I'm only eighteen, I'm not some middle-aged, ranting old lady. But only today's generation of cellular phone addicts and texting slaves would inspire Disney to make a movie called Zapped (emphasis on the word 'app' in 'zapped' was their intent, ugh). The characters were all cardboard cutouts of the trendy, popular cell phone-carrying, texting addict teens of today. I think movies should be teaching kids to stay away from cell phones, not to fall victim to the hoards of people who stumble through the streets constantly texting everyone. The plot was incredibly stupid, too! Basically an overly generic girl finds an app on her I-phone that can control boys around her. It's a dog-training app.

My little brother and sister hated it, so if Disney thinks kids like this kind of thing, well, only the sheep like movies like this, there are probably loads of other kids who don't like it, either. What ever happened to the days when on a rainy day or after school, you could have fun with Disney movies like Don't Look Under the Bed (1999)? Disney channel movies weren't always sinking as low as Zapped, there were some very memorable ones from earlier times. I'm not trying to sound old or anything, but television today is seriously degrading if people seriously want to watch this.

Zendayas character really has a tough new constellation in her life. Her mother marries someone new and a lot of males (in form of a new father but especially in form of new brothers) come into her everyday life. But Zendaya herself survived this and it did not do anything bad to her career as another reviewer suggested 5 years ago.

I personally did not know her before Spiderman, but here we go, she obviously made movies way before that. And while this one is not a masterpiece - it's not a bad movie either. Predictable and full of cliches - but you can have fun with it. And if you are the target group (mostly girls, but especally teenagers),you migh even relish in it. Take it for what it is - a fun ride

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.
