Good characters but a disappointing film - California Schemin' review by CD
I was hoping for sharper humour and a lot more laughs in this film. There is plenty of energy, the music numbers are good , and the main characters are well cast, but apart from the James Corden cameo it brought few’ moments of real mirth.

Entertaining - California Schemin' review by KB
This film seemed to go quickly which is always a good sign.This is James McAvoys ' first film directing ( I think ) and he has done very well. The two male leads are likeable and suited to their roles.One of the better films that I have seen recently and you don't need to be into rap music to enjoy it ( I'm into Heavy Metal/Hard Rock ! ).
