In the year 2115, two robot scientists will compare 1989 and 2009 using the original version of Teen Witch and United Artists‘ Teen Witch remake starring the girl/”global brand” above, Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical, bright backgrounds). Cue robotic eye rolling. I checked on IMDB and thankfully, the cornerstone of the cheeky original, Zelda Rubenstein (right) is still alive, so UA better call her up for a tween-appealing cameo or face a spell not worthy of Carol Anne.
This might not be totally accurate, but I believe the original movie ranks on 20somethin’ girls’ endearing nostalgia-meter right around where American Ninja or Cyborg ranks with dudes of the same age. So it’s not exactly a female Fletch, but Tisdale has her bedazzled work cut out for her. Can she top the original’s rather amazing signature musical number entitled “Top That!”? That is a rhetorical question, but we’ve included the link to “Top That!” for your enjoyment. Yes, it’s friggin’ worth it.
Discuss: Does this make your day?

Between this and that chihuahua movie. You can’t get anymore cliche’ than “Ashley”.

I’ll never forgive you for putting that song into my head.

Zelda Rubenstein isn’t just alive, she was also in one of the better horror movies of recent memory, BEHIND THE MASK.
And one of the biggest disasters, SOUTHLAND TALES.

Awesome news.
For some reason I thought this movie was a blast when I was younger, even thought it was shitty.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Okay, so I realized that I know way too much about this movie. Considering that I busted out that rediculous song as soon as I saw the title. I have begun my therapy sessions to work on my random recall of lame movies from the 80’s. Wish me luck.

“This might not be totally accurate, but I believe the original movie ranks on 20somethin’ girls’ endearing nostalgia-meter right around where American Ninja or Cyborg ranks with dudes of the same age.”
That’s so true on both levels for me because I’m a herm.
Seriously, I don’t think this girl has what it takes to recreate true “Louise Mania”.

STOP WITH THE GODDAMNED REMAKES ALREADY!!!!
and that Ashley Tisdale can’t act if her life depends on it. If they were gonna do a remake, at least please pick a decent actress!!!!!

This remake of Teen Witch sounds incredible! Especially with Ashley Tisdale. She’s the perfect person to play this role! No one else can act better than her. She’s number one!
