 | | 16. Secret Life of the American Teenager-2nd Season coming soon! | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2009 |  | The Secret Life of the American Teenager - Season Two - DVD Review By: The Other Chad - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/23/2009 10:20 AM | | The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Season Two is now available on DVD, and the show remains a watchable mess. While it tackles weighty issues such as teen pregnancy, promiscuity, divorce, and child abuse, there is such a hefty dose of broad comedy mixed in that sometimes the balance is uncomfortable. Just as in the first season, the acting from the very large ensemble cast is still wildly uneven. Additionally, the writing leaves something to be desired, with undeveloped themes resulting in lost potential. Even so, every now and then, a moment of poignancy arises. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Donnie Darko | | | Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal Jena Malone Director: Richard Kelly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/13/2007 |  | Donnie Darko - DVD Review By: Annette Cardwell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
Donnie Darko is a writer-director’s debut that takes on schizophrenia, time travel, teenage angst, dysfunctional suburban family life, societal farce, and hallucinations of an evil bunny in a gorgeously filmed two-hour package deserves serious props. But Richard Kelly’s fascinating film is seriously flawed in that it never brings all these disparate elements together in the end. Not to mention that it bears the worst title of the year. read the full review | |

 | | 27. High School Musical 2 | | | Starring: Ashley Tisdale Corbin Bleu Director: Kenny Ortega | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/11/2009 |  | High School Musical 2: Extended Edition - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/15/2007 1:36 PM | | The plot is really just a vehicle to get to the energetic, non-threatening youngsters out on the dance floor! Not just the dance floor, but the pool, baseball diamond, kitchen, classrooms and anywhere else they can break into song. Director Kenny Ortega keeps the toe-tapping, finger snapping, Radio Disney-ish production numbers both quick and fresh. "I Don't Dance," "What Time is It'" and "Work This Out" will make even a cynical member of the household stop for a few minutes to watch and listen. read the full review | |

 | | 30. 17 Again | | | Starring: Zac Efron Matthew Perry Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/11/2009 |  | 17 Again - DVD Review By: Blake French - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/31/2009 7:48 PM | |
Zac Efron takes a lot of heat for singing high-pitched tunes and prancing around on basketball courts in the High School Musical movies, but in 17 Again he finally gets to prove that he's more than Disney's poster boy. Here, he plays Mike O'Donnell, a 17-year-old high school senior with a basketball scholarship on the horizon (not exactly a stretch for the actor). When he discovers that his girlfriend, Scarlett, is pregnant, he finds himself having to choose between marrying her and pursuing college athletics. He chooses the girl.

 | | 34. High School Musical (Encore Edition) | | | Starring: Alyson Reed Corbin Bleu Director: Kenny Ortega | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | High School Musical - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/24/2006 7:28 PM | | What began as (I'm guessing) a made-for-the-Disney-Channel TV movie is now a DVD, perfect for those Sweet Sixteens and slumber parties where pink-clad thespians can ask who's cuter: Vanessa or Ashley, or whether Vanessa and Zac are right for each other, or who on the basketball team is the absolute dreamiest. read the full review | |
