Drake and Josh Go Hollywood

Normally, I am a big fan of Drake & Josh. I was excited about watching them for a whole hour and a half, but this movie was just extremely bland. It moved very slow and was not as funny as the television episodes. Josh's character did not do as many "Josh-isms" as he does in the show, and the humor was not the same. And when I was a junior in high school, my parents would have never left me at home for 10 days with me and just a sibling. And in the beginning when the parents leave, and the boys have to drop Megan off at the airport, the time reads at night, but it is daylight outside, which was an extremely careless error. Overall, I was looking forward to watching this movie, but I was disappointed.

I like the TV Show Drake & Josh. It's a funny TV Show that can definitely keep us entertained and laughing. It's cool how they made a TV movie off of the TV show, with a different entertaining action plot with the characters Drake & Josh. This movie by all means is a great movie. If you're a fan of the TV show, then it is definitely for you. The good news about this movie, is if you look it up online, you'll see how it was the highest rated program on all of cable the week it aired, and it had 5.8 million viewers. It aired on January 6, 2006, I remember watching some of it on TV that day. I was new to Drake and Josh, and staying at a hotel with my parents. I saw this on TV and was entertained, while my parents were watching something else in the other room, wanting me to watch something else with them. I can't believe that will be 9 years ago next month. Well, this movie has a cool action plot with bad guys in it, that Drake & Josh have to face. We see them having the life in Hollywood California, which is a cool place to be. Even Tony Hawk has his name mentioned in this movie. This movie even shows a couple of things that seem inconsistent with the show, though not like it makes it bad. For example, in the TV show the family doesn't seem poor, but definitely aren't rich either. While in this movie, they seem rich and able to get everything they want. Especially Megan, an 11 year old girl being able to stay at the nicest hotel and have a limo take her around places, a little like Home Alone 2. It would seem like they couldn't afford that on the show. If you're a fan of Drake & Josh, then this movie definitely is for you. It's nice to know how well received this movie has been among critics and fans, even when it aired on TV. While I'm guessing that almost everybody reading this review that's watched Drake and Josh has seen the movie, where even if I do write a spoiler, it wouldn't be a spoiler if you saw the movie, I still won't write a spoiler, and hopefully nothing I wrote so far counts as one. But, seriously if you haven't seen the movie, but watch Drake & Josh, definitely see it. It comes on TV every once in awhile where you can TiVo it, and this is definitely a funny movie that will leave you feeling happy at the end. I give it a 10/10.

This time, the two brothers accidentally send their little sister,( the troublesome Megan) to LA when she goes on the wrong plane. It is up to Drake and Josh to find her and get her back but they stumble upon a little problem of their own and will need Megan's help.

I thought it was a decent film, but what more can you expect from a movie based on a Teen Nick show.

It was quick moving and was obviously for kids but teens would definitely enjoy this too if they are Drake and Josh fans.

The villains are a tad corny but once again, you can only expect that kind of behavior in something as humorous as this.

Drake also gets to play his guitar again and fans will get a taste of his new song Hollywood Girl.

So if you are flipping through channels or watching Nick and this comes on, try and watch it once and then you'll find out for yourself if this is for you or not.

I think that the Drake And Josh Go Hollywood movie was a great movie. This is my own opinion so please don't take this personal. The cast are really great, the speak clear, and load and that is very important. I am 15 years old, from what I have learned in school is that actors should use good acting habits. And that bad habits are not aloud. Why I like this movie is because the cast are really great like I kind of said up above. I hope you all liked the movie too. Please if you get time watch the movie, and just do this for the actors they take there time to work on it and make it perfect. Thank you to every body who took there time to read what I wrote, and thank you to the perfect staff for all they do. Have a great summer.

After reading the reviews for this movie, it seems like the main reason it has been negatively reviewed is due to the unrealistic aspects of the movie. I'll admit, there are a lot of dumb moments. How does Megan get on the wrong plane when her ticket should have stopped her? How does she book such an expensive room for so long by herself? Why are the thugs so stupid? All of these things are silly, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Drake and Josh has never been a serious show, so don't take it seriously.

Having said that, the movie itself is actually pretty good. It feels more like a long episode than a movie, but that's what often happens with movies based on TV shows. The jokes are in the traditional Drake and Josh style, with the noticeable lack of a laugh track in the background. The only complaint I have about the humor is that Josh doesn't behave like he normally does, which does take away from the fun a bit. He seems too serious and doesn't make as many sarcastic comments about Drake here, nor does he do any of his, as one reviewer put, "Josh- gasms."

The story is adequate. It's obvious that the focus was on the jokes and not the story, and considering that the audience is composed of kids and young teenagers, this was probably a good idea.

There are some good moments in it aside from the humor. The fight scenes are OK but nothing too thrilling, and the car chases are pretty good by TV sitcom standards. There are a few moments where I actually felt legitimately feel good and bad for Drake and Josh, which is rare for me.

Overall, a pretty solid comedy if you look past it's obvious errors.
