Dadnapped

Although I'm above the average age that watches the Disney Channel (at 21), I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. Maybe because most of my favorite Disney actors are in it (and they usually don't get the attention they deserve), but otherwise, I thought the plot to be silly and fun to watch, which is exactly what a Disney movie is supposed to do. I watched both Spectacular! and Dadnapped and Dadnapped was by far the better movie (and of course, Disney has one of the best marketing teams right now, going against Nickelodeon on the same night to get better ratings). Kids of all ages can enjoy the silliness of this movie while enjoying the performances of their favorite actors from favored t.v. shows. And of course, the only thing that I was disappointed in was the missing kiss, but I can understand the producers cutting it out. Overall, I was amused, which is all I ask for from Disney.

I hate this movie do not see this movie you will hate it.

Let me first say that this would be a great movie for an eight year old Disney fan to watch with her father. I'm not going to lie-- if you're a hardcore Disney fan, you'll appreciate the fact that there are a lot of 'stars' in the movie (Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Moises Arias, and David Henrie), but if you're not, it's a bit more unlikely this is going to be a favourite of yours. Though it has a great message, the plot is very weak and the acting isn't as good as it could've been. This movie looks like it took less than a week to film, yet they've tried to hype it up with countless advertisements and a music video (the song's actually very good, I have to give them that). What surprises me even more is that this movie was aired on a Monday-- Disney almost consistently premieres their movies on weekends. It was premiered at the same time Nickelodeon was premiering the movie Spectacular (which is my newest favorite movie), and had more viewers! I can tell that a lot of work went into Spectacular, with the music and choreography. Though I know that they're competitor channels, I think it's beyond rude that Disney had to go out of their way to premiere on the same night (3.3 million people tuned into Nick for Spectacular, while 4.6 million watched Dadnapped), and that choice of theirs will DEFINITELY influence my viewing choices in the future-- from now on, I'm going to be very reluctant to watch Disney Channel, except for Life With Derek (which isn't one of their original shows anyway).

Oh my gosh, why are all of these 'Original Disney' movies so suckish. All of the main characters are snobby and get their way easy, same plots but different stories, there's always this snobby cool kid, its just freakin annoying, in Dadnapped the main girl is rude and selfish the ENTIRE time, rolling her eyes and going 'whatever' she has weird halusinations, and why the heck would a bunch of nerds steal a comic book writer? The acting stunk (sorry, but its true) and it seems like they bash all of the 'sitcom' stars together into a big trainwreck. In Hatching Pete.. wow that was just bizar. People are too preppy in these movies, I only liked Bryan Stipanick. The plots make little sense dispite the fact I watched it 3 times to try to make sense of it. Nope, no sense. Although its a little better than Dadnapped. I think Disney Channel needs to just STOP making these crappy movies and think to themselves for a few months, actually read peoples complains. They're just wasting their millions which they mysteriously got. Little kids deserve to watch better things than this. I grew up with cartoons, they're growing up with horrible no-sense sitcoms that teach bad messages. I got a cousin that acts like Miley Cyrus, and she's 4. 4!! Sorry, this sounds a little like a hate-speech. But the truth must be told.
