PLOT:

from Disney-

In "Dadnapped," a daughter-father action comedy set in and around the fictional Western town of Mercury, 15-year-old Melissa Morris and her father, Neal, the author of a popular action hero book series featuring Tripp Zoome, attend a conference of the book's most ardent fans and unwittingly become part of a prank dad-napping by three teens.




Movie Review:

It's a family disney movie. It's full of reality meets fantasy as Melissa Norris struggles to compete with her writer father's fictional character - Tripp Zoome.

There are two kid-nappings in this movie - that are treated somewhat like a game. Melissa and her Father, Neal, escape... but it is a very strange situation. There's an all-star cast of Disney Channel regulars so that makes it extra fun! Plus, there are lots of funny scenes and moments... especially loved when Melissa (Emily Osment) and Merv (Jason Earles, Jackson from Hannah Montana) accidentally run their car through the car wash with the top down. Very Bubbly and Sudsy! Plus, this movie includes, Moises Arias, (Rico on Hannah Montana) who is so cute and funny!

I also love Emily Osment and George Newbern, as actors. Emily is so sweet in Hannah Montana, as Hannah's best friend... and I've enjoyed George Newbern in many shows: Father of the Bride, Designing Women, the Sons of Mistletoe, etc...

I know it's a movie - comic book fans will love. Much of the movie is based on Fantasy as it deals with Neal Morris's fictional book about Tripp Zoome.

PLOT:

from DVD cover-

Although animal handler Eddie (Silverman) works with lots of creatures, he has a strict NO PETS ALLOWED policy and won't let his son Billy keep adorable stray dog Beethoven and his family of puppies. But when dog-nappers steal the canine star of the movie Eddie's working on, the studio big shots must quickly find a replacement and unexpectedly cast the lumbering canine as their next big star. Through his rambunctious antics and larger-than-life personality, Beethoven not only crashes into Hollywood but into Eddie's heart as well.

Movie Review:

I have seen the other Beethoven Movies and this one... I believe, is by far, the Best! I liked all of the main characters... Jonathan Silverman, Jennifer Finnigan (Jonathon's wife in real-life), and Moises Arias. I remember Jonathan Silverman all the way back to the Gimme a Break days when he played the smart nerd who dated the middle daughter on the show. Moises Arias is perfect to play his son as he is quirky and fun - much like Jonathon's characters always are!

Like the other Beethoven Movies, this one is also family friendly and should be okay for children of all ages. Beethoven is missing for a time - but rest assured he is found! There is also a conversation between father and son about missing the mother who passed away years ago.

Most of the movie is fast-paced and fun. I enjoyed watching Eddie grow in many of his relationships... with his son, Billy, his co-worker and new friend, Lisa, and Beethoven, the dog!
