What Parents Need to Know
About Dadnapped
Parents need to know that this adventure comedy centers on the abduction of a man and his teenage daughter, but the movie's over-the-top humor -- and the ineptitude of the goofy kidnappers -- keeps the tone light enough that it won't frighten kids. No realistic weapons are used, but kids do use plastic guns that shoot liquid cheese and sludge-filled water balloons on their enemies. The story offers positive messages about self worth and honest communication.

Silly
When my sister made me watch this, I had low hopes. I was right, as this film is super silly, although I guess I kow why little kids would like it.

Dadnapped: Gooey Fun
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.

Great message, but not so great of a movie.
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).
