(of course) Also this movie mentions so much late 90’s stuff and figures it’s kind of funny when Todd says the music that Alex and his friends listens to is outdated.
#Watch alley cats strike movie how to#
Todd is learning from our main characters how to bowl but yes of course he doesn’t seem responsive to it. I do like how the music contrasts between Todd and the others showing their contrast musically is nice touch. Alex asks I guess us ,the viewers, how will their worlds ever collide? I guess that means their worlds are going to collide. (who is played by the same person who starred in Cousin Skeeter if you remember that show) There’s a trophy called the mighty apple, which there’s a rivalry between two towns called West Appleton and East Appleton (creative). He and his friends go to school (because kids) and the school is dominated by the (let’s see check the checklist oh yes) a jock named Todd McLemore. His Father owns a bowling alley that they get to use to play. Ken likes music from the 1950’s (I am going with 1940’s and 50’s since the movie came out in 2000) Elisa likes 50’s clothes and Alex likes to point out that she’s a good bowler, and Delia is the smart one.
It has a 50’s music theme and our main character is named Alex he is also narrating and telling us who is friends are : Ken, Elisa (played by Kaley Cuoco who you may know from such shows as Brandy and Mr.Whiskers, Eight Simple Rules, and some show about the Big Bang Theory) and Delia. (Well not really) This movie came out in March of 2000, (March 18th) and is called “Alley Cats Strike”.
You know Disney Channel really used to be varied on their movies, they have a movie for almost anything.
The main characters - Kyle Schmid (Alex Thompson) and Robert Ri'chard (Todd McLemore) and basically 90's kids, even if Kyle has such an affinity with the 50's, but the dialogue is stilted at times as they try to make the premise of a bowling match being so important to a town, though as other reviews have said the bowling technique could have done with some work, and did they actually finish the last match?Ī fun, very child friendly film, with a good message and obvious story line.Time to dip into another Disney Channel Original movie, what do we have here this time? (Gets handed a fake tape) Oh a Disney Channel movie about bowling. It took me ten minutes to realise that was Kaley Cuoco - it is two years before 8 Simple Rules - and it was funny that Mimi Paleys first acting credit was playing a young Buffy the Vampire Slayer, considering the roles Cuoco would go onto. The music is of an era, the 50's vibe adds to the relaxed vibe the losers have, while there are no chase scenes, so the camera work is pretty standard point and shoot. The two mayors keep upping the ante over who wins, not helped by West Appletons mayor also being the father of their star player, who's helped them win at pretty much every main stream sport, until East Appleton proposes bowling and he has to team up with the losers - "Only losers bowl," - to win the big prize.Īdd to that, a connection between the Mayor and the bowling alley owner and a gradual change in the lead bowlers (who's also the bowling alley owners son) attitude, it's a standard Disney feel good film that fills all the tick boxes. Each year they have gone up against each other in just about every sport that each has a team for, but for some reason the two schools are going to become one, meaning that this year is the last "Big Apple". Coming two years after the Big Lebowski, four years after Kingpin, this is a kids attempt at cashing in the attraction of bowling.Įast and West Appleton have a long standing sporting rivalry that's gone on for decades.
