I saw this poor excuse for a Disney Movie a couple of Years ago, but the awfulness still sticks. Dadnapped is in all honesty one of Disney's worst films to date. The writing was utterly ridiculous, there is no way any of this madness could actually happen in real life! Do not, I repeat do NOT watch this film ever! Along with the poor writing, the acting was laughable, they used a cast made up of Disney stars that were already well known, and most haven't had a job since.So this movie is a about a teenaged girl, who's parents are separated. Yeah, like this has never been done before! The young girl (played by Emily Osment) lives with Her Mother, but is going on a holiday trip with Her Father right after School ends for the break. She is resentful, doesn't want to go, thinks Her Dad is a geek, and the story really starts to kick off! So Her Dad is a comic book writer, and has to attend a convention before they can continue with their Father and Daughter bonding time. But, this strange group of kids kidnap Her Dad and take Him for one crazy ride! In the end as You would expect the Girl saves Her Dad, the kids get of scott free, and these to goons who were in on the plan to destroy This girls Father end up in jail! That's pretty much the sum of the movie, not much to it.The movie is to predictable and paper thin for words! A 5 year old could write and produce a better film than this piece of mess! This isn't even deserving of a single star but I am being kind! Don't waste time, just don't bother!

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.

Wow. Okay, I'm a huge Disney Channel fan, have been for more than 15 years, but this movie was just . . . wow. What exactly were they trying to accomplish here? Read It and Weep was basically a flop, so what do they do? They make another movie about a schizophrenic girl who talks to an imaginary literary character. The only difference is that this time, the girl's dad created the character. As if the movie itself wasn't boring enough (and totally lacking any basis for the relationships) it was actually painful to watch Melissa talk to an imaginary person over and over, being very aware the whole time that she's NUTS. And what's up with her dad saying she IS Trip Zoome? He told her before she was boring and NOT in his books. Now she's the main character? Yeah, that's a cop out. Don't waste your time. The only reason I didn't give this a 1 is because there is enough money in the world to make me watch it again, but not to like it.

If you think kidnapping even when its for fun from some of your fans is a great subject for a comedy than you'll probably like Dadnapped. You also I'm sure liked Cop Rock when it was inflicted on the American public.The Magic Kingdom got together several of its stars from its television series lineup like Jason Earles, Moises Arias, Emily Osment, David Henrie and Phill Lewis and got them together for Dadnapped. The plot concerns Osment and her estranged father George Newbern. He writes a popular series of books about a teen superhero played in imaginary sequences by Jonathan Keltz. Which consumes all his time, so the two decide for a father/daughter vacation. But he has to stop at a fan convention first, something like the one that Tim Allen and the rest of the cast had to go in Galaxy Quest.Three young fans, Henrie, Arias, and Denzel Whitaker kidnap their favorite author as a gag. But then some others kidnap him from them for real. They want his help on a literary masterpiece. At least they keep Newbern and Osment mobile and not bed bound like Kathy Bates did to poor James Caan.I don't expect much from the Disney Studios, sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. And sometimes I'm left aghast like I was here. Hopefully some talented people will still have careers after Dadnapped has been forgotten.
