Leave your thoughts about An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars.
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenSweet, inspiring tale about a girl reaching for her dreams. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathNot nearly as good as previous American Girl films, because without a historical context to divert the writers and director, all that's left is to focus on cheesy feel-good warmth and a formulaic plot. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrThere's a lot of cliches, corny lines and pink colors. But as an alternative to the standard girls-centric Disney Channel programs, you could do worse |
| User ReviewJessica CIf you have a little girl this movie is a must! They stay true to the American Girl of 2012 books about a girl that loves gymnastics but struggles in school. With the help of a tutor she overcomes more then she thought she could. Its a fun family movie the whole family can enjoy. |
| User ReviewJennifer BEvery little girl should see this movie. I love the fact one of the main characters has a disability, she is confined to a wheelchair. The movie is very well done and encourages girls to be all they can be despite obstacles that life eventually brings to all of us. |
| User ReviewGlenn Bgreat story and an inspiration to all young girls and everyone else to be their best. |
