This is a cute but at some points the truth. If you are a young teen or young at heart and remember going through the teen years. You will love this movie. Its super cute and adorable.I loved it. If I had this movie around when I was a teen it would have simplified my life.I know a few parents that could open some eyes and see how this movie will help them with the teens they have.I think the 90's and some of the early 00's are the last time great movies and shows had been made. Life changed after this. Well what we watch. Again great teen movie!

Jamie (Kimberly J. Brown) is a high school student who is enjoying her life. She's loving it so much, she's constantly talking to the audience, bragging about how great everything is, similar to the new series at the time "Malcom in the Middle". She is shocked, but still annoyingly happy, when she finds her parents (especially her mother) are pregnant, and even more a delight is to be found when they reveal it's not one baby but five, hence the title of this stupid Disney made for TV movie, "Quints". The babies become too much, so they hire a strict, short lived nanny, Fiona. Fiona is an example of a character that is extremely over the top, but still somewhat works comically, played by forgotten ex-SNL member Robin Duke. Jamie starts trying to help with the babies. The babies then become a big TV hit, and chaos ensues, though laughter and fun is what I believe the director was going for.This movie will only appeal to young kids, which is the only audience it must be going for, so in this way it works. Kimberly J. Brown is certainly a charismatic lead, but her constant toothy smile, followed by her stereotypical "put the eyes and head down" sad face get old real fast, as do her monologues to the audience. The movie often goes for a surreal feel, including unrealistic daydreams which require good special effects, but here the special effects are terrible. The entire movie shouts out "Disney Channel Movie", which in turn in shouting out, "Mediocrity!"This is a dumb movie, and not great for anyone, but little kids will probably enjoy it.My rating: ** out of ****. 80 mins.

I'm a fan of fantasy, and I usually like Disney movies. I also have twins, and love movies about multiple birth children. This one is horrible. The biggest problem I have with it is that it completely ignores so many real things that I just can't get past. If they had had the exact same movie with triplets, I would have gotten past it. Unfortunately, quints don't go full term, they don't come straight home from the hospital and the mother isn't walking around when she goes into labor. I just couldn't get past these problems. If they had the same movie with twins or triplets (I have twins) I could have gone along with the whole thing. I couldn't get past the first half hour.

This film is Disney at its worst.Every cast member in this movie lacks acting talent with the exception of Don Knotts.The plot line is the worst yet of the Disney channel Original movies(Even though they all suck).I also find it incredibly annoying when Kimberly J. Brown stops the movie to explain something totally irrevelent to the plot line.This move is quite possibly the worst move I've ever seen!
