So, I'm an adult that likes this move. Branded a dork forlife, I am. ;) Anyway, this movie is a cute, fun little thing towatch with your girlfriends when you all need to avoid reality forawhile and want to relive that whole "puppy love" thingagain. It helps if you take the movie with a grain of salt.You'll laugh (and groan) your way through it, trust me. The actingis pretty good. It won't be winning anyone an Oscar, but "madefor Disney TV" movies rarely do that. They're never meant to.Justin Timberlake's performance is good and shows that he has a lot oftalent and could do wonders when he's finally able to set aside sometime and work with a truly great script. Maggie Lawson is refreshing,funny, and manages to give both of her characters an extra twist thatmakes them amusing (and not so over the top that you just -can't-suspend that disbelief). The supporting cast does its job at addingmore amusing little elements to the movie that you won't catch thefirst time or two you see it. To everyone who shunned this movie,called it a "tween" movie, or whatever, lighten up! Be akid again and enjoy the movie for the delightful fluff it is. It'smore fun to be young, anyway. Yeah, the theme is cheesy, overdone,and has one of those happy endings that makes -everyone- want to groanand hurl things at the TV, but many of the 80's teen flicks that mostof us adults are -still- guilty of watching had the same over-the-tophappy endings. Take it for what it is: A light-hearted movie thatisn't meant to win an Oscar. Get together with some friends, get somedrinks going, pop it in and laugh at the cheesy lines, the sometimes-too- earnest acting, the general "disney-ness" of it all,and all those times you dreamed or -did- that same sort of stuff injr. high/high school. You'll have a blast, trust me. Side note: Themovie isn't worth [what] Amazon is retailing it at. Try and catch itwhen it's airing on Disney so you can tape it, or search Amazon'smarketplace for discounted copies.
I am not a teenybopper, I just watched this movie on the Disney Channel, I tuned in late, and I have still yet to completely comprehend the movie. I don't understand how realistically you can resemble a supermodel enough to trade places with them, or how you can even meet them to begin with. It's not like supermodels like Tyra Banks, Kate Moss or Cindy Crawford spend their free time wandering around with the little people. Justin Timberlake is just a pretty face in this movie, but it does showcase his marginal acting talent. It's good for the whole family, but I would highly recommend other equally family- oriented movies by Disney with somewhat better plots. Try something like Johnny Tsunami or The Parent Trap.
Okay, I have to admit that I originally watched "Model Behavior" on television because I knew Justin Timberlake was going to be in it. From the first minute of the film, I realized that I should have just left the movie alone and watched something else. This movie revolves around the tale of The Prince and Pauper. There are two girls who magically are identical, but have never met one another or heard of the other. Somehow they encounter and switch lives for awhile. That would be all fine and good for a Disney movie, but then Kathie Lee Gifford and Justin Timberlake come into play. Even though I'm a fan of Timberlake's, I think his performance in this movie was terrible. Maybe it was because it was his first real role in a film, but all of his lines seemed stiff and forced. He came off like he was trying to "act" instead of just doing what came naturally. Watching him in his role as a supermodel who's infatuated with the female leads in the film became very painful after awhile. Kathie Lee Gifford's role suited her, but again, she seemed like she was forcing it too much. Overall, I guess this film could be okay for typical Disney audiences because it teaches you a good lesson at the end and everyone lives happily ever after. However, the acting and casting of this film leaves a lot to be desired.
I just saw this movie and I actually liked it. I didn't think that Justin Timberlake would do that well in his movie debut, when I heard about it, but he did and Maggie Lawson was very good as the sixteen year old girls that trede places with each other. If you're in the mood for one of those sweet Disney movies where everything works out in the end, this might be the one for you.
This movie is so much fun. I love the way she played girls who looked alike but just totally different. It was very fun and cool in so many ways. Justin did a great job in this film.
