Teen Beach 2 (2015)
Like Mack
It was very rare for Disney Channel original movies to get sequels. Movies like Halloweentown And High school musical Helped to change that. A lot more Disney Channel properties are given the opportunity to tell more stories with the same characters now, like with these Tin Beach movie Sequel.
It’s not quite as good as the original, but that’s not the cast’s fault. The movie sees the characters in the movie in the movie transported to the real world in the sequel. Mack and Brady (Ross Lynch) have to show their new friends how to get by in the modern day, which is very different from the 1960s beach musical life they are used to.
Much like the first movie, Mack helps her new female friends realize that they don’t just have to be someone’s love interest or backup singer, but can live their own lives.

Never Go Back (2018)
Like Angela
… a modern-day comedy of errors …
Many of Mitchell’s best roles demonstrate her great comedic abilities. Although this is most often seen in her more family-friendly projects, Never go back It’s also a great showcase for her flair for comedy.
Never go back is in the vein of classic buddy comedies like Desperate and confused. The movie follows Angela (Michelle) and Jesse (Camilla Morron), a pair of best friends who are also waitresses and high school dropouts just looking to have a good time. They want to take a vacation but find everything stacked against them when their roommate uses their share of the rent money in a bad drug deal, their home is broken into, they end up being arrested for possession, and they get fired from their job.
It’s a modern comedy of errors for these two, and the actors really pull off the heightened sense of comedy in this movie. This is both a stoner comedy, and a follow-up film for the teenage protagonists, and part of Mitchell’s strange work.

… The series was developed for a limited run …
There are probably not very many people who would have been interested in a sequel to Charles Dickens Oliver Twist Before the series premiered. Period pieces, however, have grown in popularity thanks to the steamy romance of Bridgerton and the thrilling drama of The terror. The cunning dodgerHowever, is more than a hybrid of a medical and crime drama.
