Shopaholic35 I know this is a movie but it is a bit too unrealistic in my opinion. The whole scenario just doesn't seem plausible. First of all Zendaya's character would never wind up in this situation as her mother would never be attracted to a man like that and if she was their relationship would fall apart after living with children like his. Everybody is so obnoxious and rude.The overall concept is interesting and once you get over the stupidity of it you can kind of enjoy it but it is super full of clichés and is pretty corny. Actually it's a little bit of an epic fail with a couple of fun and entertaining moments. I'm not sure but it could be the actors fault. As their characters develop towards the end they do get better though. It's just not a very successful movie.

bkoganbing Another teen comedy/fantasy out of the ever busy creative minds from the Magic Kingdom. Zendaya stars in Zapped and before I get started it has nothing to do with the Scott Baio teen comedy/fantasy from the Eighties.Keeping up with the times this concerns Zendaya whose mother recently remarried and it's into a family of alpha males, gentle ones to be sure, but ones who are certainly need of housebreaking more than their dog.One fine day Zendaya who lives by her phone App sees it drop into the dog food after it's been electrically charged a few times. This App now has super powers, but only over the male of the species, the human species that is.Zendaya arranges and changes the behavior of all the men around her, at home and in school and things are looking pretty good for a while. But when she tries out for the school dance team in lieu of Physical Education she gets relegated to the B squad and humiliated by her rival Emilia McCarthy whose the teen queen from hell. That App gets her team especially trained and motivated like performing dogs.Mind control does not provide all the answers to Zendaya's problems as she learns in time to provide a happy ending for all but her rival.This is an innocuous Disney Studio teen film, better than the new series Zendaya is in, but this young woman has the right stuff to be a major musical star. I hope Disney or someone else gives her a chance to prove it.

chubbydave Do you like Zendaya?That's all you need to know. Zendaya is in this movie. If you like Zendaya, then you'll like the movie. If you don't like Zendaya, then... wait. Everyone likes Zendaya.This has every essential ingredient of a teen movie: the new girl in school, the loner guy who seems aloof and doesn't care about high school hallway politics and popularity contests, the mean girl who for no reason at all takes a strong disliking to the new girl, the odd friend, the challenge, the moral lesson... It's all there. You could watch any teen movie from the 80s, and it's not much different except for the smart phone.There is dancing in this movie, and it's pretty good. Z's character tries out for the school dance team, and the mean girl tries to prevent Z from making the team, but she hooks up with the JV dance team and competes against the elites.At the end of the day, there's not a whole lot about this movie to make you want to give up an hour and a half of your life except Zendaya.

Kendo Dodge I watched this film out of curiosity just to see what it was like and it was the worst film ever, it was rather offensive to me. A magical phone app that controls boys in the hands of a teenage girl who apparently refused to accept boys for who they are, even if they have flaws. They tried to make it seem like all girls were perfect and boys were the cause of all problems but it showed that girls are not all that perfect as they claim to be and that they blame boys for their personal problems that boys are not the cause of. The mean girl in the film, she actually annoys me, she's proves that when she has the phone with the magical app that she's a criminal, well, she only acts like one and her friend, although not as mean as her but even the mean girl is mean to her.But this whole film is demeaning to all boys, I'm a boy and I found this to be the idea of a woman, even though it was a man who directed it. This whole film seems to be screaming the term "Man-Haters" all over it. Zendaya as usual had to dance, the acting in this was horrible, the plot and story was nothing but garbage and insulting to boys. The whole time I watched it, I couldn't be more offended and I felt like hated every minute of it and everything about it. I find it demeaning and insulting to boys, I actually couldn't stop talking back to the film and the characters in it. I'm surprised this film didn't bomb. Although the thing about this film that satisfied me was that the girls in this finally learned that all boys are innocent and the girls were guilty of every evil thing through the whole plot and story. This film should never seen the light of day the minute they thought of it. I never hated any film in my whole life and this film is hateful to all boys and I think this film deserves to be hated for being the worst film ever and demeaning to boys. This film is nothing but an attack on boys and it screams "Man-Haters" all over.
