With that name, I would think probably not. But I’m not 14, so what do I know? But late last night came the news that Disney Channel has ordered an original movie based on the novel Lemonade Mouth, which centers on five high schoolers who form a band “using unusual instruments” after meeting in detention. (It sounds a little like School of Rock-meets-Stomp-meets-The Breakfast Club to me, which is kind of perfect, since the author, Mark Peter Hughes, shares a surname with Breakfast‘s director.)
I’m going to take issue with the fact that a ukulele is believed to be an “unusual instrument” — Lee DeWyze would take their ukulele and raise them a bagpipe! (The other instruments used in the band are apparently a trumpet, bass, and a conga drum.) But I’m less concerned with the plot of this soon-to-be tweener sensation — which is being hailed as the next High School Musical — and more concerned with who would be cast in the flick. Because teen girls everywhere need another Zac Efron.
So who should fill his shoes and topline Lemonade? Zack or Cody? iCarly‘s Nathan Kress? Since I’m 25 and unable by law to find anyone under the age of 18 attractive, fill me in, kids. Who’s hot these days?
This would be pppeeerrrrfect for TIm Urban! Disney NEEDS to cast him in this! It would be perfect for him! GO TIM!!
Stop trying to make Lee happen..
Lee is terrible. No one is going to buy his albums and he is not going to be on Disney…
she was talking about Tim. Lee is going to be successful. Tim, however, will not be.
ok tula u need 2 get it straight. I dont see u in american idol singing so dont put down Lee. He prob is a lot better than u so shut ur mouth!
Whatever Mac..
Tim is MADE for Disney. I am 17 and I still watch Disney so I would know! Lee is wickity wickty WACK! He will go this week. GET FAMILIAR!
Lee DeWyze is incredibly talented. If you think Tim Urban had a good voice, you are clearly blinded by his good looks. Lee has a stronger and sweeter voice. Tim is hot but that is the only thing he has for him. This generation of girls voting for he hot guys on American Idol is complete crap. Instead of Joe Munoz, Tim Urban should have been the first male member out. Tum Urban is not that great of a singer and for you to say that, you just prove the stereotypes that most people put on teenage girls: blind and dumb who can’t appreciate true talent unless there is a face to go with it. Seriously, grow up.
Tula: Lee won, he is obviously amazing.
Maria: THANK YOU.
Makenzie: I’m behind you!
I agree. From the moment I saw Tim on American Idol I thought “Disney”
yeah right girl
Why is Lee DeWyze mentioned in here? he doesn’t have anything to do with disney. I love Lee, but this is a kinda random shoutout…
they said that because he had a bagpiper on the show and they were talking about unusual instruments so thats why.
Having never read this book I thought the title sounded like the dumbest thing ever. Can anyone clue me in to whether there’s an actual reason it’s called “Lemonade Mouth”?
It’s the name of the band itself. And I haven’t read it in over a year, but if I recall correctly, it has to do with the cafeteria removing a lemonade machine, and the band results as part of the ensuing protest?
Such a good sho, meetsinglefiremen
Did someone say Lemon Party?
i think i’ll pass… love lee, but like what others said, what does he have to do with this?
also, jason castro played a ukulele on idol, so why not mention him too?
Through Justin Beiber (sp?) in it. It doesn’t matter if he can act or not, tweens will eat it up– I mean, if the Jonas Bros can get a couple Disney Channel movies and their own show, certainly Justin has a good shot!
oh, the “through” should be “throw”, just in case the grammer police arrive.
They should cast Tim but he’s 19 and looks too buffed to portray a (virgin) teen.
They may cast Justin Bieber but although he’s 16, he looks like he’s 10. Not teen enough.
Lee Dewyze has nothing to do here.
Kate wasn’t talking about casting Lee…Kate was using the bagpipes (and perhaps should also have mentioned Crystal’s Diggeridoodah) as an example of why a Ukulele is downright tame if you’re trying for weird instruments.
I say Nathan Kress!!
senora hughes
And author Mark Peter Hughes was born in the same hospital as John Lennon in Liverpool!
what about that girl jenny cooke? shes on Twitter, and like all of mileys fans follow and luv her. i think she culd be so cool in lemonade mouth. like she is deff the next vanessa hudgens.

SPENCER BOLDMAN is perfect for this…he gives Zach Ephron something to worry about…
