😭

I genuinely thought that the plot was going to be that there was something in the lemonade that made them sound good, and that's why the lemonade machine being removed was such a big deal

I thought Stella *was* the main character,,, guess I remembered incorrectly bc she had too much main character energy

I’m still wondering how these kids managed to drink lemonade from what looks like an old ,unrefrigerated, vending machine and not get some form of food poisoning. Also im still confused on how them forming a band funds the school better especially since after a while it becomes a separate entity, the school could easily say "tf does that have to do with me lol" and keep not funding the music programs 💀

lemonade mouth is my favorite punk rock band

I never realized how much focus was on Mo until you pointed it out and I’ve watched lemonade mouth many times💀

at my summer program when I was a kid they would force us to watch this movie every day and if we were bad they would rewind it and force us to rewatch the entire thing

I know it is a joke, but people would totally listen to a band talking about how great they are. Like, people listen to rappers saying they're the best in the game and they make stupid money, so it's not a total stretch to think that

You used gaslighting wrong, and you're insane if you trust that definition

Mel was there at the end because he was college buddies with Wen's dad, not that it makes it less stupid lol

why did wen hold that kitten like a hotdog

they actually did change a lot from the book to the movie, like, where the movie ends is like the middle of the book (i'm sorry if this sentence is confusing, english isn't my first language but i hope you could understand it). it's a nice book, i'd recommend it to people who like the movie

mo having this much of the plot is hilarious bc i literally did not remember her being part of the group, all these years i thought it was a 5 piece band

You should read the book! Disney Channel kinda went through a phase where they adapted books and just changed the plot just to subvert expectations, even though it actually destroys the story (see Avalon High), and that sort of applies to this movie as well. I mean, some things were changed or omitted because the book is YA, actually, and it goes a little deeper into things, but they also changed the whole love triangle situation completely, just because they knew it would have been predictable if Mo broke up with Scott for good and ended up with Charlie. And like, I'm pretty sure that's what happens in the book.

Fun Fact! According to one of the cast members, the lemonade used in the movie was Country Time lemonade mix. 7 scoops of the powder mix it in *one can.* personally i prefer the country time pink lemonade , its one of my favorites

Fun fact: the principal is played by Christopher McDonald, who not only played Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore, but also played Goose McKenzie in Grease 2 (yes, that’s a thing, and he’s one of the T-Birds). He’s also in Flubber, SLC Punk, The Iron Giant, Requiem for a Dream, Spy Kids 2 (as the president), an Ultraman Zero English dub, and We Can Be Heroes. So uh, he’s been in several different things

As a Lemonade Mouth fan this video is just good point after good point. Also everyone should listen to Hayley Kiyoko because that stuff straight up slaps

I always put Determinate on when cleaning. Am I fighting and demanding what I deserve? Well, I'm fighting germs and I also deserve a clean home, so I'm kinda doing as the song says.

maybe they could have shown that anxiety girl gets comfort from lemonade bc of history or happy moments or beloved family member who supports her has lemonade to do with it. and then show that lemonade doesnt cure her anxiety but it helps calms her nerves a little to give her a little courage to help with stage fright

Also fun fact, the actor who plays Principal Brenigan also plays the president in Spy Kids 2. We love a crossover episode!

the fact that hayley hates lemonade makes this movie funnier😭😭

you’re so right about Determinate tbh. also i laughed so hard at “how much lemonade does this girl drink?”

The funniest joke in the movie is when they are trying to come up with a band name the Wen says he has one then flips through is notebook for a minute and goes “Wen”

me being 17 with a 28 year old stepmom and a 41 year old dad 🥱

I used to love the movie but reading the book made me realize how neutered the original story was. It was way more rich and organic, and more understandable in why Lemonade Mouth was propelled into popularity so quickly. Their unorthodox instruments (which makes it more believable that they randomly came together than just happening to have all the pieces of a traditional band fall into place) and brand of music made them stand out from the rest. I get avoiding the more the more sexual parts but I would love to hear the music I read in the book. I headcanon the lemonade has some magical properties that gives them a physic link in the movie for some of those unbelievable parts.

The Nintendo sound effects combined with your humor is so perfect thank you for being on RU-vid 😭

not to say i know more about the characters than the writers but i feel like it would've made more scene if charlie got his injury bc of the pressure he felt from his parents to be like his brother, but this would also require them developing him as more than the crush he had on mo, so they clearly weren't going to let that happen.

I always felt like this movie was Naomi Scott’s audition tape for Aladdin

"white people kerfuffle" is now going into my daily vocabulary

i was just writing my commentary along watching the video, cuz i always end up having too many thoughts on lemonade mouth over here, and it literally turned into a "yeah well in the book" rant, i am an insane person and this movie has no right holding this much power over me still. anyway, commentary afoot: 1:09 i am one of the four people who read it, that and the sequel. the changes are mostly all to make the movie appropriate for disney channel, so while it doesn't alter too much, it's like the book answers questions the movie makes you ask. and the big change is obviously the mo and charlie ending, ie they are together in the book. 2:32 haley kiyoko can't help but make all her characters gay, it's simply in her blood, and we thank her for it. velma in scooby doo? gay. stevie in wizards of waverly place? super gay. it's like when eliott page used to play straight women and the gays were like okay no one believes you,nice try. 3:23 i know it's the bit but her dad is not a conservative muslim haha, they're hindu. it's still no better, especially since it was written by a white man, like okay sir, thank you for more of that. 4:48 it was during class, she skippe dit to read, but the point remains 8:02 this bugs me every rewatch, in the book she just wrote them notes and slipped them in their bags/lockers when they weren't looking, like she doesn't have their numbers!!! cue the alex meyers jingle *disney channel movies, they don't always make sense* 10:28 wow, he just like me fr 15:42 well, he did kill somone but the lemonade thing is better lmao 21:46 i knew the joke was building there and it was so satisfying lmao 23:41 i didn't know that was the reason! there is a whole ass second book! granted it would not work with the canon of the movie, and it was written after, so i guess, but feel that i, as an 11 year old at the time, could've cooked them up a sequel pretty easily 24:33 i have to agree on that, having 5 leads makes it almost impossible to develop all of them properly, especially in a 90 min movie. none of the relationships feel fleshed out, and some characters get way more screen-time than others. in the book you at least get their inner monologue so you know what's up with them, plus they have other friends outside the band, so you get to see different sides to them, and since you don't have to film anything, you can say things like wen and stella hung out all day, you can't really show that naturally in the movie. like i think they're friends, but i have 2 books of development in my brain that the movie doesn't. 25:58 like charlie getting literally no character. the fact that they changed his ending with mo kinda kills half his story already. and the other big interesting thing about him (because his personality is pretty chill, he is a go with the flow kind of person, he doesn't have much going on) is that his brother was a dead twin that he talked to in his head. so not really something you can translate to a kids movie easily. so he got nothing. and mo got everything. which to be fair hers and wen's arcs are the ones that feel the most like they have a natural story progression, so i understand, but it was messy indeed. 25:10 yeah i have always been confused by the redemption of scott, it's pretty rare for the asshole bf to get a second chance in anything ever. and especially since mo and him don't get back together in the book. like maybe they just liked the actor?? he gets more of a redemption in the sequel, he gets a gf that helps him see the error of his ways, and moe and charlie are chill with him, it's basically just wen who's mad at him for what he did to mo? very weird 26:51 it might've been a weird fit but i wish they kept the story from the book where stella got the results of an IQ test that made her think she was stupid and basically motivated her to make the band succeed to prove she was worth something. cuz they literally keep the line in the group vent where she says she thinks she's too stupid for her family, but they don't give the context that her family are all literal geniuses and she's average. oh and in the end turns out she just had a learning diability. great video as always, just slay after slay

I'm pretty sure olivia's dad actually IS in prison for manslaughter

HiKei: *labels Olivia White as "White" for her "intro"* Also HiKei: why is Olivia obsessed with lemonade??? Me: 👀👀👀👀 I hadn't watched this DCOM (by the time it came out, I was graduating high school and already in my "I'm too good for DCOMs" phase, but was I really?), but honestly, looks like one I would have enjoyed. I'll have to check out the songs! Thanks for another fun review!

charlie was done SO DIRTY with lack of screen time! he was hot drummer boi and i stan

as a kid, i always liked how charlie didn't end up with Mohini bc I thought it was "realism" I thought it was cool that for once, a character isn't automatically given their crush by the end of the movie

I really enjoy your breakdowns of these movies. Your personality and humour are fantastic for this format. I really hope you get more subs, your content is wayyy to good for you to be this small! Keep up the good vibes!

As someone whose school also put all the art and non core classes in the basement, I was partly obligated to like this movie as a teen

The thing with Lemonade Mouth is that it's a literal adaptation of a book so coming up with a sequel from the book they already did kinda makes sense.

The school district I was in had a deal with Pepsi so the only drinks we could legally sell both in vending machines and at concession stands were PepsiCola products... but only diet because Michelle said.

I remember in second grade our teacher showed us this movie while giving us lemonade.

I remember when this movie came out. I liked it and at first was surprised and disappointed it didn't get a sequel. Then I saw the Wikipedia explanation years ago and I get it. Yeah, as much as I would have liked seeing them all again like this, they really DID wrap up everything there was to here. Unless they wanted to expand it OUT of their HS like what happened with High School Musical 2. Mo as the main character at one point....this could have been the Spin of the 2010s (Another DCOM that came out a couple years ago but the Indian girl there IS the main character.) But yeah, for it to have worked, they'd have needed to do more with her character than they did. AND make her storylines cohesive and workable. Stella as the main character ALSO could have worked, but like with Mo, more needs to be done.

Wow I did not remember the entire second half of this movie. Great review, your explanation is really entertaining and I like seeing your opinions on different aspects of the movie.

This movie was the peak of my childhood. Can't wait to see the chaos you morph it into

11:08 The duet they sing actually is determinate, its the beginning portion of the song

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO LEMONADE MOUTH VIDEO REVIEW

Lemonade Mouth, Sweet or Sour? It's a lot more memorable and after this video, I think it still holds up Stella had me acting up back in the day

u have the most vibey and cozy looking bedroom that i have ever seen a man have

3:11 “not avan jogia” is so foul 😭😭

who is gonna tell him the guy who played wen just got out of prison

Lemonade mouth music is the best music change my mind

Mel was old college buddies with Wen's dad, that's why he was at the wedding.

Why did I only just NOW get recommended your content, your humor is impeccable and I LOVE movie reviews!! Subbed and I will binge the rest of your reviews right now

Hey! I just watched a few of your videos and they’re REALLY. Entertaining. I usually stay in my circle of RU-vidrs that i watch but it was a pleasure finding someone new! I like the way you space out your videos, your jokes made me laugh a good handful of times and I like your voice😎 hope to see more from you soon!!!!

as a kid i genuinely thought they were just drinking mikes

Could you make a video about Let It Shine? It is my absolute favorite Disney movie

Lemonade mouth, Cheetah Girls and Let it shine are my favorite musical Dcom and I always wanted the movie to have a sequel

Lol I’m glad I found your channel! You’re so funny!! 😭😭

i had to stop the video, go watch determinate, then came back

tbf stellas protesting is pretty standard for a high school rebellious teenager

she’s so gone is a fucking banger

i saw your zombies video and im obbessed with ur videos now ‼️

The point of this movie is, if you are down, it makes you warm and fuzzy.

i just came across your channel and it gave me WHIPLASH hearing botw sound effects in a video not related to zelda at all but it was such a nice touch i am HAPPY and subscribing!!

i discovered ur channel today from ur emoji movie video, saw this video and immediately clicked bc lemonade mouth is my fav dcom, and then u compared charlie to haru p5. im sold! u r the youtuber ever

this movie was so gd formative for my brain, stella is the reason i'm such a political FOOOOOL

Naomi Scott having more plot than the other stars of the band? Disney KNEW that they would make her a big star once everyone else left the company. At least Bridgit Mendler became an official Doctor. Ms. Scott became a Sultan & a Power Ranger.

another banger released so close to me subscribing hell yeah😎 that joke about lemonade based classic conditioning almost made me spit out my drink… and yes it WAS lemonade😳😳

25:04 apparently in the book Charlie and Mo get together, but not in the movie because the guy playing Charlie is 15. Edit: which I find weird because if you've seen starstruck Sterling Knight is in his mid 20s and the girl is like 15 or 16. Same with Another Cinderella Story... Maybe the actress spoke against it and asked for the change because it would be weird... Which makes me question some things about Drew and Sterling.

I’ve been binge watching your videos because they’re funny man, I love these so much

This movie fundamentally changed my life

The Splatoon salmon run music always gives me flashbacks

The most surprising part of lemonade mouth was that Disney had the restraint to not milk out a sequel

I was not expecting to hear the salmon run music during this video

Two things #1 the ‘found a new item Breath of the Wild’ sound takes my brain to a very specific place I can’t focus on this movie from lol #2 still watching but hoping u look up how dude who played Wen went to prison in real life, got out, then back working on his rap career

PRINCIPAL BRANNIGAN AS RADIO REBEL HELPPP

this video is so good lmao im surprised you don't have way more subscribers,, looking forward to future vids !! :)

i LOVE the botw music and sound effects u use. always gives me nostalgia and it’s relaxing

i have a cat plushie thing like that but its eyes are open and the spot on the top is slightly different not related whatsoever to the video but i just found it interesting

I don't know who you are. But this is early similar to conversations I have at college. Pretty good video. I feel like subscribing to you because you feel like you are not trying super hard to be deep or an intellectual. I mean, you do say some pretty smart stuff mostly because of your area of study/work. But you are just relaxing and not letting your ego and opinions overtake it. Reminds me of Friendly Space Ninja. I do hope you succeed and I'm looking foward to see what you have to offer from now on. Much love ❤

First video I’ve seen and I gotta subscribe. Such a good commentator

Great video! It's like you read my mind, I was totally thinking that you should review Radio Rebel midway through this. I'd love to see 16 Wishes as well

This is the exact opposite of how money flows in schools. The sports programs are the ones who MAKE money. Money is then taken from the sports teams to go toward arts and sciences. This is why sports often have such a high budget - Because they are where the money comes from in the first place.

Two fun facts: Fact one: this movie was filmed in my home city Albuquerque New Mexico Fact two: my grandma helped with some of the clothes on the movie

Yes yes it was good thanks for asking

I found you through your Emoji movie video and damn dude, you are so fucking funny

ur so underrated fr like ur literally so funny ☠️☠️ btw love the persona music

i have the same nathan cat squishmallow that u have and when i saw it i got so unreasonably excited over it

What if the letter that Olivia sends her dad at the end just gets confiscated by the prison because her dad did some shit so fucking inhumane he’s not allowed outside contact?💀Nahhh she’d go right back to the Lemonade addiction

Finally early to a video, haven’t finished but it’s looks good!

When I was little my friend was explaining the plot of the movie to me and my dumbass brain thought that the lemonade was magic and gave them the power to sing
