A better premise for the movie would be Zoey ACCIDENTLY controlling her brothers. Like, she says that she wishes they would listen to her (but she wasn't being serious) and all of a sudden they're obeying her every command and aren't themselves anymore. Zoey realizes that they're perfect just the way they are, everything is fixed, all is forgiven, blah blah blah... you get it.

As a girl who watched this movie growing up, I feel like this film really understood how (some) younger girls saw boys.

It isn't a PERFECT definition by any means and there are more nuances to a library, but she understood the essential part, that is libraries do specific things that are necessary in specific situations, like reading an Excel file. I think that what being savy about something is truly about: being able to make people know wtf you're talking about by getting to their level and THEN spitting the weird sounding shit.

Hey, Hollywood? Not every single new student is immediately noticed and/or bullied. I was ignored entirely when I switched schools to the point where I came home crying because I had no friends, which is a nightmare for me. I had to start a thousand awkward conversations that the other person did not want to have until I found a friend. In my old school, when there was a new student, everyone would be all over them trying to figure out who they are and befriend them. Not bully them. Like this happens really, really rarely, yet in Disney movies it happens all the time.

[@thequeenofcringe1585]

Yeah, when I switched schools, nobody said anything about how they didn’t know me. There were some people who did know me because it was in the same district, but those people were the only people that acknowledged that I was in that school. And most of those people were acquaintances. When a girl switched to that school in the middle of the year, people were talking about her, but she wasn’t bullied.

This reminds me of a Goosebumps book I read when I was little. In it, a girl finds a TV remote that can control people sort of like this. She starts by hitting "mute" to get her family to stop asking her to do things, but the next day at school people notice the remote and beg her to let them try it. Overwhelmed, she starts pressing buttons to protect her from the mob of kids, until she hits "off". This turns off the universe, leaving her alone in an empty void. The batteries die, trapping her there. That was how I began to fear death. Good to see Disney bringing terror and dread to a new generation. Girl power!

New idea for Zapped: It starts off normal but really leans into the idea that she *hates* her new family and after her phone gets "zapped", one of her brothers breaks the mind control but has to pretend he's still controlled. He slowly has to figure out how to disable the control on the rest of his family and the boys at school. Now, 2 ideas for endings: 1. He takes the phone and breaks the control over the boys and either she learns that she was wrong, or doesn't. 2. While trying to get the phone, he falls back under the control of the app and it cuts to a dystopian future where his sister rules the world and he's her personal slave.

There's actually book super similar to this called "Boys Are Dogs" but it actually makes sense how it works. The protagonist realizes her the advice in her dog training book can be used on people, and starts socially conditioning the guys are her school to be less of jerks.

I’m sure it makes a lot of sense

Sounds like an older movie I saw. Dont remember the name. Like 1950s 1960s. (No, I'm not that old, my mom thought all new movies were dirty, so I watched racist/sexist films from the last century as a child)

What sucks more to me is that the love interest is a Adam from Lab Rats, and I cannot see him as a teen movie’s love interest, not with the goofy and dumb but hyper strong bionic super man he is in Lab Rats

[@jocelynecupcake]

Disney loved doing that kind of thing with their actors and actresses, especially their male actors. He could be playing a big dumb oaf in one show/movie and then play a love interest in the other. It doesn't help that they always got the 30 year old ladies' men to play the love interests and the more normal teen looking guys to play the nerdy or awkward guys. Come to think of it, the beauty standards on those shows were worse for the guys than for the girls. Me and my friend recently watched that Twister episode of Suite life on Deck (which was a spinoff to Suite life of Zack & Cody) and but Zack and Cody looked more like normal teens, but the guy who played Bailey's ex boyfriend looked 25-30 ish! LOL ^o^ it was kinda funny tho. He was a good actor, i guess that's what mattered. My grandma and I would notice that stuff in a lot of sitcoms, but nobody did it as much as Disney. also I remember Lab Rats being very weird, but I saw an interview with the actors and actress and they seemed so nice and sweet! Like, it's not their fault the show is weird, they just wanted to be on a show that makes kids laugh.

ngl if they kept out the weird dark magic plot this could have genuinely been a really good movie with a good message. The part where the stepdad doesn't know how to talk to his new stepkids (especially if he doesn't have kids, or only has kids of the opposite gender) is really relatable and I wish they would have delved deeper into the family aspect a bit more. Lots of kids could have benefited from a movie like that.

[@seliamila1005]

I think the magic part is interesting just so badly badly presented

[@Dingooose]

also maybe make the male characters a weeeee bit more realistic.

[@TheOneGuy1111]

If they took out the dark magic plot and replaced it with a better story then it'd be an entirely different movie...
