Goofs
The microchips should only make the skates replicate what is happening, but the hockey players dance with each other and mimic every act of Charlie and Claire. Also, when the skates start to float, there is no reason for the players, Charlie, and Claire to remain upright. They should be upside down, since the microchips were on their skates.

Quotes
Charlie Boyle aka Chaz Anthony: I have to watch my sister.
Claire Addison: I thought you were an only child?
Charlie Boyle aka Chaz Anthony: I am. Sister... Mary Catherine... she's a nun... and an invalid.

Alternate versions
The song "The Prince You Charmed" by Youngstown is replaced by another song on Disney+.

Clever

Alot of made for TV Disney Channel movies drip with so much sweet, over the top, ewww and gooo, you just don't want to watch them anymore. This was wasn't like that. Clever script, cleverly acted--this movie is by far one of TDC's better movies. Like Luck of the Irish, Smart House, or The Jett Jackson Movie. They are well made, well acted and aren't overly boring.

Trevor MOrgan is excellent as the "genius" playing both Chaz and charlie brilliantly. He is certainly making a man for himself...big movies under his belt will only help this talented 15 year old!
