"Zapped," though, is a footnote, an old model in need of an upgrade. Go to Full Review

3/5
Zapped is entertaining enough, particularly for the younger crowd who will be drawn to it because of Disney megastar Zendaya's presence, but its messages are somewhat mixed for this age group. Go to Full Review

Andy C @HaYouGay 03/09/2025 This Movie is the definition of Cringe. See more 12/28/2021 Feels like made for cable with a bunch of cliches. See more 10/05/2021 The only redeemable thing in this entire movie is the weird appropriated dance in the final act. Everything else is a never-ending slog of unfunny jokes and tedious drama that unfortunately takes up most of the plot. I'd rather have a whole movie over "the Coop." The man deserves a Disney+ original series. See more 06/30/2021 A lackluster film riddled with pacing issues, cheap dialogue ,and a convoluted plot. By the end it turns out to be quite charming thanks to Zendaya. See more 12/11/2020 this movie is good but can be corny at times which is obvious because it's a Disney channel movie. See more 07/29/2018 I remember watching this movie when it first came out and thinking that it was an overall fun and okay movie.I watched it again today as an 18 year old and I found so many things wrong that I haven't noticed before.First things first all the characters are one-sided,especially when it comes to boys,and the whole plot is just based on stereotypes about how boys are 'gross' and 'immature'.The protagonist constantly refers to boys being similiar to dogs and just treats them like they are always wrong and inferior to girls.So if I had to describe the movie in one word it would be 'SEXIST'.Also,the plot was predictable and there wasnt really time spent neither on the development of the characters nor on the relationships between them(for example on the realtionship between the leading couple or between the family members).The protagonist was shallow,egoistical and self-centered,the 'villain' was a stereotypical dumb,blonde,mean girl who is over the top and at some point even commands people to bow at her...Like who the hell does that?As for the love interest,he was kind of the cliche loner type but he was probably the only one that didnt annoy me.I also found the scene where the step-dad fixed her music box cute.All in all I dont think zapped is a good movie,maybe the worst movie that disney chanell has ever made but to be fair I think that I am kind of hard on it now cause I am older and have higher criterias to find a movie good.Probably young kids are gonna like it and think it was overall a fun movie to watch.
