Presented by the producers of Private Benjamin, Cadet Kelly is the story of a young teenage girl's dilemma when her life of free-spirited creativity and unmasked familial love collides with a world of extreme military discipline and reserve. Kelly Collins, played by Hilary Duff, is a happy student at New York Middle School of the Arts whose whole world changes dramatically when her mother marries an army captain who's just been promoted to Commandant at George Washington Military Academy. Thrust into a rigid world of obedience that frowns upon creativity and individuality, Kelly manages to make one close friend, but clashes with Cadet Captain Stone (Christy Carlson Romano) and is eventually court-martialed. Sentenced to maintain the equipment for the drill team, Kelly's disdain for the team suddenly evaporates when she glimpses the beauty and creativity involved in their precise maneuvers. Eventually, Kelly experiences significant personal growth, finds an outlet for her creativity, and begins to forge an important connection with her new stepfather. DVD extras include commentary by Christy Carlson Romano and Aimee Garcia, a "learning the drills" segment with Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano, a "drill team challenge" interactive game that will have viewers doing everything from lacing up a boot to deciphering military time, and a DVD-ROM party planner. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 good movie April 20, 2008
Shalimar (California)
this is a good family movie but if you find the price to be higher then 10 bucks i would suggest waiting until it gets lower. Maybe rent it first.
 Great Tween Entertainment! January 22, 2008

Cadet Kelly is a wonderful family film that kids and young teens will adore. The characters are wonderful, the setting is fun, and the heroine will triumph in the end!
All that and some popcorn, and you've got a fabulous family night film certainly worth your time and money!
Way better than I thought February 14, 2007

This movie starring Hilary Duff is old but well done if a simple plot that are often in Hiliary's movies. The Guy gets the Girl in a military school. Good acting by her Female /Student Seargant and the Commander/Stepfather. Again not much too it but better than I thought. Well done Hilary Duff.
 this movie is full of maggots December 23, 2006

This has got to be the worst movie ever made! Christy Carlson Romano plays a drill sergeant who picks on Hilary Duff's character because she's a spoiled brat AND has a crush on Christy's boyfriend. After lots of trials and tribulations they magically become best friends because they can both twirl ribbons *really* well. I would have given this movie "0 stars" if there had been the option. Save yourself. Don't see it, and certainly don't buy it.
Cutesy...way too cutesy August 27, 2006

Hilary Duff, usually a perfectly okay actress, really sucks doggy doo-doo in this midstream Lizzie McGuire performance. Christy Carlson Romano, Even Stevens veteran, is also an equally awesome actress, but isn't exactly up-to-par in this movie.
Hilary plays some ditzy teenager named (shockingly) Kelly who goes to military school on the order of her mother and new stepfather (Michael Douglas? Who is THAT?). Kelly, a fashionista at heart, is bunked with too-harsh, too-tough Christy (forget her characters name...LOL.)
The whole plot is like cereal left in milk for too long. She joins the drill team, led by way-too-adorable, pre-Zac Efronish kinda guy. At the end? OMG, we better add a little tragedy to balance out all the ditziness and harshness!
But, hey. Soggy cereal is better than no cereal.
