Sonny Munroe

I do not want to see this show die on the Disney Channel. I think it's one of the few shows in a good while which could have a good influence on young people... also, it's pretty darn funny!

Recently I found myself in a state of dissolution with the Disney Channel. Whenever I find myself flipping to the channel all I see were increasingly younger and oversexed teens (and even preteens) on shows that feel like they are written by people with the same condition. I am extraordinarily happy that I happened to turn on the television during the shows premier.

I found "Sonny with a Chance" completely refreshing.

The sketch with-in-the-show was immediately funny with ironic camp and legitimate humor--bringing back the simple and funny physical comedy "tween" shows have been lacking these days without feeling forced or dissonant.

I was not surprised to find the producer of the show was also the producer of the sketch show "All That" which aired on Nickelodeon. As has been frequently said, "the best comedy comes from the truth." Thus this show isn't filled with over dramatic prepubescent boys and girls trying to attract the opposite sex with sexist or otherwise offensive pick-up lines. It's a simple comedy that does it's job exceptionally well and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Just as "All That" was an SNL for tweens (which as I recall I found much funnier than SNL at the time), I see "Sonney with a Chance" being the "30 Rock" for the tweens of today (though doubtfully will be better than "30 Rock" at any time.)

I believe all of the actors do still need to find their groove, but that's actually true of every show I've ever seen. At the time of writing this, three episodes have been released. I'd recommend watching at least the first two and hanging on to the show from there to see it improve from what I think is already a show more than "solid."

A note, I have mentioned this as a show for "Tweens" but I, myself, am rapidly approaching my 19th year.

"Camp Rock" and "As The Bell Rings" were the only things I had ever seen Demi Lovato act in and I anxiously awaited the premiere of "Sonny With A Chance." I didn't set any expectations, I didn't want to be disappointed.

I'm going to have to give the BEST ACTRESS award to Tiffany Thornton who plays Tawni. I think she is probably one of the better actors in this series, she has great comic timing and she is very pretty, too. I don't have many complaints about her, if any at all.

And despite a personal love for Demi Lovato's singing and her person in general, I was not particularly fond of her acting. I think she is a wonderful actress but I believe she could be much, much better. She has specific scenes when she is a top notch performer, and others when she really needs help to make it believable. Her character is funny, though, and has a lot of great lines.

As for the character of Grady, played by Doug Brochu, I believe that he is very funny. Brochu is a wonderful actor and has seemingly good timing.

Sterling Knight as Chad Dylan Cooper is also a great actor, but I believe he could do better. I think that the Chad Dylan Cooper character could be written in to be funnier, because the show is a comedy.

The actress who plays Portlyn, Jillian Murray, is very, very funny and I hope she appears in more episodes, although she doesn't play a major role, I believe she is a good addition to the show and to the shows comedy.

Brandon Smith, as Nico, is a good actor and his character is very funny. But I believe he could be better, though. His character is very much a stereotypical Disney guy, same as the guys in Hannah Montana or Cory In The House. He's a guy that kind of gets really obsessive when it comes to girls, a bit obnoxious, if I might add. However, despite that, I think Smith is a great actor and Nico is a good character.

Allisyn Ashley Arm, Zora, is somewhat an obnoxious character. I think she is somewhat unnecessary when it comes to the show in general, but she is still a decent actress. She's somewhat hyperactive which can become very annoying after a while, but her lines are very funny and her delivery is excellent.

The show in general is very funny. It has great lines, along with some decent, yet mediocre, acting. I believe the writing, as well as the acting, could be more sophisticated and it was guided towards the younger crowd, which was something I wasn't expecting considering the actual plot of the show. The rivalry between the two shows, So Random and Mackenzie Falls, is somewhat stereotypical, one that you would see in any other television show when there is a rivalry between shows, and is somewhat predictable. I think the show's writing is very simple and they need to be more complex when they are writing. But it wasn't a bad show. It wasn't the best show in the entire world, but it wasn't horrible, either. I hope that the show evolves more and becomes a bit less predictable and more directed to all audiences, instead of just the younger crowd.

Not everything is funny in it, especially when they play the laughter.

But I laugh here and there, and when it has a good plot, I get excited

to know what's going to happen next. It's actually a really decent show.

Demi Lovato is a good actor, but can over-do it sometimes. It is kind

of cheesy, but it's a good show. One of the best shows on Disney Channel.

At best, 7/10.. It's worth watching and you get attached. I really like it. Chad and Sonny seem cute together, but I just find the character Zora to be really annoying.

i think that this show is one of the best I've seen on Disney in a long time. tiffany or tawni is an amazing character; i love how her and sonny pretend to be enemies but in reality they have become the best of friends, its also thrilling and suspenseful to see what they say next shes a very complicated character but its fun to try and catch up to her. demi is very radiant and exciting in this show, some people say that she could do much much better but i say that she makes her character become herself and not a lot of actors and actresses her age can do that; its a pretty awesome gift to have if you ask me. nicos kind of the kid who gets all the girls in his dreams haha but in reality he tries to get as many as he can but many times does not succeed. gradys kind of refreshing he lightens up the scenes with his personality hes one of those chubby kids that always seems to put a smile on your face. sterling knight aka chad Dylan cooper is my personal favorite and i bet a lot of young teens could relate to him. he's a pretty sensitive guy but since he doesn't want anyone to know the soft side of him he acts like a jerk. he tries to deny that he has feelings for sonny but everyone who watches the show can tell he does. its amazing and a ton of fun to watch this show and watch these young people grow. the only thing that this show could use more of is new episodes maybe a new character or co-star and they need to get chad and sonny together all ready. who ever says this show needs more than it already has obviously has no idea what a good show is about. this is the perfect series for any age. the stiffness of the acting just adds to the excitement. everyone from sonny with a chance, keep on rocking that stage don't let any review tear your show apart; i for one have faith in you they're just bitter :)

Finally, Disney is coming up with more original ideas for their shows, and incorporating better actors. Well, the title is pretty cheesy, Sonny is the main character, so like all Disney shows, it has to be in the title. The reason that i gave this show an 8 is because it comes off as a little rushed. On the first episode Sonny's all "O.M.F.G i can't believe i'm here!!!" but then in the second episode she acts like she's been there for a couple years and got used to it all. But, discarding that, it's a great show, showing that Disney could be fully revived someday. With that said, this show show is a great addition to the franchise. I really hope they continue for a couple more years.
