<br />America meets India in this musical teen drama about friendship, loyalty, and pursuing one's dreams. Three of the four original Cheetah Girls, Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Aqua (Kiely Williams), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan), are spending their last summer together before they disperse for college in this third <em>Cheetah Girls</em> film. A movie audition for young director Vickram (Michael Steger) lands the girls parts in what they think is a Hollywood movie, but turns out to be a Bollywood movie to be filmed in India. Making the decision to go for their dreams, the three Cheetah Girls head to India only to find out that there's only one starring role. Each girl struggles with her personal sense of loyalty, friendship, and desire for stardom. Romance brings additional challenges to the Cheetahs as does the melding of Indian and American cultures in everything from dance moves to life choices. <em>One World</em> is a visual feast of bright colors, great costuming, and innovative dances set against gorgeous scenery and a generous handful of <em>Cheetah Girls</em> songs. While the plot isn't particularly deep, it's entertaining enough for most viewers ages 7 to 13. <em>--Tami Horiuchi</em> <br /><br /> <span class="h1"><strong>Stills from <em>The Cheetah Girls: One World </em>(Click for larger image)</strong></span> <table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%"> <p></p> <p></p> <tbody> <tr align="center" valign="top"> <td><img align="left" ... less
