Zack & Cody, Le Film

I know that some people dislike the science fiction direction this movie took the franchise in and I do understand that complaint. Though for the record Suite Life was never purely slice of life. There was an episode of Zack and Cody wherein Arwin's machine created a portal to a parallel universe and it's then implied to have been a dream only for the ending to reveal that it was real (admittedly as a joke.) And an episode devoted to Arwin creating a robot version of himself named Arwinstein. Another one where London actually got Bigfoot on Yay Me starring London Tipton and interviewed him about his book. While the episode about a shooting star turning Zack and Cody into superheroes was revealed as a dream, Raven Baxter and her premonitions were treated as entirely real.

Even Suite Life on Deck included Bailey being possessed by a ghost, Galapagos Gurdy being real and a smoothie bringing a plant to life and turning it to a monster. (And possibly a magic genie lamp. Not to mention an alternate universe created by a birthday wish.

I know it was generally more slice of life than that and I don't blame people who wished the movie were as well but I'm completely fine with it.

Without getting into spoilers, I like how Dr. Olsen and Dr. Spaulding are used as a foil for Zack and Cody. I think the mad scientist was a well-done villain. I liked the attention it paid to Cody and Bailey's relationship. While the humour in the early parts of the movie was hit or miss (the actors were clearly unaccustomed to performing without a laugh track) it gets significantly better since then. And while the dolphins backstory for the phlebotinum could hardly have been more contrived, the comedy it provided with London was quite entertaining.

I do think that Mr. Moseby, Woody and to a lesser extent London were severely underused characters within this movie but that flaw isn't enough to ruin the movie for me. Not even close.

It's a decent film.

I love The Suite Life With Zack And Cody and On Deck, but this movie was a failure in my opinion. The story was weak, the writing was sloppy, and I didn't laugh once in the entire film. It doesn't even feel like a movie based on the show, it feels like it would belong in another movie that isn't The Suite Life shows. Don't watch this movie, it's not worth watching.

Is 'the suite life movie' but a lot of the characters of the original show and the on deck spin-off are missing: maddie, esteban, marcus, carey, arwin, miss tutweiller, and many other ones. The plot is... okay, i guess, but it doesn't work because the comedy doesn't work, (why so serious?) and because we don't get to see a lot of the characters being faithful for themselves in order for this movie works (and it doesn't) they are given this crazy storylines that comes around every 2 or 3 episodes per season, and it works as a contrast of the rest of series, but not as a whole movie. The supporting cast didn't matter to the story either and that's just sad, Brenda Song, Phill Lewis and Debby Ryan totally totally are in the movie but their characters are wasted as their b-plot is just nonsensical. If it was a suite life on deck special it would've made more sense (god knows they could've used more screen time) and in the end it feels just like it, an okay suite life on deck episode without laugh track. It doesn't seem like a suite life movie at all.

Just when I thought Dylan and Cole Sprouse would never do a DCOM, they finally did, and I thought it was really cool. The story was well structured, Dylan and Cole's acting was much more professional than in the show, plus it was also very interesting to have Zack and Cody portrayed in a more serious light. This movie definitely had some surprises, considering that it was from the director of the Even Stevens Movie, but it's true that they could've focused on other characters besides Zack and Cody. As usual, Phill Lewis did great as Moseby, and Brenda Song does a great job as well. The movie was also a good opportunity for the filmmakers to mend and sort of add new development to Zack and Cody's brotherly relationship, and as a result, they learned to understand each other better. Overall great film, I give it a 9/10.

Zack and Cody are given the opportunity to participate in the prestigious Gemini Project, a research center that studies the dynamism between twins. When they realize it, they realize they are connected in a way never seen before: when one feels any sensation, or thinks about something, the other will go through the same. While this newfound power helps the boys discover themselves, it also puts them in great danger.

Boring movie, what an unbearable brother, with a brother like that you don't even need an enemy, wow, that doesn't even sound fun, and the caricatured friends, the chubby glutton, the dumb blonde and the oriental madam, all very unpleasant, with irresponsible young people, who the gentle ones are stupid, Eww, the film advances along a nebulous path of science fiction that unification of the twins (?!?!) not profitable, maybe for the young people of the time and for those who enjoyed the series, just... Boring...
