When I think bad DCOM, I think that one with Sterling Knight and some random girl who couldn't act. I think Frenemies. There are a whole lot of them, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.
Sterling Knight deserves a hug & a medal of having to put up with that stupid crybaby co-star Danielle Campbell. He was the only thing redeemable about Starstruck.
My favorite DCOM's are the Halloweentown movies (except for the last one because of I don't like Sara Paxton), Quints (I like Kimberly J Brown & I found her to be aborable), Cadet Kelly, The Color of Friendship, Gotta Kick It Up, Wendy Wu (both of them), High School Musical 1-2-3, Stuck in the Suburbs, Life is Ruff, & Read It and Weep (the last 3 because of the Panabaker girls (Danielle & her very beautiful sister Kay))
I think that Frenemies is one of the worst DCOM that I have ever watched. I had to admire Zendaya for putting up with that crap & her very crappy co-star (Bella Thorne). I also don't like either of the Camp Rock movies. It was an inferior version of High School Musical & there was nothing charming or memorable about it.
Speaking of Zendaya, her DCOM (Zapped) was OK. I was happy that she didn't have Bella Thorne around to make her look bad like on Frenemies. I don't know why they bother having the blond enemy girl in the movie. Everything about her sucks & she was also a sucky dancer. Zendaya can dance & act better than her on so many levels. That blond girl almost single-handily ruined that movie.
Spencer Boldman showed more personality & charisma than that dumbass (Luke Benward) did in his entire time on Cloud 9. Overall, it was OK, but it could of been better.
I have to be honest, I can't seem to get excited about How To Be A Better Boy & I'm sensing that Disney Channel isn't very excited about this upcoming DCOM by the way they're promoting it. They showed more energy on promoting Zapped than How To Build A Better Boy. It also doesn't help that they could careless about China McClain & Kelly Berglund is nothing to get excited about.
