Reviews

After reading some other reviews about this movie I thought I would contribute a little of my own to hopefully give it a little more respect as it should be entitled to. It's not all that bad of a movie assuming you keep a few factors in mind while watching it... although, it would have been much better if they would have been able to get the same actor who played Proto Zoa from the firs two movies to reprise his role in this 3rd addition to the series.

Anyway, if you watch it in terms of it being a "game" it's a fun movie to watch and enjoy. The way Disney Channel premiered it and aired it for the 3rd time the next night were probably the only good showings of it they will do. Just airing it as a plain movie won't be all that special or much fun in other words. If you saw the premier than you knew that this movie comes with a fun twist -- it has 50 hidden "Z's" scattered throughout the movie in which as you watch it you can try and locate them yourself. Some of them are quite difficult to see while many of them are extremely easy (true). So, if you were clever enough to record both the original premier and the Saturday night encore of it you've got the best 2 showings of the movie ever and 2 versions of the movie that you would be able to watch again and again if you feel like watching a movie just for pure fun and even to make a game out of it!

If Disney does do yet another Zenon movie (Zenon 4) hopefully they will learn from this last 2 movies and make sure that they at least get ALL the original cast members and come up with a decent script for a MOVIE and just a script for an hour long TV show (which is probably all that Zenon Z3 is without the commercials... unfortunately).

Winning London is yet another one of Olsen twin's great, highly enjoyable movies... though this movie starts off kind of slow and may start to turn you off, however, if you have the patience to make it through the first half of the movie, it really picks up and gets REALLY good and entertaining during the second half of the movie! The scene where they stage the rescue mission is absolutely fantastic and really picks up the tempo of the movie.

Ever since the last Disney Channel original movie -- "The Ultimate Christmas Present" premiered when they first aired the very first promo for "Zenon: The Zequel" I have been really looking forward to this movie ALL month long and right up until the premEAR of it on January 12, 2001 -- two years after the premEAR of the first one ("Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century") in which I have also been a fan of as well.

This movie is basically everything I could have hoped it would be and more with one minor drawback -- that the producers were unable to get the FULL cast of the first one back to do the sequel. Still, the important characters were still played by the same actors/actresses (Kirsten Storms, Lauren Maltby, Stuart Pankin and Phillip Rhys as Proto Zoa.) Stuart Pankin is simply hilarious and a GREAT actor -- in both "Zenon" movies as well as in "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves". Kirsten Storms (Zenon Carr) is even better in this sequel than the first movie, though she still gave a fantastic performance in the first one. Her arch-earth-nemesis, Margie (Lauren Maltby) is in this sequel a lot more than she was in the first one and also gives a fantastic performance.

The opening scene (after the voice-over introductory scene) is just absolutely so well done and hilarious! This really does a great job of grabbing the viewer's attention and will make the viewer want to keep watching the rest of the movie for anymore just-as-hilarious scenes as this one. So I don't ruin the movie for anyone, I won't go into detail and describe it here but just let me say that it all starts off with a very innocent little computer game that turns out to be a REAL game and proves to be disastrous-major!

It's original movies like this one that really keeps me looking forward to each and every Disney Channel original movie every month as well as collecting them all for my video library!

Well, I think that subject line basically sums up everything I want to say about "Even Stevens". For the most part it says that if you were a fan of the "Weird Science" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" tv series you will most probably really LOVE this show, too!

"Weird Science" ran from 1994 - 1997. "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" went from 1997 to 2000 and "Even Stevens" just started a month after "Honey..." ended. "Even Stevens" is such a great comedy and each episode just keeps getting better and better, literally! It makes it will hard for me to wait until the next all-new episode, in fact. If you haven't seen an episode yet, give it a chance... what have you got to lose? You may just end up loving it!!

If I could just say a few words about this movie they would be, "A Must Buy!". In fact, I don't know why I let this movie go for so long before getting it myself and watching it because it is very good -- a fantastic adventure and enough suspense to keep you watching it all the way through (at least the 1st time).

When this movie aired on the Wonderful World of Disney this past Sunday night (June 11, 2000) I watched it for the first time to preview it. I was also trying to do something else at the time, but it was so good that I could only continue what I was doing during commercial breaks.

The next day, I just had to go out and find it on video to add it to my own video library and then I watched it again later that night and one more time the next night. This is real good movie to watch over and over again, though, seeing it the 1st time is the best.

To sum all this up in a few words, this movie has surely become one of my favorites and will most probably be a heavily played video, too! An excellent movie! 10 Stars!!

I typed this comment partly due to that "bad-review" posted by that other person, as I did not believe this movie deserved such a bad review...

I have seen this movie when it premiered on the Wonderful World of Disney and thought it was one of their better movies so far being a very good, FUNNY movie. The movie does feature quite a few very good and funny parts, and the two "bad guys" in the movie actually help to make this such a good comedy! If you want a good comedy, then give it a try - you'll probably like it!

(Not quite as good as "My Date with the President's Daughter" and "Beverly Hills: Family Robinson" which were both aired AFTER it, however. These two remain 2 of my favorites, and am hoping that Disney will release them on video in the near future.)

This may come accross as a movie for girls and/or kids, but I feel this is a REALLY GREAT, Entertaining movie for people of ALL AGES. If you love comedy, you'll love this movie!!

I would really like Disney to consider releasing this one on video cassette so that we can buy an original copy of it. This one is definitely worth adding to our video libraries!! :-)

A GREAT, ENTERTAINING MOVIE!!!!!
