ashley tisdale plays the girl next door

Posted June 11, 2008

Ashley Tisdale's so good at playing the "It" girl with a jealous streak. In "High School Musical" she's Sharpay Evans, the Barbie-perfect blonde who's envious of shy bookworm Gabriella. In "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," she plays all-American Maddie Fitzpatrick, who's always competing with her best friend, London Tipton. Even as an animated character, she's a spoiled kid sister who's always trying to get "Phineas and Ferb" in trouble.

But in "Picture This," Ashley's doing something a little different. Here's what she told the MTV website about playing Mandy: "I love the character, because it's so different than any of the other characters I've played so far ... . [S]he's not popular. She's kind of like the girl next door. She doesn't really know how to put herself together."

What do you think of Ashley as the not-so-hot girl next door -- is she believable ... or not?

if i was in the movie and drew started the shower i would go in it with him caz he is soooooo hot and sexy. but if he really liked me he would not start it. y did mandy leave she didnt know he was even though she heard water running she should have trusted him enough to know tht he would not do it. drew is soo hot and when he got out of the pool he was all wet and sexy OMG i love Robbie Amell he is so hot, sexy, and adorable

okay seriously partents stop freaking out. if u think this is a bad movie for children to be watching, then y are u letting them watch it? Also abc family plays Mean Girls aswell and that movie is a WAY worse influence than Picture This. I will agree with some of you tho that it went too fast. I wish they could explain a little more after the whole tower thing and show some school days and have signs about prom all over the school and stuff like that. And how did Mandy's friend know that the mean girl was gonna puke? I mean thats just a little wierd. Also i think they should have shown a few more days of school in the beginning so that you could see how bad her life was, instead of just one day and shes the cool girl that the most popular guy likes. It was a little strange and the story should have been a little better but all in all i thought it was pretty good. And i think they might make a sequal so hopefully that will be better. AND hopefully there will be a conflict betweeen the loves just like in HSM.

I agree with the parents who did not like the targeting of this movie. By the commercials it seemed like this movie was geared towards the pre-teen and teen age market, but there were things in this movie that no 12 year old should be watching. Plus, it sent a wrong message that the main character would still date a boy such as the main one in the movie...a boy who used terms like "hump and dump" when talking about a girl. That's disgusting. Although, I shouldn't be suprised since this network also airs theater movies that are not "family" viewing either.

OMG!!!!! I loved this movie I could watch it over and over again I loved it!!!! Robbie Amell is so HOT!!!! But the ending wasnt that great. I hope there is a 2nd one! I want that phone That Mandy has it is so cool! Does anyone know whats it called? K im done talking now!

i think she is very belivble in this movie it was really great movie and she played the role perfectly!=] When you watch celebs in all kinds of movies or shows you just have to like block those out and think of the character they are in the movie or show you are watching.

i just realized that this movie is just a derivative of Cinderella (ya know, the one with hilary duff). ugh!~ Ashley, I hope you learned a lot from this experience and grow from it. We expect great things from you. No matter how harsh, we critics are. More power to you.

onlysignedup2blog

I just want to point out a couple of story line blunders here: 1. There was no challenge whatsoever in their love story. Girl is hopelessly in love with guy and guy feels exactly the same. End of story. Where's the conflict?! 2. I guess Disney is really trying to tackle major teen story lines now, especially since "The Secret Life of a Teenager" received its green light from the head mouse. The writers decided to showcase, reckless driving, sex, and alcohol as part of this movie's rather thin story line. 3. Thirdly, I agree with everybody about the ending, when it seemed like our heroine was doing the right thing in the end, the writers decided to pull the rug from under us. I was remembering the final father-daughter scene and noticed that there were only 4 minutes left and I thought to myself: how the heck are they going to wrap this up? Sure enough, girl ends up with boy. Big surprise! I was really disappointed in this movie and I was really beginning to prefer Ashley over Vanessa Hudgens. But I guess, Ashley's just gonna have to play second fiddle to Vanessa again. So sorry.

I learned a valuable lesson tonight, that being give Tivo a 30 minute headstart before starting to watch. The previews vs what was delivered were polar opposites thankfully we had turned it off before the deflowering remarks (that would have been fun explaining to a 7 yo) I had no idea it was TV 14 and just assummed it would be typical Tisdale/Disney, man was I wrong. Inappropriate material aside the movie seemed to drag and then the editors discovered oops times up gotta rap it up and just like that it was over. I'm just glad this was on TV and not a movie where it would have been a bigger deal turning it off. Shame on you ABC you really missed the mark on this one!!

ok so i agree with some of u that this wasn't the greatest movie...but i mean come on! all u parents need to just chill about the content in the movie! Ur kids r gonna find out about all this stuff sooner or later...and would u rather them find out from u or from some other kid at school? If u don't want ur kid to watch it then don't let them...its not that big a deal! And I can tell u that a lot of that stuff that goes on in the movie doesn't really happen like that in real life...i mean some teens r gonna do some of that stuff and some guys r pigs and will do something like the tower thing and some girls are gonna be snobby like that...but news flash parents...ur kids r gonna go thru all this one day so why not get over it! besides...there r much worse things they could be watching by themselves and u not know about it!

so this movie was doing really well until the ending, you don't know if drew actually intended to do that in the "tower" he could just really like her but we don't know and what happened between then and prom? i think they needed to put more focus on that oh yea and random witchcraft? but the beginning was good all up until the end of the party scene. oh yea and the phone they are using in the movie is a verizon phone (someone asked below) i have it:)

alright i was very very excited for this movie! veryy! but i just watched it and it sucks! its prolly up there with the worst movies ive ever seen in my life. the whole time they never mentioned one word about prom and what prom king gets to pick the queen that is sexist cuz why doesnt the queen get to pick the king. and that whole thing with the dad seeing the clock . what videos are clear enough to see the clock in the back of a dark club. the whole movie was just ridiculous

I'm so mad at ABC Family. This show is not appropriate for preteens - although they seem to market to that age! We're banning ABC Family from our home. This channel is complete trash airing programs targeting our young kids!

4 all the parents and adults who don't want their kids watching the movie, they aid a bunch of imes that t was tv 14 andit is on the top left han corner of the screen. maybe u should have done little moe research on the movie. and the whole secret life series, is very big with a lot of teens right now. its very educational and its not wrong to show teens wat can happen. we all heard this stuff wen we were in high school and your kids will too. its NOT Ashley's fault. she didn't write the movie.we ALLL wanted to be a smebody. And we would do watevr it takes. AND if u id't like yr kids watchng it then tell them that they can't watch it. if they cry, they cry, if they get mad, they get mad.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I am watching this with my 9 and 6 year old. I cannot believe they had to add the deflowering thing. And even the birth of the baby! I am so upset. I wish the tv14 rating was more obvious. we are at the end now, and I am holding the control so that I can "accidentally" change the channel.I really hope High School Musical will be as fun as the others, and not as disappointing as this one. It really hasn't even been that interesting for me. And I am a big ONE TREE HILL fan. And really miss my Dawson's Creek!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR THE ABC FAMILY CHANNEL TO SHOW THIS R RATED MOVIE!! I am so upset I am going to write the Board of ABC. How can you show this GARBAGE at 7 pm. Lying to your parents Pit bull With Boobs Deflowering Alcoholic beverages Holy crap way to suggestive clothing Bouncing babes This show is absurd. Get some talent in house and show some family oriented programs. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

I am very upset that this movie was geared to older teens, but advertised for family. Even though the rating was listed as 14, all my kids were excited to watch this since the commercials looked cute and funny. Imagine our surprise when we had to explain "hump and dump" to a 10 year old.

I can not believe that ABC Family presented such a trashy movie as Picture This. Imagine my surprise as a parent sitting watching with my 10 and 12 year olds and orgasims and humping and being deflowered. Who did you think would be watching this movie....18 year olds. Great example Ashley....we will be pulling all of your music and posters from our house. Thanks for being an example to my kids...how sad that you would choose this type of movie to be in. As an elementary school principal, I am horrified to know that 20 of my students were watching this trash and seeing and hearing things that no elementary school or middle school child should be hearing. Why was this advertised as a FAMILY movie....you shoud have shown it at 10:00 PM so we could have had a warning it would be so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from the previews i think it looks really cheesy i saw some people write that it is mimicking other movies and i cant agree more i have seen a lot of movies that seem to have the same basic story line cant these writers come up with anything better then this the only thing that intrigues the viewers are the cast and i think without them it would not get very many good ratings.
