Dadnapped

Very very very interesting. Father gets dad-napped, kids chase after the wannabe cops around town in order to save the girl.

I found halfway through the movie that "dad-napped" is a play-on word. Cause "kid-napped" would imply that kids get kid-napped...but in the case of this film, one of the paternal fathers of one of the stars (Emily O.) is dad-napped.

The movie however was poorly filmed, it reminded me of a short tube clip but what more can you expect from a low budget Disney movie? I felt the 'family' connection. They should have come up with a song.

This film remind me of a beautiful mind, in that is showed a real portrayal of a person with schizophrenia. Can somebody say Oscars? (winky face) I laughed, I cried, I even ate my heart.

Melissa Morris (Emily Osment) wants to get the attention of her preoccupied best selling author father Neil (George Newbern) during their vacation. She is constantly talking to her father hero character Tripp Zoome (Jonathan Keltz). Then Neil gets kidnapped by his super fans Wheeze (David Henrie), Andre (Moises Arias), and Sheldon (Denzel Whitaker). Next she and her dad gets kidnapped by brothers Maurice (Phill Lewis) and Skunk (Charles Halford) who want Neil to fix their book. There is also hotel manager Merv (Jason Earles).

It's a cheap Disney production with their stars of the moment. There is a lot of complaining from the daughter Melissa. And her imaginary conversations are kind of annoying. In fact, everybody is annoying to some degree. The dad isn't that appealing either. After they reunite, the father daughter relationship could develop better. But nothing could really save this mess.

Dadnapped tells the story of Melissa Morris (Emilly Osment) who desperately tries to gain more attention from her ever-concerning father, Neal (George Newbern), a famous author. Melissa lives in the shadow of Tripp Zoome (Jonathan Keltz), the adventurous and street-smart hero of her father's popular spy novel. Before the long overdue father-daughter vacation, Neal was kidnapped by obsessive fans, Wheeze (David Henrie), Andre (Moises Arias), and Sheldon (Denzel Whitaker). But it wasn't until Melissa rescued her father that he was kidnapped again, along with herself, by hotel manager Merv (Jason Earles), and brothers Maurice (Phill Lewis) and Skunk (Charles Halford). Now it's up to the former kidnappers to save Melissa and her father and they're in for a big adventure and a lot of messes.

Initially I really liked my father-daughter family, I loved the somewhat zombie-like, totally bizarre, scatological work, but as it went on it became boring, boring, not very interesting, discouraging... Very childish, with lots of silly action scenes, from the middle to the end, just annoying...

This film is about a teenage girl whose father is the creator of the popular Trip Zoome man.

"Dadknapped" is a squeaky clean movie for children and teenagers. The script is rather lame at first, especially the annoyingly juvenile and irresponsible father who keeps immersing himself in a fantasy world. No wonder his daughter is so fed up with him! Towards the second half of the movie, when the elements for adults come in, it gets substantially better. Though the nonsense persists, the emotional subplot really strikes a chord with the viewers, because the bond between Mr Morris and Melissa is so real.

Overall, the plot and the humour is silly and lame, but because of this "Dadknapped" is fun to watch.

At first, I wasn't expecting much from this movie, I only watched it because of its ridiculous title, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Disney Channel movies are usually quite a hit or a miss. This was in the middle, yeah, it was corny at times, but it was funny. Not sure much of what else to say about this movie. It's not a must watch, but if you have some spare time on your hands, it isn't that bad of a movie, I'd recommend checking it out. It has some parts that are kinda painful to watch, it just hurts to, but that's overweighed by the really good parts, and some of the corny parts of the movie.
