Hilary Duff stars in the Disney Channel family comedy CADET KELLY. When her mother
marries friendly General Maxwell (Gary Cole, OFFICE SPACE), fashionable and
independent-minded teen Kelly Collins (Duff) must move to a new town and start at a
new school. Unfortunately, that new school is a military academy, where Kelly
struggles to fit in with the strict and regimented atmosphere. Her progress is not
made easier by Cadet Captain Stone (Christy Carlson Romano, KIM POSSIBLE), a mean
and by-the-books troop leader who seems to have singled Kelly out to antagonize. Now
Kelly must find a way to integrate herself into the school's disciplined world while
at the same time maintaining her upbeat and unique viewpoint on life.

Painful to watch, it's an absolute atrocity. Cadet Kelly features some god-awful performances and a enormously predictable, cheese-filled story.
It was cute, back in 2002. I don't even wanna think of watching it now.
This was perhaps one of the first movies that introduced me to Hilary Duff. I loved this movie and love watching it over and over again.

Kelly was such a strong girl an the plot was so entertaining and enjoyable. I would love to see Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano in another film. Drill Team scenes were awesome!
So cheesy but cute! Quite a few moments that made me smile! A kids movie, but great all the same.
